Cruising Cindy Lou

Thank you so much for the info. We rented a car in 2017 in Curacao and snorkeled at Playa Kalki and Playa Piskado. The turtles at Playa Piskado were amazing. We were there in April of 2017, we had Piskado to ourselves. In 2017 we rented a car in Bonaire as well, but my husband did shore diving so I only go to snorkel at Hilma Hook sight. The place we rented from no longer rents to cruisers, so we are getting a Golf Cart this time. I will add these sights to my list of must do's. We will have to go back again and take the ferry over to Klein. So much to do, and so little time, haha.

So give your secrets away, what are the best spots to snorkel in Curacao? And in Bonaire?

Y"all are the best!! I would have never found that. I was looking everywhere. I got it!!! $250 will come in real handy!!!

Quick question. I sent in the shareholders proof of ownership on June 7th. I automatically received back the "we are having high volume please allow 21 days". I have not heard anything back from them. Is there a place on the website or in the Princess app to see if OBC has been applied to your booking? If so, can you point me in the direction to locate this? We don't sail until Sept. Not sure I sent in too early? Planning to send in again this week if I can't confirm that we have the OBC applied. (First time sailing with Princess). Thanks, Cindy

We are actually doing a back to back and will be in Skagway twice. I had considered riding ferry over. Read ferry ride is very good. Was hoping something close to ferry to see or do. Maybe good hiking trail close by? I had read about Battery Point, but maybe hard to get out there? Not sure ferry would work for you with your port time.

You can buy on Fidelity. We have used Fidelity for a few years.

Can you tell me how to get to the Portage Pass Trail? Is it within walking distance of port or what is recommendation on how to best get to the trail?

Well Shucks. I can't get it to work. I get an Internal Server Error and says can not be displayed.

I have never been in concierge room before. Our next cruise we were assigned concierge. What benefits are there with this type of room booking?

We were on 7 day last week. Hubby went up on day 3. Was told he could pay $250 for whole week, wait until next day and pay $150 for last half cruise or pay $50 per day. Hope this helps.

In December on Edge they had a station open in OV that made Gyros to order one night and then another night they had these delicious India wraps made to order. Those 2 nights were the only nights I saw this station being used. I kept asking when they would have those wraps again. They could change up a station in OV that is made to order food and not have waste and make us NOT mdr people happy.

I have always used Shutterfly, but wondered about Mixbook. I have never heard of Blurb. I will have to check these out. So thank you!

I just learned about ordering off the kids menu on the last night of my last cruise. Was planning to try it out next month. Just my luck. The filet sounded perfect. I am like a kid, picky and don't care for a lot of the adult items. Haha.

You not weird. People are all different on what they like and dislike. I use to love the MDR, but they have really cut the menu way back. I noticed on our next cruise one night they have a shrimp plate, a fish plate and a lamb plate. I am not big on seafood and I don't eat cute little lambs, haha. So I am stuck with the classic menu. I noticed seafood and cuts of meat I don't eat are offered a lot thru out the cruise. Not Celebrity's fault I am so picky, so I didn't complain, I just went to OV so I could pick out things that I like. But this option is being taken away.

That is how we felt on Edge in December. The food in MDR was not that great. So we just choose to go to buffet most nights. Sounds like my cruise next month may be more disappointing if OV is cut way back.
