We display a downlaoded Cruise Critic Door Sign, using a flat sheet magnet. Works great.

Where did you find the CC door sign ?

Thanks everyone !

No worries about my using tape. We've been on many Disney cruises where we decorate the doors and tape is never allowed ! I completely understand :)

I like to put something simple on my door to help identify it. Is this allowed ? I haven't cruised on Princess in several years. :confused:

What's your favorite thing to get at the International Cafe ?

Very impressive !

I would agree with adding private tours :)

We don't want that or it will end up like the sanctuary. :(

OOPS ! Sorry !

I will be making reservations for our group, in person, embarkation day.

Wish you could make them online prior to the cruise like you can on RCCL and Disney.

Not a huge crowd ... but I've booked a table for 10 at Crown Grill by just calling DineLine. Once there, each couple was given separate bills for dinner and what they ordered to drink. Easy ... no problems. :)

Thanks LuLu

Thanks, Pam. I knew I could count on you for the answer :)

Several of us on our roll call want to get a group together for dinner at the Crown Grill. We will be on the British Isle cruise. Who do we contact about this ?

How many can they accommodate ?

Thanks in advance :)

I believe the only transfer with Princess from London to Southampton ( besides LHR ) is from Victoria Coach Station. It's a 2 hour ride and leaves at noon.

But always check with Princess. Each cruise could be different.

Thanks, Pam ! You are the "EF Hutton" of Cruise Critic :)

When you speak everyone listens :)

You should write a book !

Gina

Thanks everyone !

Thanks ! Hadn't thought of that.

Where do you find the purex sheets ?

We have private tours with others on our roll call in most ports. Our cruise includes the Tattoo in Edinburgh, but it's from the Glasgow port. We're doing that one through Princess. My husband is golfing in Glasgow/Greenock and at St. Andrews while in Edinburgh. From which port are you going to Liverpool?

We actually dock in Liverpool.

Bring your own quarters, and soap if possible.

 

I Followed a blog that was recommended by other cruisers on here and

the blogger posted many times about having laundry, mostly T shirts, sent back with little holes in it. They use an industrial washer on the ship so that was thought to be the cause of the holes.

Thanks ! Guess I'll bring some quarters & detergent :)

I will take notes and report back early June. To give you a heads up, here are some of our plans :

London, 2 nights prior to British Isle Cruise, Princess Ruby

Hotel - Park Plaza, County Hall

Princess transfer to Southampton from Victoria Coach Station

LeHavre- CC Roll Call private tour to Giverny ,Monet's home & gardens and Rouen ( Joan of Arc, medieval town )

Edinburgh- DIY , Royal Mile... Edinburgh Castle, Peoples Museum, Holyrood, St Margaret's Close

Invergordon - WOW Scotland tour, Cawder Castle, Inverness, sheep dogs

Belfast- Titanic Experience ! & pm city tour

Dublin - CC Roll Call private tour & lunch at McNeills Pub

Glasgow- Discover Scotland Tour, Sterling Castle,etc

Cork - eCoach Tour, Blarney, Cork, Kinsale

Liverpool - DIY , Yellow HOHO bus, Albert Dock-Beatles Experience, The Cavern,etc

Guernsey- DIY , local bus 7a around the island

Hope this gives you some ideas :D

Very exciting !!

We are on the May 23 British Isle Cruise.

Best advice.... Get to know your fellow cruisers on Roll Call and link up with them on private tours. Princess charges ridiculous prices. Also, we purchased most of our tickets,ie, castles, HOHO buses, Beatles Experience, Titanic Experience on line. Didn't want to waste time standing in line. Also eliminates a lot of foreign currency to bring.

This cruise has been on my bucket list for years, and my husband is treating me for my 65th birthday ! I am so excited and I know you are too !! :D

We usually send laundry out. Anyone have experience with this service ?

When do you get it back ? Does the Ruby offer any specials on their British cruise ? How were your clothes when you got them back ?

Does the Navigator have the soda machines ?

We booked our air through Princess. Our sail date is May 23,2014. We are paid in full. Flying from Houston to London via United Airlines. When I pull up my reservation on Uniteds website it says we are not ticketed :confused:

Can anyone explain this ?

When are formal nights on the Alaska cruises ?

We will be touring the British Isles on the Ruby Princess. And we'll be doing a lot of walking. So I thought a good foot massage would be a great idea !

Can anyone recommend one of the treatments ? :confused: There's more than one.

Thanks in advance ! :)

This is a very good website which should help you

Thanks for the link. The private shuttle service says it drops you off at city center. We were wanting to go to the castle. Not sure where city center is.

Are there taxis waiting at the pier ? Hoping to share a taxi with fellow passengers to the castle.

It's been a while since we sailed with Princess. Can you cash a check on Princess ? We will be on the Ruby, a British Isle cruise. Can we get pounds and euros ? We'll bring cash in both currencies, but just in case we run short it would be convenient to get some from the ship.
