Loonbeam Posted January 9, 2013 #1 Share Posted January 9, 2013 Only 3 topics so far, but people are welcome to use them as needed with proper credit (please link to the relevant article even if you cut and paste). I'll add more topics as time permits, trying to keep to the most commonly asked items. I'm only posting items where I have been able to personally confirm something from corporate when in question, or I can document via other means. http://www.loonbeam.com/PrincessFAQ/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cruisin' Chick Posted January 10, 2013 #5 Share Posted January 10, 2013 Excellent descriptions. I imagine if those who are new to Princess would read your FAQs first, there wouldn't be the need for so many threads here.:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2little time Posted January 10, 2013 #10 Share Posted January 10, 2013 Could you please put menus on one of your FAQ? Room Service menu etc. No one seems to ever be able to find them. This has been needed for a long time. Thanks again.:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pablo222 Posted January 10, 2013 #11 Share Posted January 10, 2013 Only 3 topics so far, but people are welcome to use them as needed with proper credit Additional suggestions: How do I connect my i.phone / i.pad; is there a charge? What is the coffee card? How much does it cost? What is the coke sticker? How much does it cost? What is BVE? How do I sign up for the sanctuary? How do I sign up for the chef's table? If I post something negative, will I subsequently be insulted? Ooops, sorry -- that last one is obvious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loonbeam Posted January 10, 2013 Author #12 Share Posted January 10, 2013 That makes sense, if anyone has a good high quality scan in either JPG or PDF , please mail it to panamacanal@pamandjeff.net and I will try to add it.

Loonbeam Posted January 10, 2013 Author #13 Share Posted January 10, 2013 Most of these are on the radar, but I'm not going to put costs because I have to worry about maintaining them. When possible I'll link to a pricing source. Additional suggestions: How do I connect my i.phone / i.pad; is there a charge? What is the coffee card? How much does it cost? What is the coke sticker?

Loonbeam Posted January 29, 2013 Author #19 Share Posted January 29, 2013 Added a post on Food Allergies and dietary needs. Since I don't use this particular process, I'd appreciate if a few people could review to make sure I have it correct. Also updated Wine Onboard to indicate changes in the luggage tag thread.

Loonbeam Posted June 22, 2013 Author #22 Share Posted June 22, 2013 I wont make this a Princess FAQ because it varies based on individual priorities and booking terms. Booking early gives you the best choice of cabins, and in most cases your rate can be adjusted if the price drops before final payment. Air travel is often more reasonable too. That said, if you are not too picky about cabins and excursions, and don't need to worry about flights or time off from work, a last minute cruise may represent huge savings. I might do one on pricing models and yield management tho. Since Princess doesn't let me link it in my signature so people can FIND it, I haven't been as busy at updating it.
