If you are offered an up-sell, do you keep the perks that you already have with your original booking?

yes

thanks. I don't want (well I do but not yet) to do a world cruise. I was just curious about one specific segment. Thanks

The second. When they release the pricing to Elites on 4/24 for the World Cruise, they have a segment for the Panama Canal which is what I am interested in doing in January 2020. If it's cheaper to book it when the standalones come out, I shall wait. Thank you for your answer.

Is there a difference in price in booking a cruise that is part of a world cruise or booking the cruise as a "standalone"?

The other option is to just call and ask. I couldn't take advantage of the discount that I was offered when I left my last cruise. When I decided to book my next one, I called my TP and he gave me casino rates. I ended up getting a Window suite for the same price as a balcony and the perks that were being offered at the time. I then emailed the Ocean Players Club and they gave me free casino play on the same cruise.

I didn't last time but I do have a travel size that I might on the next cruise. The one they provide is very weak. Feels like it takes forever.

If you have hair of any length, bring your own shampoo and conditioner. I fill TSA size bottles and it lasts me for a 10 day and i have long hair. I bring extra soap and lotion, hotel size.

Yes, I heard April 19th, the 18th for elite.

I asked on Facebook and no. We're sailing in January and they will not have the on demand by then. Sure hope they have some good dvd's!

You can also pre-purchase the PBP from the Princess Web site when managing your booking. My family and I are sailing on the July 8th Inside Passage trip and have bought the PBP for my husband and me. We don't plan on staying drunk to make the package worthwhile. While we will have our fair share of alcoholic drinks, the specialty coffees/lattes (I need real coffee in the morning!), bottled waters, fresh juices, sodas, milkshakes, etc., that are included in the package should make it worth the cost--for us. I've read both the pros and cons on these boards, and some people seem to be very strong in their opinions. We're not frequent cruisers, so even if we don't break even, I think that the convenience of not having to pay for each individual beverage will make our trip feel more like the once-in-a-lifetime vacation that it is for us, and we'll be more relaxed and enjoy ourselves more.

Well said.

Sorry to sound dumb but what kind of info do you need to make it all work?

You enter the number that is on the bottom right side of their cruise card. It's 4 digits.

You cannot get it until you are on the ship and yes, you'll need their info.

that should say your phone in airplane mode, not your plane.

There is the princess app that you use. Put your plane in airplane mode. You have to have the other persons shipboard # and add it into your contacts. The only issue with it is that is doesn't notify you if you have a message so you have to check. The instructions on how to set it up will be in your patter. It's pretty simple.

Depending how late you are there, I highly recommend a sunset cruise out to the arches on a smaller sailboat. I think we had about 11 people on ours.

Thanks all. this sounds marvelous. Just have to remember to pack closed toe shoes just in case!

thank you. I'm told I shouldn't miss it. Do suite passengers have priority on signing up?

Does the Grand do a Chef's Table and if so, do you know what dining room it is in?

Thanks

Your husband sounds like my brother in law. He hit it twice!

I base it on the # of sea days. 4 or more yes. That's on a 10 day. We do a lot of specialty coffee and teas during the day. Martini's at night!

But that would be wonderful

Thank you. I really want to do the panama canal in 2020.

And it can change your flight if you booked through EZ Air. I called regarding this and I would have had to rebook my return flight.

I won $1,000 2 nights in a row on the same machine a few years back. I venture to say that I have given that all back on subsequent cruises. But, at least I get the discounted fare so that works for me.

I would think not
