  1. Have you tried adding it yourself online in Cruise Personalizer? Edit: That is to say, tried adding it to the now-complete booking?
  2. You don't. It is most likely a value entered in a comment field on the booking by a booking agent and easily ignored or missed by humans. In other words, it's not true/false condition that a computer can evaluate for and remove from dataset when they run whatever optimization program it is that they run which causes these sorts of "upgrades". Sometimes people just repeat whatever they hear.
  3. Another member of the L107 club here -- Royal Princess. Love, love, love this cabin. The wind while underway is the real deal, but can be mitigated by wind and sea conditions combined with the ship's heading. If you're sailing 20 knots into a 20 knot headwind, yeah, not enjoyable out there. But if you've got the wind at your stern and the weather is nice, you can absolutely enjoy the balcony while underway. The easy access to everything on Deck 16 is wonderful. Less time in elevators, more time enjoying the ship and sea.
  4. You're allowed to say Facebook. Jeez.
  5. Just did a booking for a 5-day California coastal out of SF coming up in April. I expected $200 OBC, but then I noticed the "Casino Core" $100 OBC, with a total of $300 OBC on the booking. What is the $100 OBC Casino Core?
  6. Recent trip on the Royal... last group (Green 7) was 9:25 am. They actually called it and threw everyone off at 9:10. Out of cabins at 8:30. 11:00 am is not happening.
  7. A lot of us eat early. Then we eat again a little later on. Then midnight room service.
  8. Have all your travel docs with you when you arrive, check in as you have done in the past. They will give you medallions at the terminal.
  9. Wow. Thanks for the citation. It still doesn't read like an official statement. Something is wrong there. No way any corporate statement would lead off with blaming the customer.
  10. If you're booking direct with Princess, they are not simply going to charge whatever card you used for the deposit. That does not happen and has never happen. I don't know what other lines do, but Princess does not do that. Neither does NCL, fwiw.
  11. This does not read like a statement from Princess. Can you cite your source?
  12. Agree with the others. The step up height into the bathroom is closer to 3 inches. Someone has been lying to someone else about what 8 inches looks like for a long time...
  13. This is entirely dependent on the sea and wind conditions combined with the ship's heading. If the ship is pushing 20 knots into a 20 knot headwind on a northerly heading off the coast of California, the forward balconies are simply not usable. I mean, you can go out there and duck a lounger under the forward bulkhead, but you're not hosting a get-together in those conditions.
  14. This nailed it, thank you! I am going to steal your picture and add to my collection from this last trip... full disclosure!
  15. I appreciate the response. None of those look like the shiny bulbous green-tit menagerie I just saw. They come close, but not quite right. I stupidly failed to take a pic of it. It was absurd in its shape and sweet to the point that S&H went out of business. It was a large shiny green dome of sweet horror. On the Royal. This week.
  16. Has anyone happened to grab a pic of the Chocolate Pistachio Dome Desert (recently served on Royal, or wherever) they would be willing to share? Need to settle a debate. Thanks!
  17. Sounds like you need to find this woman Christine to help calm you down. She seems to have things in perfect perspective! Sarcasm, of course. This is a really awful development.
