2 cruises a year

Also, can you just imagine trying to walk thru the corridors in the dark during a crisis causing the lights to be out?

All of the comments above are answered on princess.com under Accessible Cruising. Bold type, my emphasis. Please ensure that your mobility device meets the following specifications: Maximum device width: 22” for standard staterooms, 31” for wheelchair-accessible staterooms Maximum combined weight of the wheelchair, including guest: 600 pounds (weight may vary outside the United States) Your mobility device must be securely stored in your stateroom when not in use. This will ensure that hallways and other public areas are clear for other guests and crew to safely move throughout the ship. We do not offer alternate locations for mobility device storage onboard. For assistance onboard with charging your equipment in your stateroom, please contact your stateroom attendant. If you are bringing other mobility equipment onboard or if you have booked Princess transfers, pre or post hotel stays, Cruisetours or shore excursions you must complete our Mobility Questionnaire (PDF) and return it to us at least 60 days prior to sailing. (This questionnaire also references storing your scooter in the cabin) Please be advised that filing out the Mobility Questionnaire is to ensure that our Access team can properly assist you with your accessibility and mobility needs. It is not an approval or confirmation of any request, nor does it guarantee being booked into or moved to an accessible cabin. Please ensure that you discuss your cabin needs with your Travel Advisor or our Reservations department.

Hmmm, love your Profile picture. By any chance is that the Star Princess on her Homecoming into San Francisco after the Covid pause. Here is my picture that day. We were probably within eyesight of each other.

Yep, I've done that myself. Boy did I feel silly.

It is very easy to set up a secondary email to maintain your privacy. Yahoo, Gmail, Hotmail, and Outlook are the most obvious. Use it to get started then forget about it until you need it again for a similar circumstance.

My thoughts exactly! 🙃

The sea days are great, the time changes are brutal. I'd still do a Pacific crossing anytime.

I agree!

Deleted, wrong port.

Okay then, Passengers Vessel Services Act.

And also during an unusually high tide to low tide period. Strong current caused by a lot of water in a big bay trying to get out to sea.

Post #306?

You have to make a lot of assumptions to get to your conclusion.

Thank you for this. I didn't think anything of it. I read it as "a collision", blaming it on that darned auto-correct. That's my learn something new every day, for today.

Well put, end of discussion.

True, unlocking your door enters you to win a prize. You don't have to open the door to win.

But their passports had been scanned and they boarded a ship for an itinerary that was subject to the PVSA. As far as Customs knows, they embarked and disembarked at the same port without visiting a foreign or distant port. ps. Yes this was a loaded question, I submitted it for the sake of the discussion. PSVA and Jones Act discussions go on for ever. I guess I should have been more direct with my question. The PSVA can be excepted under certain conditions, weather, medical etc. I think the Act came into play here, but I think that an exception was made. @DallasGuy75219 has a good idea also. They never went anywhere, so the Act never came into play. So, what does everyone else think?

Just one man's opinion: Carnival Corporation is not going to pay down their $26 billion debt by paying you to open the door to your cabin. We are fans and supporters of Princess. But don't make any decisions based on opening your cabin door.

I'm wondering about the PVSA. Passengers boarded, but didn't stop at a foreign, or distant port.

The Captain of the ship is always ultimately responsible.

Personally, I think that you've made the right decision. Domestically, it is a hard decision to make, price wise, and comfort level wise. But hopefully, you see the benefit of the extra cost, and if you do travel internationally, you will appreciate the comfort level. As I said early on, I think the package is worth it. Now that you've made your decision, let's see how much longer this thread goes on. Get your popcorn out.

Yes

Make that 3-4 drinks a day, plus specialty coffee, soft dinks, bottled water, Perrier or San Pellegrino, special desserts. You can try new and different drinks, desserts, etc., if you don't like it, no big loss. Lots of little options that can be taken for granted, but add up. Plus, just the convenience of no surprises on your final bill. After tips (a constant), and Wi-Fi (a sliding scale value to everyone) it doesn't really take too much to break even. I think that it really is a bargain unless you drink absolutely nothing.

We've also found this to be true. If we fly Domestically, we go one day early, which most people seem to do, and the flights all start arriving at similar times. We were put on a bus, and waited until it was full. A little frustrating, but not a deal breaker. When we fly Internationally, we go four days early. (Gives us time to explore new Cities) Seems no one else is arriving that early and we have had a Private Car. This does make the Princess Hotel deal cost more, I do tip the Private Car driver. 😁😉 It sure is First Class treatment.

We were also on that cruise and still using up FCC's. We were booked B2B all the way through the Panama Canal to San Pedro. We had a very interesting flight from Buenos Aires back to San Francisco. Kudos to EZ Air. They booked the flights for us.
