Cool Cruiser

Cool Cruiser (2/15)

  1. Thanks BermudaBound2014! Please do point me in the right direction! I appreciate your response!
  2. We’ve been to HI many times on land trips, this will be our first cruise and I think I’m fixated on land based methods. Help me make this as easy as it should be 🙂 We will tender in Maui and dock in Kauai and we’d like to go to a beach at both. It would be great if the beach had chairs, facilities etc…. Ok, tell me how you like to do that from the port or dock? Yes, silly basic question but we haven’t been to HI in many years and I can’t visualize the process from a cruise ship. Thank you!
  3. Thank you Princeton123211. I do see other locations besides the airport but all seem to close early as in Honolulu. Online doesn’t appear to allow key drop off but I can certainly call and check. We’d really prefer not to go to airport every port day! I appreciate your help Right now we have cars reserved (at the airports) but it sure seems like it has the potential to be a hassle (smile). We’ve been to HI many, many times but never on a cruise so this is quite different planning. This time we will be with elderly people so need to just have transportation for the day and play it by ear.
  4. Thank you Damiross. We’re getting conflicting info as well.
  5. Thank you CruiserBruce, I read that first (smile). When I follow through on the suggestions, the ones I have looked at so far don’t work for us. For example, the car rental agency closest to the dock in Honolulu will close at 3:30 the day we are there we will want the car later.
  6. In July we will be on a Princess cruise rt LA to Hawaii. We’ve been to HI many times but never on a cruise so in each port we are just renting a car. I think all car rentals are at the airports. Two questions: 1. It feels like a hassle to go to the airport on each island to pick up the car. Is there a better way we’re missing? 2. Will there be taxis when we disembark or should be reserve one ahead of time to take us to the car rental? Or is there a better way to get to the car rental agency? Thanks!
  7. Yes, bars are open for sitting. I think there must be smoking somewhere in the casino since we smelled it.
  8. Thank you so much! @Essiesmom and @mtnesterz!! Wow, that’s an all time speed response time!!
  9. Hi lovely people, We’re onboard the Royal now - so great! Crew is great across the board! Everyone is masked (I say yeah!!). Embarkation was unbelievably easy! It’s the beginning of Day two so we haven’t been out and about much the ship does seem pretty empty. BUT, We need a workaround please? We’re on Deck 15 in a mini suite. At night motion sensitive under lights come on when we get up (nice so no stubbed toes) and the overhead light comes on in the closet area outside the bathroom is also comes on motion sensitive. Problem - these lights light up the cabin! Anyone know how to turn off the motion sensitive lights at night? Especially outside the bathroom? The sudden change in light wakes me up. And, since we are of a certain age - we do get up during the night 🙂 Thanks!
  10. I just called and tech support was the best yet - not fixed, but he said he hoped it would be before the cruise. He logged in as my husband saw that we didn't have QR codes and couldn't request an arrival group and agreed that we had problem (that acknowldegement is first in my series of calls) and put in a fix it ticket (also a first) so fingers crossed it is fixed. Otherwise we just show up and say let us on! 🙂. I also got throughto tech support right away. We're going with friends who haven't cruised in 30 years and really don't travel - so I want this to go smoothly for them! They are having the same QR code, boarding pass, arrival group problem as we are. Correct. Or if we want to change something, it would be good if we could do it ourselves with the App. The Tech added this problem to our ticket.
  11. We depart on the Royal, June 4, Alaska. Three questions: 1. Where will our boarding passes appear on the app? 2. When I try to select an arrival group, the following messages appears "Sorry Arrival Groups will be available closer to the start of your journey" App error or true? We're sightly over 2 weeks out 3. Any insights? I've spoken with Princess tech support and have reinstall the app several times now, for dinner reservations. I get the following error message "Sorry you are not currently able to make dinner reservations......... to access Dine my Way your vogage must be paid in full..... " I can assure all that we are paid in full. Our friends have made all of the dinner reservations for us so when I call Princess (each time) they seem confused b/c we have dinner reservations. Will this be a problem on board - I don't think it's going to be fixed. Thanks!
