Sorry, my bad. I missed a couple words in the original post. We are on the Emerald Princess in Nov going through the Panama Canal. A combination of poor eyesight (damn vision seems to vary from day to day) and an extremely small font.

We are on that same cruise in November

I really don't understand this question. Why not just try it out and see for yourself? Call your mom, your daughter, your dealer, somebody... If it works then you have your answer. Why ask here when the obvious and simple answer it to simply give it a try and see how it works for you???

I can't try it out because I am not on the ship. I know my wifi works but it is very dependent on the ban with on the ship. It has worked on some not others

We are on the Emerald Princess in Nov going through the Panama Canal. While on the cruise there are some calls that I have to make. I have the internet pkg and was wondering if I could use the WiFi calling to accomplish this. Has anyone used it?  Was the quality good?  Thanks

If you purchase the drink package on Carnival do you still get the soda cup? I know Princess does not give it out anymore, but RC still does. It is nice to have it for water, soda, etc

That stinks, I know Royal does. It all goes in the same big pot

Does Carnival recognize your status on other Carnival owned lines (Princess, HAL, Etc)

Yes...keep looking for at least 20-30% off then book...once onboard if you can do better cancel it and repurchase...the pre-cruise price you paid on the cruise planner will then be given back to you as OBC.

Thanks

I know drink pkgs are usually more if you buy them on board rather than on the cruise planner. Is this true of the soda pkg too?

Having been on 2 not so great cruises out of 66 I consider myself lucky. However one of them was the week before drydock and one after drydock. Never again. Before they were taking things apart and after they were still putting things together

No. Canned soda is not included in the Premier Beverage Package, nor the Soda & More package. Fountain sodas are included. Not sure which one you have, as there is no package called deluxe drink package. You are permitted to carry on as much canned soda as you like.

Sorry for the the confusion I have the Premier pkg. Thinking of the name of the pkg on one of my other cruises

If I have the deluxe drink package can I get canned soda? I like my diet coke when I first get up and would normally get one the night before to keep in the fridge till morning then enjoy it and the sunrise in the balcony

Called princess got a very nice representative expressed my disappointment. Got 100 dollar obc. That will off set the increase in the drink pkg which is my real disappointment

I am cruising on the Regal on Dec 10 and have not received any info on the medallion. Does that mean I am getting it? I am a platinum member. Would my consultant at princess know? Also have not heard anything about the $100. Could someone enlighten me? Thanks

Great. Thanks

Getting started with Princess@Sea is easy. Simply connect to the ship’s WIFI once onboard, open the browser on your computer, tablet, mobile phone or other device, and Princess@Sea will be the default page that appears. It even operates in "Airplane Mode". No cellular or data charges required!

Getting ready to get on the regal and went looking for the phone app I used the last time but can't find it. Is it no longer available? I really thought it was great

On the oasis now and been to two of the specialty restaurants so far. Boy people who are not on the package (I am) are really getting upset about the 18% gratuity added on to their bill (which was included before) and raising a stink. In effect they have raised their prices 18% and put it in small print. Also noticed they are not as crowded as they used to be.

One drink at a time on Royal.

Depends on the bartender and how you get to know them

Depending on when you put it in your cart it would show this if it was put in before they raised the price. The same thing happened to me

OP - was your booking made direct with Princess or travel agent?

Directly through Princess. From past experiences I want someone I can contact 7 x 24

Well done! The price has also fallen on my December cruise and I was thinking it would be useless to ask for the reduction, but now I might just give it a try.

Do it and don't accept their no answer but in a very nice way

I was out checking on my Dec cruise and noticed the price had dropped. I could now get in a balcony for what I paid for an inside guarantee. (I had already taken advantage of a $150 price reduction) Since I am past my final payment I didn't think there was anything I could do but thought I would give it a try. Well I got the answer I expected that it was only for new reservations. After a little whining I convinced him to talk to a supervisor. After a 5 minute wait he came back and said they would move me to a balcony. THANK YOU PRINCESS! They know how to treat and keep their customers unlike some of the other lines

Now,if they would just have a question about the constant battering for dinner, drink, spa, etc pkgs.

We will be on the Oasis from 10/22-10/29 so not sure if we will get the full Halloween experience.....

 

Can anyone tell me what we might expect?

I will be getting on as you get off. Leave some booze behind for me. Lol

Been on cruise ships for just about every holiday (this is my 66th) except for Halloween. Has anyone been on it for this holiday and what they do as far as activities? Thanks
