Princess News & General Princess Chatter / Princess has been increasingly vying for a slice of the luxury cruiser pie
« on: May 06, 2024, 12:15:51 PM »
"The cruise line says guests who book its 2026 world cruise early (that is, by the end of October) will receive its most inclusive Princess Premier package for free. The perk — launched two years ago — covers amenities that typically have a fee, like WiFi, premium drinks, some specialty restaurants, and workout classes.

Travelers who reserve one of the ship's high-end cabins by the same deadline would also receive complimentary airport transfers and airfare, services normally exclusively offered by luxury cruise lines."

Princess News & General Princess Chatter / V.P. of Princess Sales says "we will never leave travel partners"
« on: May 06, 2024, 12:06:12 PM »
"Roig compares the fear of A.I. that some advisors have to the fear that advisors often have that cruise lines plans to cut out the trade and only take direct bookings. In her mind, neither are a real threat.

"We will never leave travel partners. There is such a value to our distribution channel, that experience and expertise… Same thing with A.I."

« on: May 04, 2024, 04:46:42 PM »
"I expected to find the usual list of banned items, including drugs, weapons, candles, irons and hot plates. Much to my surprise, though, the only things listed were chemicals — including chemicals found in the sunscreens and cosmetics I planned to pack."

Cruising Tips Chatter / Cruise kids clubs
« on: May 04, 2024, 02:31:58 PM »
"Cruise kids clubs are a combination of daycare, camp and a super-cool clubhouse. Families can drop off their kids and teens for as little as an hour to as long as nearly a full day for supervised play with other cruisers their age. The spaces for kids on a cruise ship are often clustered together, though tween and teen clubs might be separate."

Princess News & General Princess Chatter / Princess Plus limit of two specialty dinners angers long cruise passenger
« on: May 03, 2024, 10:11:40 AM »
"Susain Andruskin has booked the Princess Plus package on her world cruise for 2025. But it gets her just two casual dining meals in 113 days.

“We have booked the 2025 world cruise with the Plus Package, it’s 113 days, yet still only two casual dining meals, how fair is that? Surely it should be at least per sector?”

What’s making her angry is that someone booking a short cruise gets exactly the same."

Sun Princess Chatter / Old timers can stream Netflix on the Sun Princess
« on: May 02, 2024, 03:10:08 PM »
"Thankfully, the Sun Princess is equipped with Elon Musk’s magical internet and this enabled us to join video meetings but also upload to social media, stream Netflix and more; this was a pleasant surprise. While the younger generation gets a lot of stick for being glued to their phones, a quick look around the ship showed that even the older generation loved the enhanced connectivity with phones and tablets in hand everywhere. Whether for solitaire or scrolling, it’s a welcomed addition."
