AlwayzCruising

When are you going? We have 2 days in Cabo and I’m really wanting to do the pirate ship that goes out whale watching. We did it a few years ago and loved it!

We just boarded on Sunday and the lines to get on took almost an hour and a half to get in to the building before we get to security. Then another 30-45 minutes once inside to get through the security line and luckily, we were green lane, cause the blue lane was probably another good hour to two before even getting their medallions and on the ship. Once we got past security and walked past all the blue lane people, the green lane took maybe 10 minutes before we were walking the 10 minute maze to get on the ship… I’m worried about what disembarkation is going to look like next Sunday. We were told that they were NOT using the facial recognition due to there being fake passports on previous cruise… I don’t know how true that is… they also, from what I heard, locked the doors at 2:30 and if you weren’t already in line and inside the building, they wouldn’t let you in… we ended up leaving an hour late… the internet did not work at all the first night once we got out in to international waters. I went and spoke with guest services and they said that there was some kind of block on the internet and they had to restart to router and everyone should be getting internet in the next 20-40 minutes (that was around 9 pm…) I still didn’t have internet when I went to bed around 11:30. But, the next morning I did … also, without connecting to the medallion net network, I was unable to load the app to even see what was going on and where. Couldn’t order a drink… nothing … they are working out some other kinks. I have seen posts of people saying that they would order on the app an 2 hours later they still didn’t have their food or drink. .. I sure hope it gets better as time goes on!!

Can anyone tell me if any of the pools on the Crown are handicap accessible? Is there a lift to help one get in to and out of the pool, if need be.. Thanks

Yes. I know we can order one to have the whole cruise, however, it’s only needed for boarding and debarking, as they can walk a little ways. Just need help to get up the ramp and on to the ship!!! I know in Long Beach, you can get some of the workers to help on Carnival, I just wanted to make sure that was the case in San Fran on Princess!!!

Thank you for this information!!!

We are going out of San Francisco in October… does anyone know how to obtain a wheelchair for embarkation while going through the lines and up the ramp? It won’t be needed while onboard but during embarkation and debarkation, it would be helpful…

Can anyone tell me if the Family Room Suites on the Crown Princess are accessible in any way? Thanks

Does the website have the option to book on there? Or do we need to call them. And how far in advance do they take reservations? We don’t go until next June, but want to get something now so I can be done with that part of things!!!
