  1. Here is the answer from Princess. Redeeming onboard credit Before you sail, your Onboard Credit can be used to purchase shore excursions online through Cruise Personalizer. When you check out, we’ll automatically apply your credit to the payment due unless you uncheck the "onboard credit applied" box on the "Reservation Summary" screen. Once on board, you can use Onboard Credit on shore excursions, specialty dining, spa treatments, beverage packages and more. Purchases will be added to your stateroom folio and your Onboard Credit will be automatically applied before your credit card is charged at the end of your cruise. https://www.princess.com/en-us/plan/fcc-onboard-cruise-credits
  2. Was on Enchanted in July. Breakfast waiter said the chef will make you anything you want if they have the ingredients . We tested the system and asked for biscuits and gravy . Best I have had in years. We had several other special requests and it was great.
  3. Bluestone Group, a specialist construction company based in the UK, has won a contract from Princess Cruises to install Silverstream Air Lubrication System (ALS) on two cruise ships, Sky Princess and Enchanted Princess.
  4. They can upgrade before the cruise or when you get on the ship.
  5. Be advised that the majority of the Discovery Mini Suites only sleep 3 people and the 4 person Mini Suite go very quickly. It is essential that you book early if you want a Mini Suite.
  6. Just got off Discovery Princess in San Pedro. Special needs at Sea was excellent . The way it worked for us was when we arrived and dropped off our luggage we asked the attendant for a wheelchair to take us to our room (that's where the scooter will be). A wheelchair attendant came out and picked us up at luggage and pushed us to Check in. After check in you switch attendants who pushes you all the way to your room where your scooter is waiting. When you disembark the ship you drive your scooter to your disembarkation lounge where the manager will call for a wheelchair who will push you all the way to the street. Only one little problem. Since we were one of the first people on the ship the scooter was not yet in the room. The attendant pushed us to the buffet where we had a bite to eat. When we finished and went back to the room the scooter was in the room. I was impressed with Princess and Special Needs at Sea.
  7. Musk to the rescue . As of February 2023, Starlink consists of over 3,580 mass-produced small satellites in low Earth orbit (LEO), which communicate with designated ground transceivers. In total, nearly 12,000 satellites are planned to be deployed, with a possible later extension to 42,000.
  8. When you drop off your bags ask the assistant for handicap help. If you need a wheelchair they will bring you a Wheelchair and an assistant will push you all the way to the check in counter. Once checked in they switched to an another assistant who pushed all the way on the ship. When you debark the ship notify the ship and the will pick you up and push you all the way to vehicle pick up area. We had a very unique situation and I have to say Princess did a fantastic job with our handicap. I think our travel agent had called Princess and this is what they told her.
  9. The only advantage I can see is you don't have to make payment to EZair right now. You money would be safe until 54 days prior to departure . Air payment is due on the date of the final cruise payment – not at the time of air booking. Air charges are fully refundable until 54 days prior to departure.
  10. Just booked EZair business class LAX to Barcelona returning Rome to LAX. The flight was about 30% cheaper than booking online. The best part was that the return Rome to LAX was nonstop.
  11. We were on the Christmas cruise with three suites. I had not received an invitation when we boarded so I quickly headed to the concierge who immediately called the 360 people and was able to squeeze in our 6 adults (another reason for a concierge?) I was told that they invited high rollers, and special circumstances besides suite guests. As far as 360 goes it was fabulous.
