KeithnRita Posted June 29, 2006 Report Share Posted June 29, 2006 We started a roll call for our Princess cruise a few months ago on the site that we only visit for that reason. At the present time we have about 50 folks in our group and we plan on meeting at the sail away. One of our group contacted Princess for a ship sponsored get together and the following price list was emailed to her: My only comment was: Since toilet paper is not on the list, does that mean we have to provide our own?

sailingrose Posted June 29, 2006 Report Share Posted June 29, 2006 I saw that.......pretty tacky IMHO. If a group wants to get together why can't they just provide coffee, water, ice tea. It's free throughout the ship. You don't really need anything else just a place to meet. We'll be doing our own get together on Princess.

TheSkipper Posted June 30, 2006 Report Share Posted June 30, 2006 Welcome to the real world guys. Just got off the Coral Princess and we had around 70 CC'ers in board and some of them pleaded with Princess for months. No go. We had our gathering and bought our own drinks, no big deal. Same thing on our upcoming Crown Princess cruise over 175 in the group and nothing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zebra Posted June 30, 2006 Report Share Posted June 30, 2006 Oh my goodness.... unbelievable!!!! I love Princess - but who would have thought? The best catered party we've had was with RCCL - so many appetizers & canapes - NO CHARGE!!!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeyandDavid Posted June 30, 2006 Report Share Posted June 30, 2006 I was thinking of asking Celebrity to throw a party for crusie crazies...roll call Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GottaCruz Posted June 30, 2006 Report Share Posted June 30, 2006 You know what I think of it, Keith and Rita? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hazelson Posted June 30, 2006 Report Share Posted June 30, 2006 That's ridiculous - they are charging for otherwise "free" stuff. Didn't think much of Princess when we went on the Sapphire - now my opinion is even lower. Guess the don't realize cruise boards actually keep people interested in cruising.
