Hello everyone,

Quick question on passports, I know there is an answer somewhere on CC, but thought this would be quicker.

I am taking a cruise/tour to Alaska in September, passport expires Jan 2016, is this okay?

I read somewhere about a 6 month time left on passport when completing a cruise, but TA says it will be okay.

Just thought I would check with the experts on CC.

Thank you in advance.

I would renew anyhow, not like its hard or takes long. They take on the extra monhs anyhow, then you dont have to worry for 10 years

In Vancouver they don't even see your passport until your thru US Customs and Immigration. They only use the passport to confirm identification.

You havd to fill in passport information for your booking expiry and all

Princess ships they ask for your card as soon as you sit down, regardless if you buy in new chips, or already have some.

You will notice that the pit bosses are always checking the computer terminal, are playing with a tablet. What they are doing is checking and updating what you are doing. They have stats from how long you have been sitting there, how many squares you are playing, and the amount you are betting.

The will introduce you to the casino hostess if you don't already know them.

What you need to do to be rated better than your actual level of play is simple, very similar to the land based casinos.

Princess based cruises, if you get noticed by the host, they will offer you anything to keep you there.

I was offered drinks for me and my companion all night, they sent gifts to the room, they booked me in the Crown Grille on a night that was fully booked (free).

Best of all they will send you a letter that will give you $$$ if you book another cruise within 30 days of the letter.

Best yet, they can offer you a free cruise if your play is high enough.

doe anyone have a copy of the latest princes VIP casino offer that expired on May 31?

Well, we'll be in a standard balcony room that looks pretty, uh, "sweet"... Maybe some Planters' nuts will be on the house. ;) Hmm, I wonder what deals or discounts the other cruisers on the board were talking about... Oh well. Never hurts to ask, huh?

Peanuts will be probably $8

Discounts at the spa first day

call the dine line when you get onboard

Casino account will be linked to your cruise card, it will keep track of the money you have left, to cash it go to the cashier and they will withdraw it for you.

I have a pentax w80 and a Nikon Coolpix AW130, both work well.

I have used both at over 60' underwater without problems.

from pentax w80 at 60'

The ship doesnt just go in and out, it will do a full 360 when in position, sometimes the privacy of a balcony is much more than jockeying for position on deck.

Unlike the panama canal, but you get the full 360 degrees when it turns around anyhow

Table games you can charge to your card also with no fees

C752 C753 are nice locations

Only harassment I find are the ships photagraphers, on the gangway, and entrances to dinner in costumes, I don't mind a nice portrait, but dont bother us when we are eating. And they don't take no for an answer there sometimes, I actually had to complain to my head waiter last cruise to get her to leave.

All the casino offered me was 525usd on any or all of their 8 casino cruises

Could also be passenger not vacating their rooms by 8am also.

Not like that never happends :eek:

Is there a limit you can add to a casino account? Limit to daily withdrawal?

I thimk there was a daily withdrawal limit of $3000 unless you get special permision, unlimited amount you can add or purchase

Little hard when it doesnt get in port until the day of embarkation

I call baloney

They still accumilate points, just not perks until 18

The 10 or 20% depends if the CAD price ends in 80 or 90 cents, not when you book it.

Dealer hits on soft 17

If it were true the wait time would be outrageous. :D

I would book a suite just to watch all the card waving and fighting

As long as you dont puke on the medical officers shoes, I think you will be ok

Even if you use cough syrup & meds, you are still lying on the form anyhow.

Just fill it out correctly, the worst that will happen is someone from medical will assess the situation.

What they are looking for is someone that has GI or something similar, a quick temperature taken will clear her, small delay at worst. As Noro is their main concern, and that lasts for days not weeks.

Water shoes are always recommended

Listen to the locals.

Also if its an easter cruise, the airport will be busy over the break, adding more delays

Book online in advance and save more than any coupon anyways.
