Live - Sky Princess - Norway Fjords - 11 June - 14 nights
Airwavey posted a topic in Princess Cruises,
My wife - Pip - and I are on our first ever cruise (though we are somewhat 'experienced' travellers since retirement 5/6 years ago, travelling, pre-covid, for up to 6 months total per year. And as a point of reference too we haven't put a bag into a plane hold all that time either, travelling with one 40 litre and one 30 litre rucksack with max weight of 10 kgs, so packing for this with proper luggage was an experience in itself)

LauraS,LIVE - Inside Passage - Ruby Princess - June 9 - 19, 2022
cruzin4us posted a topic in Princess Cruises,
We took Southwest from San Diego to San Francisco the day prior to sailing. Our flight was on time, and we had a beautiful flight up the coast of California. We caught an Uber from SFO to our hotel (Columbus Motor Inn) which is about 5 blocks give or take from Fisherman's Wharf and Pier 27. The Uber cost us $37.97 which we found to be fairly reasonable. I'm sure we could have found a cheaper ride, but we rode in comfort in a RAV4, so all is good.

LauraS,Live from Oasis 05.29.22
sadiwest posted a topic in Royal Caribbean International,
I must say I am very glad we ended up on Oasis. What an amazing ship and experience. Our 12yo dd literally tried everything from the zip line, to Flowrider, to the Ultimate Abyss, to every single water slide and ice skating. For the first time, we let her do her own thing on her own schedule, and I'd venture a guess this was her favorite vacation thus far. Until now, her only RCCL experience was Anthem; she loved the bumper cars. But Oasis pulled out in front.

graphicguy posted a topic in Norwegian Cruise Line,
It's my Birthday Month. So, as a present to me, I booked a Haven Spa Suite on the Getaway. This one is solo.
It's sailing from Orlando, going to Great Stirrup Cay, the Dominican and Puerto Rico. Been to all those ports, but it's been a while.

Happycrafter123 posted a topic in Norwegian Cruise Line,
We are two Canadians in late 40’s/mid 50’s and most of our vacations have been to all inclusive resorts in Caribbean so this European Baltic cruise is an experiment with something different.

CC Help Jenn,LIVE Virtuosa 13/5/22 7 nights Norwegian Fjords
kernow posted a topic in MSC Cruises,
We will be driving to Southampton tomorrow morning to board Virtuosa. We had originally booked Magnifica for a week in Feb but when omicron hit and some of those cruises were cancelled we decided to move the booking to this one on Virtuosa. We'd been on this ship last June and loved it and we've never done the Fjords before so very excited. After our upgrade to YC last year we've booked it again, originally a YIN but our bid was accepted and we now have a balcony.
Our ports are Haugesund, Hellesylt/Geiranger, Flaam and Stavanger plus 2 days at sea. We've booked the train independently for Flaam but will play the rest by ear.
Finishing off the packing today as we didn't want to do it before the tests and tempt fate. Also double checking that all the paperwork is printed off, am I the only one who finds all the pre cruise stuff so stressful now? Then it's counting down the hours until tomorrow.

LauraS,Live from Sky Princess 28 May
Eglesbrech posted a topic in Princess Cruises,
Beautiful sunny day in Southampton for embarkation.
Embarkation was really excellent, we were through check in and onboard by 11.30 from an 11am check in time (although I understand that those after 12 noon had a very long wait to get on). Luggage delivery was also prompt. The cabin is immaculate so all good there. We have arranged with the steward for a turndown service, it is now something you seem to need to ask for (last 2 cruises) but no problem with it being provided.

LauraS,Live from Pacific Explorer - 31st May - Australia is Cruising Again
arxcards posted a topic in Australia & New Zealand Cruisers,
We booked this cruise on 16th March, soon after it was announced, but it feels like it was a year ago. There was still a lot of "what ifs" around the covid protocols, but we just knew we wanted to be aboard. Two new apps were added to my phone, and it has been fun to navigate a new way of managing our booking. At this stage, we have a "Ready to Cruise" status on the app, and we just need to successfully negotiate our RATs and health survey on Monday to be considered as passengers on this cruise.

LauraS,Live with Celine from Grand Princess Alaska May 25th - June 8th
nunuc2000 posted a topic in Princess Cruises,
Hubby John and I will be boarding the Grand Princess in Vancouver tomorrow, as long as we procure a negative covid test this afternoon. I will do my best to stay in touch on here, answering questions and posting pictures as long as the wifi on board cooperates. We've been on many cruises with various lines over the years, but this will be our first Princess cruise in 10 years!
