  1. He's the guy who decides if you can get back on the ship.
  2. At least the OP is only dealing` with two different piers at the same port. Those of us sailing out of NYC for months have been told that we could be sailing out of one of two cruise ports. While I have known that our port was Brooklyn for months by looking at the port schedule, many have been confused and wondering where to book hotels pre-cruise. As you can see below, even though they clarified that we indeed are sailing out of Brooklyn, they didn't bother to take 10 seconds to delete Manhattan from the itinerary. Sat, 10/29/22 New York City (manhattan Or Brooklyn), New York View general port information Brooklyn Cruise Terminal Pier 12 72 Bowne Street Brooklyn, Ny 11231 Www.Nycruiseterminal.Com
  3. The port guide says that the charge to park is $30 per day, is there tax added to that?
  4. Is this factual or is it speculation based on your well-established distaste for everything Princess?
  5. When I read the dinner reservations disappeared threads, I always check mine to insure mine are still there. this time I got a message that I could not make reservations until my cruise was paid in full. i also noticed the boarding QR code was gone. After momentary panic I rebooted my IPhone and all was well.
  6. Bad and irresponsible advice, unless you are familiar with security at every port everywhere. Especially since you won't be the one having to dispose of the bottles if they are enforcing the policy,
  7. Platinum/Elite members get 50% discount on internet. Internet is no longer metered by the minute, only by day.
  8. We were able to do that upgrade, but it was way before 5 days.
  9. The arrival groups for my October 29th cruise on the Enchanted Princess opened this morning 59 days out.
  10. As I reported in another thread I reported a problem paying for excursions. This was resolved by calling Princess.
  11. Called Princess this morning after another unsuccessful try and, miracle of miracles, call was answered within a minute and payment was made.
  12. Just selected the excursions for our October cruise on the Enchanted. They are in the cart but when I attempt to pay the website asks me to sign back in and results in an infinite loop of the same two steps. Anyone else? I will try again tomorrow and call Princess if unsuccessful. I find it ironic that I have had zero problems with the app and here I am having trouble with the tried and true personalizer.
  13. @Flyinby after reading your post it sounds to me that you have already made up your mind and will spend time son your cruise looking for things that validate your preconceptions.

    Soda

    Grab a can of soda out of the fridge, give it a good shake and open it. 😁
  15. Starbucks has convinced their patrons that strong, bitter and burned tasting coffee is the hallmark of "high quality" coffee.
  16. I am an insulin user. Most insulins today are effective for up to 30 days at room temperature. Therefore, the fridge in the cabin is sufficient to keep it cool. I use an insulin pump and carry up to 4 days supply at any given time at room temperature,
  17. They do, but it is not judgement when they go on an anti-Princess rant with no basis in fact. Fact is no one posting here has any idea exactly what 360 is other than some new dining venue with pasta. No information on price or exclusivity. No reason to condemn it before the information is fully known. I am not in favor if it turns out to be a very high-priced dining venue that cuts a portion of the ship away from the regular cruisers. I hope Princess is not going the way Norwegian has in creating an exclusive area for those who can afford higher fares. I look at things like Club Class Dining, Suite Breakfast and the Sanctuary as small steps in that direction. Hopefully we are not headed into the bygone days when there were different classes on ships and never the twain shall meet.
  18. Criticism before finding out the truth?
  19. I just love idle speculation, especially when the poster gets angry about it.
  20. No worries here, no one really cares, so is it a fear of being bullied? Relax and enjoy your cruise,
  21. Where do you get this information?
  22. Those who don't want Princess to "track them" are in one or more of the following categories: 1. Have an elevated opinion of themselves. 2. Actually believe somewhere Princess has a building somewhere where thousands of employees track and report their every move. 3. Engaging in non-spousal romantic activities in a different cabin, 4. Hiding location from spouse/partner (see also number 3) The tracking is mostly to collect metadata which allows Princess to determine venue usage for future use. Yes, they can find you in emergency situations, or as cited earlier, when the steward needs to see if you are out of the cabin. Relax and enjoy folks!
