Just got the update for Brilliance 9/1 i haven’t been to Luganville since 2013 - hopefully they will have a blue lagoon or champagne bay excursion! and Noumea again…… almost managed to avoid it 😂

Thanks for all your replies! I had a light bulb moment and actually called princess this morning 😂 Boarding for non-high loyalty tier passengers is between 1-4pm. I’m guessing the bag drops would open at the usual time and I’m assuming it will be a long chaotic queue…. We will probably arrive at 12 to get to the start of the line.

Hi fellow cruisers! We are on the 3 nighter out of Sydney in a couple of weeks and I cannot figure out how to choose a boarding time or if it is even possible. Can you help me? Long time Royal cruiser and first time on Princess and I am finding the app a little frustrating…..

I’m in Australia so thanksgiving isn’t really a thing here. We have pumpkin scones but not quite the same experience I’m sure!

I pre purchased the 3 night dining package for our upcoming RCC cruise. Watched the prices and nabbed a 35% discount a couple of weeks ago. We usually book everything on board but this time I’m prebooking as much as possible due to the bad exchange rate…

You beat me to it! Good idea I think - I would be so annoyed if a voucher was used for a can of coke instead of a Mai tai 😄

Thanks for all your replies! Looks like I have lots of turkey and good desserts to look forward to. I hope they have pumpkin pie - I’ve always wanted to try it 😋

Hi everyone, we are sailing on Ovation on the 16th and I’ve just found out that thanksgiving is on the 24th! Is there anything special that happens on board? I’d love to hear what not to miss! 😊

We usually prefer Radiance sized ships but were shuffled to Ovation post covid. It will be an interesting experience and I’m sure the kids will have a lot of fun. I didn’t really like Voyager when she was here - the shopping mall thing in the middle of the ship was very claustrophobic - but the bigger Ovation looks like she has a lot of glass and natural light which is very important to me.

We are on the South Pacific 16/11. Watching the ship on the webcam as I type, I can’t wait! Looking forward to reading about your adventures in NZ 😀

Impossible from OPT unless they arrive earlier and leave later. Could be ok from port botany - dreaming of a cruise terminal here!

Hmmm not sure if being in a suite will help me jump this queue, maybe I should have gone with that royalup genie! Unless someone has a red carpet……..? 😂

That’s a great price!! We just got lucky with the constant rebooking - we were originally booked on Serenade for December 2020 and were shuffled around via Radiance and now Ovation. They emailed us a royalup for $1600 each to go for a grand loft but that’s waaaaay to much for an aft with no bath and a 380m walk to the solarium. The genie would have been nice though 😄….

Love that balcony on 12234 - we are in that cabin in a couple of weeks! Nice to get a preview 😀

We are on the 16th too 😀
