Thanks

So, I wrote to the Pan Pacific and asked....and guess what?

Thank you for your inquiry.  On the morning of your departure you can phone down to the bell desk and request a bellman to come and pick up your luggage from your room.  You will need to be present in your room when they come and collect your luggage as they will need to quickly inspect your luggage with you and you will need to let them know which cruise ship your luggage needs to be delivered to.  Please remember to keep all important documents with you - Wallet, Passport, Boarding Passes - as this will be the last time you see the luggage until you board the ship.  The luggage will be delivered directly to your stateroom by a member of the Cruise staff.

We our delighted to offer this service to you at no additional cost, however if you would like to offer a gratuity to the bellman they would be highly appreciative of this gesture.

If there is anything else we can assist you with please don't hesitate to ask.

Have a wonderful day.

Sounds like the way to go --

Do you trust your luggage enough to try this on 9/16?

I sure am considering it, seeing that my wife packs so many bags, I'll be glad to tip the Bellman graciously for their effort

We've done something similar when we took the Hawaii to Ensenada itinerary and CCL handled our luggage and we saw it again at the airport.  It was a little concerning, but we figured they must know what they're doing as any bad press on something that important would be devastating to their reputation ~ so we figure the same mindset for a hotel with a fine reputation such as the Pan Pacific.  Sure hope our theory pans out LOL

GETMEONASHIP;

Okay I'm willing to try it.

As Grandma used to say: "Take a chance; Columbus took a chance".

An aside question for you -

How did you get your CruiseClock & your icon appended to your posting profile??

Thanks again for the info. -- we'll see you in Vancouver

Phew, got another email from the PP and they cleared things up, so I am way more comfortable about things now.

 I think there's a link somewhere on this site to set up your countdown clock and you can set up the avatar (little pic by your id name by going to the profile link from your account at the top of the page.........hope that helps!

Are you also on the Cruise Critic Roll Call roster?  We have lossa folks there talking about excursions and stuff.....

Thanks again for the help - but it's official; I am a Techno-Idiot.

I fumbled around within the profile - I think I atleast was able to list all my previous cruises, but my AVATAR upload did not sem to take

I tried in .jpeg and .tiff formats??  & I'm still looking for the cruise countdown clock. 

I will have to check out the cruise critic site as well

(hopefully I will conquer the techno-challenges before we sail on 9/16)

Thanks again!

Nah, I doubt it!   I will be happy to help you with this next week, but right now I'm up to my ars in alligators and see daylight middle of next week!   Meanwhile, go over to Cruise Critic and look at the Roll Call for Carnival Spirit on the Sept 16 sailing.  If you have any problems tracking that down, let me know and I'll be glad to help you with that, too!   We have plenty of time, so no need to panic just yet :)

Oh, the avatar has to be relatively small I think........but again, I'll have much more time next week.

Well - I conquered everything except the cruise clock..

Thanks again for your help -

if you get some time next week, maybe you can walk me through adding the clock (I tried to apply a url link under "edit tags", but that did not seem to work)

C-Ya

GETMEONASHIP:

I got some help from RED on appending my cruise ticker.

Thanks again for all your help - now my profile is complete.

I still need to check out the cruise critic site, regarding this specific cruise

Do you have a link to that?

THANKS AGAIN!

My username over there is cruising forever and we have a Roll Call roster going if you'd like for me to add you and any info you care to share............it's all optional, of course, but has been nice to aid in getting to know one another.   We're on page 38 right now, but there's plenty of time if you care to go back and read everything to get up to speed.   Hope to C u there :)

Thank You I will check it out

Hey-GetMeOnACruieShip!

I have another question for you.  I've seen some postings refer to "Platinum Status" with Carnival.  Do you know what that is all about?  How do you qualify & what are the benefits?  Hopefully someone on this post-thread will have some information.

THANKS;

Here ya go!
