And this is why I ONLY deal with my travel agent.

Your suite will come with a fully stocked, one time, minibar. It will have 10 alcoholic beverages and 10 non. In addition, the steward will bring you bottled water every night (sometimes includes the first night, other times not). If you are elite loyalty, you will receive a second complimentary mini-bar. Often times, that is plenty for a seven day cruise. It was really nice when you could trade it for a coffee "card" You can still trade it in for a bottle of their "fine" (hmmmm) wine.

You can either go to another travel agency or book it yourself and turn it over to her when she returns. You can always cancel...if you do it with a refundable deposit.

I think you should join me for a July 2024 cruise to Iceland and Greenland. The later and farther north you go, the better are your chances of seeing the Northern Lights. I liked Denmark, not sure if there are enough things to do for 3 ports. Are these 50% off cruises if booked onboard?

The Caribbean Princess was at 7:30 and 9:30. Someone just reported that they had an afternoon Princess Theater overflow on a sea day. Very crowded. You need to be ther at least 15 minutes before. More like 30.

@triple7tahoe It comes as an email link from Princess.

I took the Princess transfer from the pier to the airport. I was surprised how far out of the city the SMALL airport was.

I’m vertically challenged. Once it’s done…that’s it, not OSHA approved.

You don't...or remove the paper/tape...or use a flashlight...or turn on the bathroom light.

There is ONLY one NOT ACCEPTABLE remember...No one should use duck tape. I am glad you thought of a creative and none harmful way to disable that most annoying light. For YEARS, Princess didn't have them. Safety issue? As functional as the Medallion Class App. I'm guessing that the majority of passengers (50.000001%) hate this latest addition. Any one willing to wager a number?

Happy early Anniversary. So sorry you received the disembarkation sign just days after getting on. Always makes me sad.

Yes, I have found similar schedules, but nothing for 2024. I even wrote to the port authorities...who replied with: "We will get back to you...." and hasn't. Hard to make hotel reservations for 2024. I don't want to wait so long with higher prices and sold out.

This might help. Not sure the reasoning for disembarking 40 passengers in Whittier. Just speculating that some chose to do on the 7 days (Vancouver to Whittier)? Some caught The Virus. But it would have been much easier for passengers to find transportation out of Anchorage rather than Skagway. Appreciate any further updates when your friends are feeling better. Most important would be if they had insurance. I can see why Princess would not allow them to continue on the land portion of the cruise. I didn't know that Princess had a disembarkation in Skagway for a land portion. I have watched youtube videos of passengers joining a ship in Skagway after a land tour. Is this new?

OP stated that it was a cruise/land tour. If it was a back to back, they would have been quarantined on the ship until deemed safe to move about.

Thank you for this thread. May I ask which terminal does Princess use? On my documents, they list Mayflower and Ocean. Did you stay at a pre-cruise hotel? Any assistance and suggestions would be most interesting. As far as Green/Blue lane, did it matter much since many would not have the option to have their medallion shipped to them.

Did you print out/screen shot your final statement while on board? Did it match your credit card card/statement? If both are yes, then just delete the email/pdf. Continue to check your credit card statement for any post cruise transactions from Princess for a few months.

I understand that this is a second hand account post. I am having a difficult time (line) following. The edit says a 14 day cruise/land tour. Vancouver to Anchorage (7 days) then 7 days land tour?) Did passengers have insurance? Did they book through EZ Air? Did they see the Medical Center for positive test? What happened to the "other" 40 pax? Were all passengers stranded or were some of them at the end of their cruise (no land)? If this was at the end of their cruise, they would not have been quarantined on the ship. If they had tested positive for THAT (what ever "that" is), on day 5, they would have been quarantined for the rest of the time on the on the ship from "onset" of symptoms. 5 days in quarantine (or until they got off) plus 5 days of masking (CDC guidelines). Insurance would have taken care of the rest (trip interruption). More information is needed for cc members to reply with suggestions.

Thanks for calling. I will come with all of will power (to be nice). I have lots of days to get this resolved to "my" satisfaction. Not that I would use it. It's the principle. To summarize: 1. No charge to exchange mini-bar. 2. No charge (from someone else) to order Elite/Suite Tea Service. 3. No charge for using door hanger for regular breakfast order. Have a fantastic day tomorrow and every day after that.

Have a glorious voyage. I will be following your adventures. Thanks for reporting on changing out the mini bar. Now to find out if suites will be charged for MDR delivery. If you just happen to run across anyone who may have the answer, please ask. Thanks

And what about the revived... The "New" Love Boat series. Oops, my bad. I was booked Honolulu to Tahiti on the Pacific Princess. Cancelled by the shut down. Then she was sold. That was my last chance.

Which Princess ship has a helipad?

But not as many as before.

@dickinson glad you made all your flights.

After many, many, many cruises, I finally made it to the Medical Center. Had the best doctor I've had ever; well, maybe an exaggeration. But he was funny and very personable. He even accompanied me to my cabin. Don't get too excited. He wanted to see which brand of Paxlovid I had brought with me and administer a covid test to my cabin mate. I remember when....they had many episodes on the room tv. I enjoyed relaxing and watching them without commercials. Fun Thread.
