Military and shareholders OBC no longer combinable soon.
Pluto_fan replied to HaveDogWillTravel's topic in Princess Cruises
We embark on our first Princess cruise on Wednesday, five days from now. So the military OBC we have credited to our onboard account is refundable if we don't use it? I did not know that! We have Princess Plus so I was wondering what we would use all that OBC for. Guess we should enjoy getting it refunded just this once π -
Many thanks! βΊοΈ

@Orange Yuzu Do you recall which night this was? We're embarking on Sapphire Princess next Wednesday and will be keeping an eye out for this!

Fishbone, I am loving your report π Thank you for taking the time to share your adventure with us. I had no idea about the baseball league...just checked the schedule for the one night we have in Anchorage next week, but sadly both games are out of town. I've already started my list for "next time we're in Alaska!"
-
Thanks for letting us know! We'll be on the Sapphire Princess in a few weeks and will be looking for this! Enjoy the rest of your cruise.
-
We'll also be trying Turo for the first time when we're in Juneau in a few weeks. Hope it all goes as planned!

Odd things we sometimes like to bring with us on a cruise
Pluto_fan replied to larrybritt's topic in Princess Cruises
I approve wholeheartedly! π --Pluto_fan -
Thanks for your comments...sounds like you had a fabulous day! May I ask how you found that car rental rate? For our visit in three weeks I've found $270 for Avis near the port, $170 for Juneau Car Rental near the airport, and $180 for a Turo rental downtown...still better for us (family of 5) than the Blue Bus, but $55 would be a lot better!

Can anyone comment on parking at Mendenhall? We are planning to pick up our car at 8am and head straight there, but from the google satellite view the parking lot looks tiny! At 8:30 on a Sunday we should be OK, right? Thanks for any reassurance you can provide! π

world_traveler, we will be sadly disembarking with you that same day, and heading to YVR for a 12:55 flight. We're planning to take the Skytrain. On the West Coast Departures board, there are a few very helpful Vancouver residents who have spelled out exactly how to do it; you might want to check there

Thanks for the suggestions! Anyone have more to add?

Princess Medallion app for Amazon Kindle Fire tablet?
Pluto_fan replied to PaperSniper4's topic in Princess Cruises
Thank you for the update! I hadn't considered trying to load the Princess app to my Fire, but your helpful comments made me think of giving it a try -
I ran into the same thing and had to use a different card for the second cabin

Live From the Sapphire Princess! (29 April - 10 May)
Pluto_fan replied to Drdarkknight's topic in Princess Cruises
Bon Voyage! Have a wonderful cruise! -
We have two cabins booked for our upcoming cruise on the Sapphire Princess, one for hubby and me and the other for our three kids (two young adults and a 15-year-old). The kids' cabin was booked under a "third passenger free" promotion, and passengers 1 and 2 have the Plus package. We are paid in full. Good news/bad news, passenger 2 is starting a new job π and will (almost certainly) not be able to join us . I asked my TA whether we should cancel her as soon as we know for certain, or simply have her not show up to board. TA says he spoke to Princess and they've advised that if she is a no-show, passenger 3 will automatically fall into the second passenger position in order to receive the Princess Plus perks, and taxes for the third passenger would be refunded at the end of the voyage. Since I've read here that Princess phone reps are not always consistent and/or correct...does this sound right to you? It seems like it should be, but I wanted to sanity check with the experts. I'm a planner and don't like the thought of leaving it to the last minute as we're boarding to go through the explanation. Thanks!

Live From the Sapphire Princess! (29 April - 10 May)
Pluto_fan replied to Drdarkknight's topic in Princess Cruises
Looking forward to your report! We'll be on the Sapphire Princess in June...55 days according to the App! π -
Following with interest as I have the same question! For a family of 5 the train is expensive...
-
Thanks for those details! I'm not familiar with All Trails; I'll have to check that out. I'm not sure that we want to devote that much of our time in Juneau to a hike...hmm...π€
-
Thank you for this suggestion; I was wondering if this was possible. This is what we did in Bergen, Norway, and it was perfect for us. Does anyone have any idea if the hike up is comparable? π€
-
Thanks for the warning! We love tiramisu and would order it in a heartbeat...we'll probably still give it a try but now we know to temper our expectations π Looking forward to the pizza anyway!

So excited to have booked the Sapphire for our Alaskan adventure! Can you tell me what the Sapphire's Thermal Suite includes? No aft suite for us, but I'm considering booking the week-long Thermal Suite pass if it's a nice facility. Thanks.
-
I'm pondering the same question for our upcoming cruise on the Sapphire Princess to Alaska in June. I'm having a difficult time finding out exactly what the Thermal Suite comprises, and whether the Sapphire has free sauna and steam room as mentioned by wallyj. Does anyone have insight on the Sapphire specifically? Thanks.
