IrishLassie

This might be a silly question, but do you have to use Medallion?  I'm very confused about the whole thing!!!  LOL 

Following along & just watched you sail out of the port!  Have a great cruise & look forward to hearing more.  Will you be posting any pictures?  We sail on her in Nov. to the Panama Canal.  Can't wait.

Is Oasis coming back to Florida?

So happy, I was able to get our 2 cabins next to each other with no problem!  Love our online TA that I always book with, they are so helpful. 

Also, thanks to all of you for your info & help, I have never had to change anything so now I know it can be done. 

Happy cruising to all.

Where is Oasis going when all the repairs are done?  Also, is Allure or Harmony going to Port Canaveral?

If OP is working with a Travel Agent, he/she might assess change fees, but not from Princess

Thanks, but I don't think there is a charge from my TA as she said yesterday, no extra fees.

You should have no issue changing cabins if the one you want is still available.  We just did the exact same thing earlier this week.  Our friends were placed in the cabin to the right of us and the cabin to the left of us had a much larger balcony--same price.  They were moved over with no issue and no charge.

Thanks for the info.  I have already changed once but now I see there are 2 cabins together, so not sure if I can change again along with our friends??

Can you change your cabin, & how many times, without an extra charge, in the same category?  The reason I ask is that our agent put us in a different cabin on a different deck then what we were suppose to be in.  I think she just typed wrong!  (she's on vacation right now).  We had 2 cabins together with our friends & they got their's right but ours is wrong.  I did get it changed to the same deck, but now I see there are 2 together up one deck, so not sure if I can change again!  Little upset about this screw up!  We're all celebrating our 40th. anniversaries together so that's why we wanted to be nx to each other.  (sorry for rambling on!! LOL)

Our tips are a perk for us, so I'm not worried & we always give extra to our waiters & cabin steward.  RCI's rate is $14.50 so this is nothing new.

Thanks IrishLassie. We live in Galway. Donegal is amazing and we love to spend time there. I have fond memories of visiting Carrigart years ago. The beaches in that part if the country are among the most beautiful I've ever seen anywhere.

Oh, we've been to Galway many times & have stayed out at Salthill.  We always go to O'Connor's Pub out there (hint, could be related! LOL)  If you get up to Donegal again, go to Ramelton, on the way out to Carrigart & visit Conways Pub.

Enjoy your cruise & looking forward to the rest of your posts.

Enjoying your posts, and we loved Reflection.  Sailed on her last month & can't wait to go again!  Wondering where on the west coast your from?  My DH's family is from Co. Donegal, Carrigart & Letterkenny.

Happy cruising.

That's excellent well done! Glad I was able to help!! 🙂

Also, somehow it knew we were going to the Panama Canal & put the picture in.  I had chosen another picture, but it didn't show!  Was pleasantly surprised!

After a lot of experimentation(over an hour)  Ive succeeded. I did not have to edit any previous info I ahd done that previously to shorten the amount of info . I did have to delete  all previous countdown clocks current or sailed and then go to link https://www.cruisecritic.com/vbulletin/countdown.cfm

create my clock , copy it and then go straight to my account settings/ signature and paste it in and save. I was able to create three clocks and have them in the order of sailing. paste above or below your first clock as desired. This is the link that works.clocks do update if your refresh them you will see a lower time to sail. its just not a moving total as it used to be.I hope this helps people.

 

Thanks so much for this info.  I just did this & it worked !  So easy & will just keep checking to see that it's counting down.  YEA !!

Forgot to ask, will we pay less for the cruise since we would be getting off early & then just pay the extra $65. ?

Nope - up to you.

OK, thanks.  Might have to scale down on the luggage!  LOL

We disembarked in Crete and stayed 5 days soo much nicer than Barcelona again . Mariner repo from Singapore B2B , filled out a form and $65 USD each . 🙂

Does the cruise line help with your luggage etc. when you disembark early? 

Also, thanks to everyone for this info, really appreciate it.

Need specifics to answer as it could be governed under the PVSA.

 

Need embarkation and debarkation port and the port you want to leave at.

It would be on a TA from Tampa to Barcelona, but we would like to get off in Malaga as it's closer to our Grandson & his family that we are planning on visiting for a week or so. 

Has anyone disembarked at a port before your final destination & if so, what arrangements did you have to make with the cruise line?

Yes, they will normally allow that, but you have to get approval from the cruise line in advance.

Thanks so much for the info.  Will check it out.

Does anyone know if on the TA from Tampa to Barcelona if you can disembark at one of the other Spain ports?  The reason I ask is it would be closer to our grandkids for us to drive there to spend a week or two with them rather than having to travel from Barcelona down to Rota.  Thanks for any info.

Which Rota? Actually Rota is near Cadiz and it'll be more like 11-12 hrs to get there. The one in Catalonia is Cerra  De la Rota which is couple of hours by car.

It's the one near Cadiz, so I know it's a long way from Barcelona, so we may have to stay over night somewhere.

According to viamichelin.com this is a toll-free route https://www.viamichelin.co.uk/web/Routes?departure=Barcelona%2C%20Spain&arrival=Rota%2C%20Spain&index=0&vehicle=0&type=0&distance=km&currency=EUR&highway=false&toll=true&vignette=false&orc=false&crossing=false&caravan=false&shouldUseTraffic=false&withBreaks=false&break_frequency=7200&coffee_duration=1200&lunch_duration=3600&diner_duration=3600&night_duration=32400&car=hatchback&fuel=petrol&fuelCost=1.29&allowance=0&corridor=&departureDate=&arrivalDate=&fuelConsumption=

Their quickest route takes over an hour less but does use tolls at a charge of 47.05 Euros.

Thanks again.  Will check it out. 

Has anyone been in an OV deck 3 or 4 cat. 2N midship?  Wondering about the size of the window??

Yes , we live in Southern Spain (Andalucia).  Major roads in Spain are excellent and most of your journey would be by motorway.

I did see that there are "toll roads", would we have to use them to get to Rota?  Thanks so much for your help with this, really appreciate it.

This may help http://www.barcelonacruises.net/Resources/CarRental.aspx

Thanks so much for this info.  Are you in Spain?  If so, would you know how the roads are from Barcelona down to Rota, Spain?  We've never been to Spain so don't know what to expect!  Thanks again for any help.
