Princess Captains Circle
in [Cruise Ship]

From: joker3304 on 8 Feb 2007 22:31 I know there was an earlier thread about the cutback in the internet access for Platinum and Elite members, but I did not see any suggestions to let Princess know about our dissatisfaction with their arbitrary decision. I am an elite member who does use the internet and having been on many cruises where the internet access was exceedingly slow, or worse where it "froze" and you could not log off, the credit is small. The pursers attitude was that you would automatically be logged off in about an hour. When you are charged by the minute, your credit gets used fast. Also, we are taking a 16 day cruise through the canal in late april. A 7 day cruise has a credit of $75.00, a 16 day cruise has a credit of $100 for 9 addtional days. Hardly equitable, especially since I was promised this perk when I signed up for the cruise. I certainly will consider it seriously when I cruise next to South America. I think people need to express their concerns directly to Princess, Mr. Peter Radcliffe, President Princess Cruises 24844 Avenue Rockefeller Santa Clarita, CA 91355 cc: Joanna Crayon, Director Captain's Circle A benefit that was designed to build loyalty does not achieve the goal when it is arbitrarily removed.

From: Jr. on 9 Feb 2007 09:58 I guess I just don't get the importance of using the internet on a cruise. I leave my work and computer home and don't go near the internet or my cell phone for the whole 10 day cruise. After all, it IS vacation.

From: www.ttdown.com on 9 Feb 2007 10:13 I can cruise RCCL anytime. It isn't that they offer free internet access, it's that my reason for loyalty to Princess doesn't exist any more - they certainly are not loyal to me.
