  1. The Chardonnay was horrible but Charles & Charles Rose was passable
  2. So are you simply saying that unless I see the show in person, I can't have a valid opinion?? You can have an opinion based on YouTube perceptions. Kinda hard for me to take your opinion / critique on real onboard shows taken seriously JMHO
  3. These Princess shows tell a story: > The Secret Silk > Spotlight Bar (loosely) > 5 Skies (video game player trying to free princess, very easy to follow IMHO) These production shows may have a story in them but hard to tell: > Inspired Silliness > Magic to Do (👎) > Stardust (walked out after 5 minutes) > Bayou

    Disembark in DAIKOKU

    @Leelooczj (note: haven't done this in Yokohama) generally I just grab the 1st cab in the long line of cabs waiting for us to disembark. They are / have been at every port waiting for cruisers and almost everywhere (except a few middle eastern countries, definitely wasn't an issue at Narita before) cabbies are regulated so fares are consistent
  5. @ROCruiserWhere did it drop you off & did you have a set time to return or was it open ended? (On Princess cruise next month)
  6. Those are / were at the buffet as well as Apple .... basically the Bigelow flavors. If that is your preference you can get a few tea bags & request hot water at IC. I just like a large tea pot hot water and the IC premium tea bags for $2.50+18% tax. ADDING: I'm a standard fare cruiser, not Plus or Premier. Math works for me.

    Disembark in DAIKOKU

    Thank you @ROCruiser! I looked at a number of the videos & that sets my mind at ease. Can hardly wait and will definitely go to the market & also the Pancake House (yes those fluffy pancakes look delicious)

    Disembark in DAIKOKU

    That would be perfect @ROCruiser. Is that a cruise line shuttle or a port shuttle or does it depend on the cruise line?
  9. I'm disembarking in Daikoku 27-April for an 11pm flight from Haneda and apparently Daikoku is on an island. Although Rome2Rio states I could walk to Yamashita Park it looks like a freeway. I have confirmed with the port that bus 109 to the park may not be operating that day. I did sign up for the A$220 disembark tour but been there / did that / prefer to see Yokohoma this time. 2 prong question: 1. Where to store 22" carryon which might weigh 20 lbs. (9K) 2. Best way to get off dock
  10. CVP general # 1-661-753-0303 Princess telephone tree 1800Princess Also might try 1-800-901-1172
  11. Not good. No pictures from buffet yet.
  12. @chamima only vegan main dish is the last one: Curried Cauliflower Steak.
  13. I agree that it might not change but it will take me 16 nights to eat through the whole menu and various combinations! (I'm vegetarian not vegan)
  14. Forwarded to me by someone booked on September 2024 Sun Princess:
  15. 1. I never bring original bottles because I'm only bringing a small portion (2-3 weeks) of the 180 day supply. Same for land based trips 2. Whats a hair prod? Is that something only guys use? For me: everything fits in a quart size zip lock bag 3. See above .... I travel in a 22" domestic carryon 4. Absolutely and my fastest check in ever. FWIW my transit from Hotel Smeraldo to the ship was €34. I found 2 others staying there on the roll call & we booked a shared transit as a group for 100€ / 3 = 34. Each paid individually
  16. I usually slide luggage under bed immediately after boarding then head off to MDR for lunch. View muster drill while eating, check in at muster station, and then back to stateroom to unpack
  17. I received an email yesterday about Mediterranean excursions on sale. The excursions showed how many spots were left so I canceled & rebooked. Also was able to see how much obc was still available but I do this on the web site in my phone so your experience may vary
  18. Depends. If this is a 'regular' cruise not a deeply discounted one then: > FCD covers deposit + gives you OBC (15-150 depending on how long the cruise is) > You control booking and can refare / rebook if it drops or perks significantly increase > you can transfer booking to a travel agent or CVP if you want (actually future cruise agent booked it under my CVP) No idea if it is a 'deeply discounted' cruise as I've never found one I wanted
  19. Yep. I've got 8 books & 2 bottles wine in my 22" suitcase, enough to handle 9 sea days. Guess I'm not packing as many clothes. Priorities
  20. Our 4/6/24 M&G was going to be in Take 5 until we had over 180 participants, then we were moved to Symphony Dining Room this month. At least we know before we embark! Found out the day before the M&G on the Enchanted Transatlantic that we were moved to Vista Lounge (also 180)! Events Coordinator had an urgent msg waiting for me when I got onboard 😁
  21. @TRLD my original CVP retired 12/2021 and my booking has NOT been reassigned to my new CVP. So she doesn't get credit for anything she does with it .... a voyage with a booking # that is all letters / no numbers I had an absolute nightmare useless waste of oxygen one between my retired and my current CVP who only wanted me to contact her once a week at night about 1 cruise at a time. At that time I had 6 bookings, right now I only have 4. Yeah -- she was less than useless but that's a different story ADDING: the ONLY WAY op will know if they will help is to call them and stop trying to reinvent the wheel JMHO
  22. I NEVER refared as each time PCL redeployed me they added days at the same price. My 10 day cruise is now a 22 day cruise at the same price. But they've had my $$s since 2019
  23. My CVP handles all my booking issues even those that I booked with M.R. before the pandemic. I requested / got her in 2022. I'm sailing on my final redeployed one next month (Australia delayed / redeployed by PCL from Nov 2020) but she still helps with flights, releasing overpayment due to those flights coming down in price, hotel reservations, etc M.R. had autopayment set up to pay off on final payment date when she booked it in 2019
  24. Here's how: call 1(800) 901-1172 like most of us are suggesting. It really doesn't matter that you didn't book with a CVP ... A good one (and most are) will answer your concern. (Just wondering, is this about Sun Princess cancelations?)
