Where did you see the OBC on navigator app?

We were on the same GV with a much different perspective. There were many options on the Atlantide menu and flavor and service was excellent. The ship had to tender because we were not supposed to be in port for 3 days. There were container ships in our dock space. We were happy to be tendered so we didn’t smell the dead fish by the dock. SS has no control over these odors. We did 3 excursions and SS didn’t charge us. They were all very good including a snorkel catamaran and an all day excursion to a Hilton resort on a beautiful island with nice lunch. Remember, we all got our money back after the 30 days and paid nothing for the 3 days on the ship. So food, excursions, transfers and hotel(4 days for us) was no charge. We got great flights home. SS did a great job in a bad situation.

Duh! You are so right! Can’t believe I didn’t figure that out. Thanks!

We will be on the Rotterdam November 24 on b2b2b and was wondering how you know the ship is going through the new locks.

Who are the entertainers on your ship? We board Oct 7.

We will use Luggage Forward in January from San Diego to Capetown. Can we use Apple AirTags? They are lithium batteries. When I emailed Luggage Forward they said they are not allowed but all airlines accept them now. Has anyone had experience with this?

When going through the locks the times can vary with each ship/voyage. You would not know what time you are going through the locks. It could be windy and look at time of sunset that time of year. Going through the locks is a good time to roam to different decks and parts of the ship to get different vantage points. I would not want to be confined to my balcony while transiting the locks. Just my opinion...

I was able to get the HC Worker $100 credit for a cruise thisDecember. When I tried to get the credit for 2 cruises this year in August and November, I was unable. So I called HAL and was told that I am only eligible for the credit once per year. Is this true? The representative also told me that you apply for 1 HC credit, and after you sail you apply for the next. So which one is true? I have no idea. I then asked if I could get the credits added to the August and November cruises and she said "no'. I thought the credit was for all eligible cruises. Do any of you have different information?

We are doing the Capetown to Athens next January. We looked at the land extension but booked a private tour company instead for 12 days before cruise. Includes Victoria falls. We had the time and it seemed less rushed and more flexible. We were also able to customize things we wanted to include.

I have used it in casino and gotten cash back too from casino cashier. This worked for my non refundable OBC. Guess at some point princess will no longer allow that.

Surprised to see that November 17, 2023 Sojourn itinerary (Caribbean), has no excursions listed. We usually do independent excursions, but wondering why there's nothing posted yet on the SB page.

I bought 100 shares about 12 years ago. Paid over $4100. I stopped counting the OBC after I received over $6000. Another $1000 for this year coming up. I use it on Princess, HAL and Seabourn.

Thanks for the info. I submitted to the email address from the new PDF and got a response for all 3 of my upcoming cruises within 2 hours.

I sent mine in last Wednesday. It’s been a week. No response.

The current PDF for CCL shareholder benefits says its for sailings by July 31, 2023. I submitted a request for an August sailing and haven’t heard back from them. Usually it’s a fast response. Does anyone know if the Board extended these benefits for cruises starting August 1?

Can we carry a US passport card instead and leave passport book in safe on ship?

We took taxis there many times from ship to Jolly Harbor. Never an issue. Lots of taxis fir return. We also stayed there for a month and taxis were great. There’s also a public bus walking distance from port and goes to beaches, etc. That works great too.

Ask for Mia!

We are on Diamond. Spoke to someone yesterday who requested inside to balcony upgrade upon boarding. Not allowed. Shop only 40% full.

I have gone to slot machines. Load maybe $200 into machine from your account. Do 1 pull. Cash out. Take receipt to cashier. Voila!!! I do t do more that $200/night. Did it with no -refundable OBC many times.

We were on the ship last week and got a written notice the day before.

HIA and what you spend with OBC all counts. Not sure about casino. I can’t figure out how they calculate HIA, but I always get the maximum and we get the HIA and do very little extra spending onboard. Gratuities count too. They seem to always round upwards.

Money credits spent for excursions will be automatically applied. There is a limit though. You can credits get up to the number of cruise nights. So on a 7 day cruise, you can get up to 14 credits.

Not working yet. Hopefully soon to ensure quick embarkation.
