My experience has been not being notified. If the cruise is cancelled then your reservation goes with it. You can check on https://www.princess.com/plan/impacted-and-cancelled-cruises/ to see if your sailing was cancelled. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ombud Posted June 1, 2021 #54 Share Posted June 1, 2021 Interesting experience. I notified Diana Hall that I was changing from GBR cruise December 2021 to Caribbean & Panama cruise December 2021 as Australia is closed to us Yankees. The GBR M&G was then cancelled (I was the contact). So if backing off a cruise people might want to let the others know to contact grouponboardservices@princesscruises.com if still interested in a M&G Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ombud Posted July 16, 2021 #58 Share Posted July 16, 2021 (edited) Lately I've been getting responses from: Pam Dyachenko Supervisor, Group Onboard Services PRINCESS CRUISES 24305 Town Center Drive Valencia, CA 91355 Direct: (661) 284-4465 pdyachenko@princesscruises.com Instead of Diana Hall .... hoping she's just on a much deserved vacation after 2 of them handling everything for a year.

I contact Pam periodically to try to keep the contact list up to date and 3 days ago she said the best e-mail address to use is grouponboardservices@princesscruises.com. She is hoping to hire more coordinators soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think they handle the requests as a team and if you send a request on one of them and she isn't available it is possible the request won't be handled as quickly.

trbarton Posted August 4, 2021 #62 Share Posted August 4, 2021 FYI…I have also been hearing from Pam. Remember that Princess uses the term “Meet & Greet” M&G. Other cruise lines use the term “Meet & Mingle” M&M. Tom😎 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am going to a Meet & Mingle if you don't like the term go to a Meet & Greet. In the scheme of things again what does it really matter. Not going to debate like I said call it what you want and I will as well. I have hosted so many over the years people can call it how they see fit.................... BTW Diana Hall and I speak all the time and she also calls it a M&M. I am doing the one on the Dec 22nd cruise. I don;t do mine the way the others do. I do them really cool and have already spent over $400 to make it so cool. Kathy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No she is ALSO in charge of the Meet & Mingle's at Princess. Why don;t you try hosting one and see how much you know, who and what you think you know. Oh wait maybe you haven;t been to other cruise lines to know what they are................I am sorry perish the thought that you are only a Princess cruiser. There is a whole other world out there.

I have been to about 45 Meet & Mingles on other lines and about 25 Meet & Greets on Princess some of which I organized. Besides, why would we want to call the event the same thing as other lines? I guess the bottom line is like rabin1 said she can go to a Meet & Mingle and we can go to a Meet & Greet and we will be at the same place. Anyway, the sign Princess puts up at the venue says something like "Cruise Critics Meeting". Like Thrak said "Try to enjoy yourself and not be so uptight. Try to have a little fun in your life."

I believe you will find they are called Meet & Mingle on Royal Caribbean Cruise Line ships (Royal Caribbean International, Celebrity, etc.). I saw a chart somewhere showing the event name by cruise line. If I run across it again I will post the link. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am Diamond Plus on RCCL and only Elite on Princess. I said before anyone can call it what they want as long as they enjoy themselves and have fun meeting others. To me it will always be when I host one a Meet & Mingle.................lol Kathy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know I read earlier that some of you are taking a Princess transfer from the airport . Has anyone done this from LHR before ? Our specific question is : we are considering coming in the day before, staying at an airport hotel, and joining the Princess transfer at the airport pick up point . Will that work ?
