This morning we checked the Princess Personalizer and there it was. Yes, we finally have a stateroom assignment. Our original booking was for a Category BD Balcony Guarantee, basically anywhere on the ship in that particular category. So, to our surprise, we received a Category BC on a higher deck and a good location. We are now assigned to stateroom 7102 which is on the port side just 6 staterooms from the aft of the ship, our favorite location. Well, as we continued looking at the Princess Personalizer this morning we got our second surprise. On our extension of the World Cruise to the Holy Land we originally had a Category BF Balcony Guarantee. But, Princess surprised us again and assigned us to 7102 for this cruise. So, now we won't have to move between these two cruises. This will really make things much more enjoyable and we will be able to enjoy "turn-around day" in Venice instead of packing up to move to a new stateroom.
Thanks to Princess Cruises for giving us an excellent stateroom and understanding that moving between cruises isn't fun. We really appreciate this nice gesture!!!
Yesterday we received an email from China Visa Service saying that they had received our visa paperwork on Monday and had begun the processing. Hopefully our applications will get processed quickly and our passports will be back to us soon.
This morning we are down to 58 days until embarkation at Port Everglades and Sail-Away.
