Has anyone stayed away at the Marlin Waterloo Hotel? Looking for reviews of the hotel and area around the hotel. Thanks so much. We have never been to London.

Last Fall we opted to go direct to Southampton after arriving at Heathrow - we booked Blackberry both ways.  We spent the night in a hotel in Southampton.  Coming back I had made reservations for the Crowne Plaza at Term 4 - not convenient but did what we needed.  A note - we planned to take the Hoppa to our terminal in the morning and it never showed up so the clerk called us a taxi.  He groaned about having 2 people, 2 regular size and two carry on size bags and tried to charge us extra when we got to the airport.  Nice try.  Considering this was our first trip to the area it all went rather smoothly - the ride to/from Southampton was considerably shorter than we anticipated and our hotel in Southampton made us sit in the lobby until they were ready for us 🙂  Coming back we were also very early but the Crowne Plaza got us right into our room.

We are looking at Blackberry. How was it??

Thanks!!

The WiFi in the Princess Plus Package states one device. Can you change the devices during the trip or must you stick to one device? Thanks!

I did the bus to & from Skara Brae. Note: you must have exact change in £. No €,¥,or $ accepted. 

I know this clip states USD but that was NOT accepted in 2018. Just £s

 

there used to be other alternatives as well so Google it if interested. Weird to call pre-shutdown as olden days but a lot has changed

So did you get the bus from the travel centre where the shuttle left you off?

The small town is charming. We walk all around . I loved the cathedral and a old castle behind the Castle. We got our best Sweat and T-shirts in the shops. We took a bus to the Standing stones instead of the ships tour. Our Ship tour was to much money , but if your is cheap enough I would of done the ship tour. The town is nice and fine for a day 

All of the excursions are very expensive. I am thinking of walking to the town if it is possible. Also, saw they have a free shuttle to the travel center and then find places to go like the Cathedral.

Once yo get there, the town is very walkable, harbour, shops, Cathedral.  It is a 2.2mile walk from the cruise ship dock to the Cathedral, so unless you are a good walker the shuttle service might be your best bet.

Must you have GBP or can you use credit card? 

Hi,

 Is the port of Kirkwall walkable to town? Do they have tours at the port available? Seems like all of the tours on Princess are pricey and not very good. Any advice would be appreciated!

Thanks!

Looking for information on transportation from South Queensferry Port to St. Andrews golf course. Would Glasgow be a closer drive?? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

Opinions about staying in the Waterloo area. Looking at Marlin Waterloo and Hampton by Hilton. Any information appreciated. Thanks!

There is an online help chat that might be able to solve this. Or you could try contacting your travel agent.

One person in our party could not log in on the app to get set up for our cruise. He was doing everything right so we used the chat. It turned out that his birth date was entered incorrectly. The chat agent had it fixed and all was well.

Thanks. I am trying that option now.

We booked a  2024 cruise. I downloaded the Medallion app and signed in without any problem. I then got a casino credit. My travel agent had Princess apply this credit to our booking. However, for some reason, Princess had to change the booking number. Now when I try to log in the Medallion, it says the new booking number is already being used and the old booking number has been cancelled! I have deleted the medallion app and reinstalled without any luck.

Has any had experience with this or have any advice? Thanks!!

Hi,

We are planning on rebooking  a British Isles Cruise in 2024 that was cancelled twice during Covid. Currently Princess has "Best Sale Ever". Would like to hear opinions about what Princess sale you think is the best! Thanks so much.

We are looking at a cruise in May, 2024 that has an overnight stay in Belfast. How easy is it to get from the port to downtown?  If you use tour groups, is there several places to visit in the area? Have never been to the British Isles. Thanks so much

Can US Dollars be used in slot machines at Atlantis? Can winnings be cashed into US dollars? Thanks!

What would the price be from the port to Atlantis? Thanks.

Has anyone stayed in a connecting cabin on the Enchantment of the Seas? If so, is the cabin loud from the adjoining cabin? 

Thanks!

We walked the Freedom Trail 3 yrs ago. We took a taxi to the USS Constitution, the end of the trail and then walked to the beginning. We did this to alleviate crowds. It worked great.  Enjoy!!

Here's the Dockyard's website: https://www.dockyard.bm/

Thanks. Any recommendations? 

Hi, 

We will be docking at the Royal Naval Dockyard from 1pm to 1 pm the next day. Are there walkable things to do at the port? Also, is the area safe at night.  Thanks!

Is there a way to use OBC in the casino?  I have seen the answer to this question before but can't find it now.

Thanks so much!!
