Cool Cruiser

Cool Cruiser (2/15)

  1. We are staying in Buenos Aires for a few days before our cruise starts in February. We would need to buy a SUBE card in Buenos Aires. Would we be able to pay for it with our credit card on their machine? We are not planning to purchase any Argentinean currency before we arrive there. What is the best venue to exchange currency once we get there? We will also be in Chile during our cruise. Would most places accept U.S. cash as well? I have read some posts on Cruise Critics that they do. Just want to know if I should bring some Chilean currency there or just wait till I get there. We don't expect to spend a lot of money in Argentina or Chile, most of the excursions are already paid for. We just need a small amount of money for food here and there. Thank you in advance.
  2. We are going on a South America cruise with Sapphire Princess in February. We have booked some excursions with the ship. We are still looking for some excursions for Ushuaia and Punta Arenas. We are not that keen on the tours Princess is offering for these 2 ports. We are hoping to find a cruise that goes around the Beagle Channel in Ushuaia, or a tour that we can see more penguins. In Punta Arenas, we are looking for some local tour possibilities as well. If any folks have had a good experience with any tours with the local vendors, please share with us. Any other ports in South America you would like to share would be welcome as well. Thank you in advance.
  3. Hi Ken the cruiser, we really enjoy reading your post. We will be sailing with Sapphire Princess on February. Just wondering if you have any Princess Platter you can post here. We are trying to make our dining room reservation, and would like to get an idea of what the evening entertainment schedule is like. Is there any ballroom dancing scheduled in the evening? I believe the shows in the theatre is at 7:30 and 9:30? Thank you in advance.

  5. aprilsp88, could you please tell us if the recorded ballroom music is on everyday, and which lounge it is taking place in? I wonder why they wouldn't put it on the Patter. I am on anytime dining so I have to make reservation for the dining time. So I might have to select to dine earlier if we want to make it to the 7:30 ballroom hour. Thank you.
  6. We are sailing on the Sapphire Princess to South America in February. Just want to know if anyone has the daily programs they can post here. We are trying to book our dinner reservation, and are trying to decide if we should pick a time that is earlier or later. I have seen some previous Princess daily programs awhile ago, and I notice that on most days there is a ballroom dancing hour in one of the lounges. I believe that was held around 5 or 6 pm for an hour. I would also like to know if the shows in the theatre is at 7 and 9pm, or 7:30 and 9:30pm. We need to pick a dinner time that we can accommodate both activities if possible. So if anyone has sailed with Sapphire Princess recently, please post the daily programs if you still have them, they will help in our planning of our dinner schedule. Thank you in advance.
  7. "I would *think* that any requirements of this nature would be covered in your travel summary. " Hi Rick and Jeannie, Where in our travel summary might this information be included? Would that be after I have signed into my personalizer page? Thank you all for replying my post.
  8. We are sailing with Sapphire Princess on February. The countries we will visit on the Sapphire Princes are Argentina, Chile, Falkland Islands, Uruguay. We will not be going to Iguazo Falls. Would anyone know if Princess requires any vaccine certificate for Yellow Fever, or other vaccines to enter into these countries? We already have Covid 19 and Hepatitis A and B. Thank you in advance.

  10. Our cruise ends in Yokohama in the morning, our flight does not depart till 7pm. So we need to be at the Haneda airport by 4pm. We did a debark tour with the cruise ship last time, they took us to visit the Meiji shine and the Sensoji Temple before dropping us off at the airport. We don't really want to repeat the same debark tour this time. We would like to know if there are any private transfer companies who would pick us up at the cruise terminal when we leave the ship in the morning, take us to Tokyo or other spots in Yokohama for a tour of maybe 5 hours, and drop us off at the Haneda airport in late afternoon. Another plan is if we can lock our luggage up in the cruise terminal in Yokohama after we check out of the ship, do some sightseeing in Yokohama, and then find some form of transfer to the Haneda airport in the afternoon. Any suggestions are welcome. Thank you in advance.
  11. We will be sailing on the Sapphire Princess in February. Could you please tell us if there is any venues that we can do some ballroom dancing? Are there certain days that Princess offer a pre-recorded ballroom music dance hour in one of the lounges? If anyone can post some more of the daily programs, it would be very helpful. Thank you.
  12. I guess it is just something new to us. We have booked many many excursions before with local vendors, and no one has ever asked for passport numbers before. Speaking of ID theft, is passport number, and social security number usually something you don't want the wrong person to have?
