AF-1

Sorry MissP22;  I have not heard of either show you mention.  Do these shows have music from the 60's and 70's or more current music?  Thanks.

The newer types of modern production shows are just not for me. Most people did enjoy the show but I still prefer the older style shows.

Guess I'm just stuck in my traditional ways. 

What do you mean by older style shows?  

Tiki_Koro;  what a great day in Dublin.  I just returned from a land tour of Ireland last week.  We spent three nights in Dublin;  there is a lot to see and do in that city.  All the best

Yes I can't see how to use it before using the OBC. The price on the app is in GBP and the OBC is in US$ Is one obstacles. 

 

We have a lot of OBC to use which is why I wanted it taken from that. When we cruised in June it was a lot more expensive once you got onboard. Now whether it is cheaper if you do it the first day onboard I don't know. 

If you can't use the OBC prior to the cruise;  wait until you board and everything that you buy, wifi, etc; will automatically go on your account.  From there those prices will be deducted from your OBC until you have none left. In post #3591,JF Retired says you can only use OBC prior to your cruise for booking excursions

Just because they can doesn’t mean they should.   If they underestimated how long she’d be in drydock, there were other courses of action they could have taken besides turning it into a garbage cruise.  

I am with you on this one.  I totally understand

Unfortunate for those who were looking forward to this cruise. Most of us breeze through the passage contract or don't read it.  Princess has the right to cancel, modify, and adjust schedules, port calls, etc. It costs the company a lot if they miss a drydock schedule; so I understand why they shortened this cruise.  For those who have not sailed Princess;  they offer a good price and a good product.   I have been trying for three years to take a New England/Canada cruise.  It's been cancelled twice so Hopefully in October I will finally get to take this cruise.  Cheers

The best thing I liked about club class dining was walking into dining room at any time;  I have used club class three times and never waited more than 2 minutes to be seated. Cheers

amajaa,  if you have on board credit, anything your purchase a drink, wifi, gifts, food, will come off your on board credit.  Once you run out of that, any additional charges will go to the credit card on file. If you are saying that you want to purchase the wifi package pre-cruise and it doesn't allow the obc to be used?  Is that correct?

Yes I did mispeak.  FlyerTalker is correct. there are two buttons at the bottom of the window.  It is still real cool to be able to lighten and darken the window verses pulling down the shade.  I like to be able to watch outside to see what is going on.

Wow!  I would like to have the opportunity to fly on a 787.  I'd like to experience the touch screen windows and the improved air system.  Don't expect that type of plane to service DAY anytime in the future.  Maybe CVG or CMH?  

We don't have 787's in CVG; but I do fly them when I connect thru ATL or DET

Just now, bmc alabama said:

Nope.  Tried that.

well the only other option is to delete app and reinstall and log back in.  Or just close app out on your iphone, reboot your iphone or android and try logging back in.  Seems almost everyone of this thread has had some sort of issues with the medallion app.  Good luck.  I sail in Oct and won't open the app until september.

20 minutes ago, bmc alabama said:

Yep, that exactly what I was trying.  It says that the “Booking is not found”.

 

however, I can see it plain as day when I login on the website.

log out of the app and log back in.  The new booking should show up

In what way?  Size?  When I first flew on a 777, I thought:  larger plane, larger restroom.  Boy, was I wrong!  

The bathroom I used on 787 was big enough to turn around and almost big enough to change your clothes.

Newer/more "advanced" is not always better.

 

Give me the steam-age technology of the 777's window blinds any time. You can't completely darken the windows on a 787. This is the reason why some airlines operating them carry window blanks in the cabin, so that pax can ask for them to shut out the light completely.

 

In addition, the 777 was built like the proverbial brick [outhouse]. That has actually been tested in real-life conditions, although mercifully only a handful of times.

Thank you for your feedback.  I appreciate your answers.

I plan on using the Binax Now test we received from the govt.  I can use them for Onpoint website;  I just pay for the video proctor.  

The 787 has the touch screen windows.  You can lighten or darken the windows by touching them.  The 777 is an old aircraft;  at least 20 years old; so the technology would not be as advanced as the 787.  I've flown both aircraft at least four times; and the bathroom on 787 are way better than 777

This is my comment to the op who mentioned they have not traveled internationally.

1. I never book a international connection less than two hours

2. I never book a domestic connection less than two hours

3. With flight crews calling in fatiqued, weather issues, etc.  I have no problem sitting in an airport for a few hours.  If I do have a slight delay at home airport, I know I've already padded the connection city with 2 or more hours

4. For those connecting in Philly;  I had a flight attendant tell the entire airplane;  never book a connection through PHL less than two hours.

5. I just returned from Dublin last week.  You pre-clear US Customs in Dublin prior to leaving.  We arrived at airport 3 1/2 hrs early and arrived at our gate 20 min prior to boarding.  It took us over two hours to get through Irish Security, US Security, and US Customs.  

Bottom Line:  try and pad all your connections both internationally and Domestic.  Now I know some may disagree; and thats ok.  I have been flying internationally for 45 years.  I've never missed a connection overseas; nor have I missed any connections in the US.  Cheers

I have flown AA Premium Economy in every row. Front, middle, and back.  Have always picked the two seat selection.  My fav is the front row. Lots of leg room.  I can stick my feet straight and can not come close to the bulkhead wall.  The overhead bins are huge so I have no need to put a bag by my seat. Also, FYI Delta now have seats in Comfort + that slide when you recline; so you do not bother the person behind you when you recline.  I flew comfort + last week from Dublin-Boston

"Loyalty points" have a monetary value. It can be difficult to define, and the same point may have different values for different purposes. But they have a value, and that value is limited. There is no reason to pay more for a loyalty point than it is worth.

 

And that's important to remember if a lower price is part of the reason for picking a cruise line air fare.

Thank you for your explanation

@AF-1I really wish they'd do away with it. Cruise is end September so see what happens by then. If they follow Princess I can do my test Friday and sail Monday. 

I hope they do away with it too.  I sail in Oct and will be in New York two days prior to my sailing; so I plan on doing virtual test at home the day prior to leaving for New York.

Thats very reasonable. I prefer flying out 2 days prior to cruise due to delays and flight cancellations. 

You can do that and still take the test in your hotel room.  Princess allows three day testing if you are vaccinated plus boostered

Just go with the two stops.  Even though the layover may seem long now.  If there is an aircraft maintenance issue or weather, then your layover is covered.  I spent five hours in Boston last week.  The time actually went quickly

If you have elite status with American Airlines, you probably care about earning loyalty points since they are the new currency for achieving or maintaining status. In April, we took a Viking cruise that included DFW-EZE and MAD-DFW flights. We arranged the flights through our AA concierge, but they were purchased by Viking. I was expecting 55000 loyalty points ($5000*11), but received only 5000. I learned that flights purchased by cruise lines do not earn loyalty points.

 

I have mixed feelings about cruiselines arranging air. On the one hand, they are ostensibly cheaper and they include a guarantee to get you on the cruise and home. On the other hand, one of the reasons they are cheaper (at least with Viking) is that they often choose a route you would not take (for example, Viking tried to send us DFW-JFK-LHR instead of DFW-LHR). Also, as stated above, you don't get loyalty points, and that's important to me. 

That stinks.  I too like to earn as many loyalty points as I can. 

Detroit is an easy airport to navigate.  I fly Delta out of Detroit quite a bit and the Delta Terminal is very easy to get around.  Good luck.  I take non stop any day any time of year. 

Boy reading all your stories makes me wonder why I chose to fly home out of AMS next July
