  1. That what I did last time.But we going again in October but this time I'm going to book an excurision.
  2. Is that the Discovery Princess cruise. That be released for awhile now. Not surprised its sold out (but you could waitlist or keep watching the site to see if any cabins come up). Its repo from Alaska down to Australia so lot of people would have booked on it. Especially Australians/NZ as its a one of Princess newer a ships for us 😄
  3. Well if she adamant let her try if you think you get a better deal. Remember booking through US agent you have to add taxes to it plus your Gratuities are not included in the fare like they are if you book within Australia. Also factor in the exchange rate as she do the booking in US dollars.
  4. Not permitted for Australians/NZ to book with overseas agent unless they have done it in the past. This rule have been around for over a decade. Its to protect the local travel agent market. I would suggest that your Australians friends book directly with Princess and then watch out for any price drops which they can get adjusted up until final payment. Certain cruises in Australia sell out very quickly.
  5. Princess is very good at assisting at the port if you haven't managed to complete everything online. Just ensure they have printouts of all their paperwork including insurance (If required) and any travel documentation like passport or drivers license (depending on where they cruising).
  6. Yes thanks for pointing that out. However, checking Princess site there nothing showing for Coral for November 2025 to April 2026. Maybe all will be revealed by the end of the month.
  7. Not Coral the Princess ship. Coral the person on this site with that username.
  8. This is the information i read on another site. 2025-2026 Asia season will go on sale Mar 28 to the general public (Mar 27 for Elite Captain’s Circle® Members, an exclusive early booking window). In addition, princess will have also added 11 more voyages, ranging 9 to 22 days, roundtrip Tokyo, to the 2025 Japan season. My PVP in Australia confirmed that they were coming too. But I haven't received any email or anything about the itineraries and its like 8 days away (because its the 19 March 2024 here). I'm hoping Coral has all the information.
  9. I was a teenager in the 80s in NZ. And I can remember that it was a area of the hairspray can. Not that I used hairspray much as I hated the way it felt on my hair. Anyway, good that the layer has improved. I wish they would take the plastic issue seriously.
  10. I've heard plenty of lectures over the decades from elites telling us we must do this for the environment and all the while they preaching they doing the exact opposite. Back in the 80s it was don't use aersol cans because of the ozzone layer. Still today aersol cans are still easily purchased. Like the Green Bag when it came in I thought it was a great idea. But then no one would mandate it and so it slipped back to plastic bags and then supermakets began wrapping everything in plastic and still do today. So they moved to paper bags. But hey didn't they only a couple of decades ago ban paper bags. Go figure. Do I believe we should be doing more for the environment Yes. Do I take note of Elites or activists preaching about the environment. No.
  11. They should be going for smaller ships not larger ones.
  12. Your sister would get a more accurate cost price if she looks up on the website at her end or in her booking to what it would cost to upgrade.
  13. They not going to give offers to people who don't spend onboard. They want you to be loyal and spend on board 😄
