Do they pass out the glasses of champagne to the crowd afterwards?

Just now made reservation for Bistro Dec 3, hoping to get automatically transferred to The Catch. Didnt realize there was a delay in opening. Any more info avail?

Strangely, I just booked on a casino rate, paid in full, and do not find the option to buy/add Princess Plus anywhere.

I cancelled my reservation to steakhouse, no refund received in timely fashion, so disputed via credit card company. Will need to check for refund.

I saw some of the deserts on Discover ,we do not get the Plus as I am Insulin Dependant Diabetic . 
The poor server at the gelato bar was taking several minutes to make each desert , each one had 2 huge lollipops sticking out of the top . 
I did get the Old Soda package that no longer exists .

 

 Curious if those 2 huge lollipops were wrapped in celophane, or are they just getting all sticky? If wrapped, maybe salvageable for later?

Be advised that the majority of the Discovery Mini Suites only sleep 3 people and the 4 person Mini Suite go very quickly. It is essential that you book early if you want a Mini Suite.

Good point! Appreciate the heads up!

The other bed is a pull down ceiling berth over the sofa.

Thank you. I thought that, but couldn't see it in any google pictures.

Planning a cruise with daughter and 2 grandchildren in a minisuite on Discovery Princess. Where does the 4th person sleep? (I will have the sofa bed and don't want to share.) Any pictures available of 4th bed in minisuite? TIA.

I also got that 360 call tonight and seemed like it was also included for my travelling companion. I am confused now....and she will surely be disappointed if not included. Any info on the surprise? Had hoped it was Luminiere.

I just got that same call. Just like you, it was only for me. There are six of us traveling in four different cabins.  Who wants to go alone if you are traveling with others. Had I been solo, I would have done it. 
we are all packed and ready to go now. Cleaned up the house so that we can come home to a lovely clean house. 
I do need to cut my boyfriend’s hair tonight. My first occupation prior to being in IT for the last thirty years. 
see you guys on board.  
 

Princess telephoned me at 7:17am today, Sunday, to cheerfully say I need to get into the green zone for an upcoming cruise and that she would be happy to help me order my medallion to accomplish this. I sleepily said OK (3/4 of bottle of Pinot last night), but that others had already tried. So, she tried...and tried....and then asked if she could call back and try again later.....Day is over, no call back and still no medallion can be ordered, but I had already been in the green zone and then something unknown happened that caused me to start from scratch. I'm way not impressed with this Medallion App.  Clunky, unusable...and I'm not tech unsavy. 

So, my medallion app issues are somewhat unresolved, at least I can log in again, but cannot get past the blue zone (was previously green zone, then the unexplained meltdown 2 weeks ago merging my acct with my cabinmates account, which is still unresolved on the website...I log in and her info displays, weird, huh?.), but CS was personable and tried. I think the problem is that the code is clunky and not all scenarios have been addressed. I'll be the one wearing a sun hat at the desk, trying to check in in two weeks. Wish me luck.

Please tell me I am not the only one with this issue. Sometimes my cabin mate is disappearing from the app. Also sometimes the people I linked will disappear. Then when I go to book dining sometimes it will say no reservations available but if I try a few minutes later it will work. So odd and fustrating. 

I am so frustrated trying to use this pos princess app! 

I'm local to the area and would fly in/out of SNA all day long rather than use LAX. My opinion.

Those Ocean guys are always surprised, "never seen this before"...uh huh.

I had DH's middle name (mine is NMI). My security picture disappears, then reappears, his disappeared forever (had to do a new one). Other stuff was screwed up. They'd fix one thing and something else would break. At one point couldn't log in on app or internet. It took 3 months to get it fixed. We cruise on the 2nd and I ain't touchin' nuthin'.

I did cancel a specialty dinner reservation recently.  Havent seen the refund, maybe it went to her credit card and not mine? Messy. I'm leaving it alone.

My Medallion App and Princess account are all tangled up with my cabin mate's account. Cannot lot in to website and App shows my picture and email address, but shows cabin mates name and credit card info. According to app, we both have same name. Other pieces are tangled, as well. I called and was told , wow, we've never seen this before,  and then was asked to give them a few days to figure it out. Cruise is in 3 weeks, so they have a bit of time....Anyone else experiencing this?  (I asked my roll call and they all seem ok.) Seems kinda glitchy and problematic.

I just bid minimum for upgrade from casino standard balcony to mini suite for cruise next month. My cabinmate wasnt happy about it, but I am excited by the opportunity!  Hope bid is accepted!!

Do we need to be in cabin for treats guacamole and chips etc to be delivered?

I contacted casino dept again and the reason for not listing Princess Plus on original documents was "human error", which I accept. Things happen, people get rushed. All is well and I look forward to my Princess cruise. Thank you all for your replies. Whoopee!!! I've booked a cruise!!!

I booked directly with representative of casino department. Thank you everyone for your replies. I have a message in to the supervisor and hopefully he can work it all out. Maybe I'm just being a bit nervous/overthinking and all will be fine. (Thought everything would be clearly listed, but then I did book on a Saturday two days ago...hm...) 

If he intentionally misled me in order to get a commissioned booking for himself, is the $200 nonrefundable deposit still nonrefundable? I know I verbally verified this with him and I'm not a fan of conflict or being misled.

I verbally verified princess plus with him multiple times during our phone conversations, but it is not listed anywhere on my booking that I can find. I fear he lied to me to get the casino booking. Does that happen? If so, can they find the phone recording and fix this? Calling back when casino office opens.

Received my invoice and checked online account but don't see Princess Plus noted anywhere. Navigator said it was included, should it be noted or do I need to call that busy casino telephone number again to verify? Please tell me where would it normally be notated, so I can look there? Tyvm.

For example, cruise from Papeete to HNL with reduced airfare from LAX. Does my $149 reduced airfare get me to Papeete from LAX for embarkation and then back to LAX from HNL at time of disembarkation? Tried to clarify with NCL but I've no patience with being on hold. 

Hoping someone can easily clarify for me. TIA.

...not totally insignificant, as some have claimed....our recent Mexico cruise was many  hours late leaving port in Los Angeles and tax for DH and I was over $20. Not a deal breaker, but was a surprise to us and many others.
