I talked to my TA  again she then followed up with Princess. She has told that the agent was mistaken and now they have said I will get the 25% bonus. This is why I always deal with a Travel agent. It costs no more and you get a person that will back you and be there is you need assistance and does not work for the line's 

Take your 25% My cruise which was not due to sail until Aug 4 2020. I have paid full for the cruise and half of ez air. There offer FCC cost of cruise, and cash back, sounds good but adding the two together works out to exactly what I have deported. Gee this makes me so happy with princess I am an at 15 crusies with them over 150 days crusing, and not a penny great customer service.

Are people aware that if airline flights are delayed or canceled due to weather that the airline has no responsibility to put you up in a hotel or vouchers for meals?  While it's annoying I understand.

Your right but waking and looking out your window and seeing the white cliffs of Dover when your expecting to see the Shetland island is anoying but your right you can not hold your safety to blame, it would have been nice to have been told.

I had something similar happen a few years ago. We were on a cruise that was going from Copenhagen, two stops in Norway,  Bergen  and Flam, then off to Shetland island, invergordn,Dublin, Belfast,  Cornwall and Denver. Due to a storm in the north sea we went from Bergen to Deblen via english channel. This was done with no written or verbal announcement I was heartbroken because my heritage is Scottish and was unable to set foot on home soil. We were giving a refund for our tours, THAT WAS ALL no credit for next cruise or anything else. When I wrote to the company after we got home, the reply is that reimbursement are not and will not be offered. Oh by the way I was on Marina. That was before Norwegan bought Oceania.this was in Sept.2012. 

can you choose  to exchange mini bar for soda plus more instead?

My wife brought 24 cans of diet pop, we checked with princess to make sure I was told no problem but should be in carry on. Do not put in luggage unless you want to do laundry when you get on board trust me, had to do this once but never again.

I keep hearing about this dirty banana as a avid banana lover what exact is it?

When I watched as they made it. 1 squirt hershey chocolate syrup into goblet. 2 in blender bowl ad half a banana more hershey syrup then ice then blend and pour into goblet. it almost seems they put in ice cream but I never saw them do that I Just think it is so blended it appears to be.

Strawberries on Fire is GREAT was on a back to back on Golden princess Alaska cruise and had saw this listed and tried it it has a kick without the booze, but every bartender does it different it is supposed to be a little strawberry juice and fresh strawberries and jalapeno pepper muddled in a glass then add ice and shake strain into tall glass add ice and soda shot of soda in shaker added to glass to get all the flavor, not for the week stomach, may want to follow it with a dirty banana

are the TOTO seats in all cabins or only some, I have a standard wash seat at home even with only cold water feel much better, cleaner (FYI) COSTCO CARRY THESE TYPE OF SEATS.

Is the Japanese bath a part of the free part of the ship or do you have to pay like sanctuary?

Yes...the first time I got the "unlimited sodas & more" card I thought I was limited to the mocktails listed on the bar menu (none of which were appealing to me)...but you can get any drink's "virgin" variety....I can taste the pina colada now:)

Do you think that kind of card is available on Norwegian?

whatever can be made with alcohol and be made without.

beer?

Yes all Cruise ships have plans for armed incursions. be it fire hoses and sound guns, or arms in a locker beside the tender port bays. I am pretty sure they are prepared. I have not heard about many incidents. As far as people brining them onboard they X-ray all bags before loading and carry on as well.

In regards to Cabo What I was concerned about was why was there a necessity to have them there. And YES I would be afraid if a USCG Gun ship came charging up with guns manned!

I like the door card as compared to MD as it gets me up and moving. I guess if I asked someone from a suite for their door card would you think they would fill it?

I made a request on the Oceania site about this and got the answer if you don't have outside balcony or above then you only get cold items. I know on Princess that for inside or ocean view the hot item was an egg McMuffin like item. how about balcony and above.

I hope there is a few days between hand back to Princess till the cruise I am on in November. As I mentioned on our roll call the number one smoking country is China. To be politically correct I can not say that many that I know follow there own rules.

I just booked princess air for my cruise this fall. I am flying from Vancouver to Beijing and Singapore to Vancouver for $632.00 return per person. I believe that is quite cheap.

I am sorry that I came off as an ass What I was trying to find out was the difference between cruise lines not staterooms. I have been cruising for a little over ten years now and have seen a decline in the little extras. I usually travel in an inside cabin unless there is going to be great chances to see that special something I am going on my fifty Alaskan cruise so I have chosen and inside cabin for this one and a balcony for when I do Asia in the winter. When I have traveled in the last two years the card breakfast was an egg McMuffin when before that you could get an omelet or other hot Items of course this was on a different line hence the question.

Thank You all for the answers.

I guess people are made of money but cannot read. The question was do you know what is offered on the door order form as hot item for breakfast. NotI I can get anything on the menu because I have lot of money an can afford a great suite, I would love to have a balcony, but have decided to enjoy 3 cruises this year.

Thank You, No I am only in an inside stateroom.

I have noticed that the card you put on door handle to order breakfast has been reduced to almost nothing is this the same on Regata on Princess and Holland the hot item is an egg McMuffin like.

I have been on Pacific and am going to be on Regatta at the end of May. Regatta no formal nights pacific 3 formal nights, Regatta all inclusive flight . gratuities, non alcoholic beverages, all included Pacific not so much, Regatta price lots, Pacific not so much.
