Princess News & General Princess Chatter / Plus size cruising on Princess
« Last post by Host Mike on May 20, 2024, 07:48:48 PM »"Princess Cruises spokesperson Briana Latter said the line "strives to accommodate all guests’ individual needs to ensure they are comfortable" during their sailing. "If there is something a guest requires pre-cruise, our Customer Support team is available to assist," she said in an email.
Latter said aisle seats in the Princess Theater do not have armrests "to allow for more space," and passengers can ask for a chair without armrests while dining."

Caribbean Princess Chatter / Street protest against Caribbean Princess shuttle buses
« Last post by Host Mike on May 20, 2024, 03:47:24 PM »"Yesterday, a small group of residents gathered with signs near the roundabout - to make their cause heard and to 'keep up the pressure'."
"It was timed to coincide with the arrival of The Caribbean Princess cruise ship. Buses arrived all morning dropping passengers from the 3,600-passenger liner off into Weymouth.
A police officer and a port police officer were present at the protest, which saw around a dozen people take part. Several tourists briefly stopped to chat to them.
Resident Marc Moore said: "The road is not big enough for the traffic that is coming here. It rattles our house. It literally rattles the glasses sitting on the shelf."

Princess News & General Princess Chatter / Re: I tried Princess Cruise's premier package (Your mileage may vary)

« Last post by obendus on May 20, 2024, 10:13:51 AM »These packages, just like the 'bid for upgrade' program for cabins are NOT designed to serve passengers. Rather they skew the profitability index of each sailing passenger in terms of revenue pp. I wonder who in the echelons of Princess figured out the 15 drink per day, and internet packages.

She must be paid off by Carnival to give such a write-up.
2 drinks a day.
Since when has "Crew appreciation" become mandatory? I've never heard someone post that before. Maybe it's Princess's new slant on gratuities.
Keep saying it long and loud enough and it becomes fact.

« Last post by Host Mike on May 20, 2024, 09:50:54 AM »"I hate the wallet-wrenching surprise of that final invoice, filled with a few more drinks than I remember ordering, the WiFi I couldn't live without, and the specialty dining restaurants I splurged on.
But all that changed the moment I discovered the Premier Cruises' Premier Princess package on Princess Cruises during a family vacation on the Regal Princess in December."

I tried to post a link on Cruise Critic to tell others about it but they squashed the post before it even appeared. :'(
