Go Lounge question

[suekel]

For anyone who has been invited...How long before your cruise did you get invited?

 

thanks

We received a call 5 or 6 days before sailing and the email with the address about 2 days ahead.

For our Jan. 13th cruise, we received a phone call Jan. 9th and the follow-up email on Jan. 11th.  Word of warning though!  They called my phone first and I didn’t answer b/c I didn’t recognize the number. It did NOT ring up Princess Cruises and they did NOT leave a message!  They immediately called my husband’s phone and I saw it was the same number so I answered it. Thank goodness! It really was an awesome experience. Fingers crossed that you get the call!

We’re either of you able to book the Sanctuary prior to boarding?

We did not ask them to do that, we don't tend to use Sanctuary as DH cannot tolerate much sun at all. However, if you are in GO Lounge, they will have the onboard concierge do that before boarding begins (if you are there before boarding starts). The GO lounge opens about 8 am as I recall.

Yes! They booked a Sanctuary day for us - we only wanted one day. They also offered to make restaurant  and/or excursion reservations but we had already made those.  Suite manager Igor rode with us to the port and explained all the benefits we should expect with our suite and how to utilize them. He also invited us to take advantage of the Concierge Lounge and explained how they might assist us during the cruise.  Without a doubt, the best thing about the Go Lounge was the personal escort during both embarkation and debarkation!

Recent guests reported able to do that (I mean sometime this Winter season), but they did not have any say as to location.  That surprises me a bit since the concierge can communicate with the ship on this.  Obviously, a guest cannot see the paper map they use at the Sanctuary, but one could describe a fairly specific desired location if guest was already familiar with the general layout.

For me it was the day before

You can request sun or shade but that is it.  The message is relayed to the on-board concierge who then calls the Sanctuary to reserve the spot.  So if you have a bad concierge it may not happen.
