Can you please give me the website link? TY

Thanks. Will try to see how to get to free tours. Its confusing bc this is my 1st trip to Hong Kong. Sort of confirms that I should do the paid ship excursion for A$108 instead of the free tour. Sometimes you just need to spend that OBC on something other than specialty dining

@Level six & @Ken the cruiser I have good luck with the privacy button. Not even a knock. Patter slid under the door at night. I've never wanted 2× day service. Just am sir. And especially after the restart .....

Just went onto my Schwab account & I can get request a current valuation letter with shares listed via online request. It's different than a monthly stmt. Can you get that with an Australian brokerage @rickays? I know Australia is different

I strongly suggest uber (or Super Shuttle if hotel is at airport)

I'd cancel the excursion and put it on wait list. Then rebook in 2 days when the cc refund is 'in process' and they have to use OBC. Heck you might even have the cc refund by then!!

Oh no @rickays Lynda & Ken!! Do you have a broker you can contact? If so can you get an interim monthly stmt?? You're going to need the OBC now and next April (that one is also right after end of quarter).

Ok I'm stumped. I see loads of free tours but no way to get to them from the ship. Central MTR Station K Exit seems to be a common starting point but Google maps suggests walking 3.1km then taking 2 public transit options just to get to & from a 2 hr walking tour. Is there a better way to get there? About to just book a ships tour

@Steelers36 is the expert here but basically: - $7.50 usd / A$10.88 for 1 device per day for balance of cruise, not sure what price is for just 1 day. Of course if you've got a bunch of sea days at first and don't need / want it there i always found it to be $7.50 / A$10.88 'til end of cruise.' (As recent as June 17, 2023 but everything changes) - And yes it is unlimited as the new system doesn't track minutes or data. - Reception was really bad Mid-Atlantic in September but the ship dn have Starlink yet

Never. It clips on my belt loop

2.5' reel. Never have to take it off

DW: larger with sofa BW: standard balcony, no sofa

Very obstructed looking down. Completely. Not obstructed looking out. FWIW Emerald Decks 'obstructions' are the tenders. There aren't tenders between E403-E433

The total cost of the cruise is the total cost of the cruise. If I'm traveling as a solo, my "base fare" is the fare that cruise costs me, as a solo. It doesn't matter to me what two people in the cabin would pay per person, because that doesn't apply to me. All that matters to me is what I would pay for that cruise. I'm so confused. Are you saying you don't mind paying exactly what someone would pay if they were paying for 2 in that same room?? If so, why are you looking for "Solo Deals" which is where the solo supplement (aka penalty although i don't see it as such) is reduced????? I guess I'm missing something. What is the definition of "Solo Deals?" Can anyone let me know. PLEASE @Cruise Raider need to look at more SF cruises. Its nice just taking Bart to the port

@hunt182644 i didn't see anyone when arriving at Heathrow last September. Walked up to egates, scanned passport & my face, walked right in. Seriously through in a matter of minutes and off to National Express bus system. That was the entire customs / immigration process. (I do not carry med in its container. Just a pill a day × 3 weeks)

So maybe it's just the itineraries I'm interested in never completely remove the supplement.

@cavecreekguy. Umm it should matter to you what the supplement is. the lower the supplement the lower your actual solo fare. You'll still pay 100% of your per person taxes / fees / port charges (those aren't doubled for solos). 2800 base fare 5600 for 2 in room. 3960 with 40% supplement 5600 with 100% supplement I've never seen Princess completely eliminate solo supplement in my 50+ cruises.

1. The 3 MDR are basically the same 2. I know the midship dining rooms (Deck 5 Juneau & Deck 6 Skagway) have windows on both sides. No idea about Ketchikan (Deck 6 aft). My favorite spot is Juneau tables 213-215, near enough to look out the window but never lucky enough to get the actual window 3. Absolutely! Just ask the head waiter 4. Ok. Now you're getting a little tricky. Deck 5 Juneau probably but not at prime dining times. So you're being seated at 5 or after 7:30 as you're a larger group. It's easier for me bc I'm a solo and pre-order so fast. And definitely not in Skagway -- that seems to be more crowded. I've heard it's also possible in Ketchikan but I don't eat there -- 5. Button up is common for US based cruises. Europeans and Asians are more formal (add tie & perhaps jacket). But you'll be seated in a button up there too But hey, this is just my personal experience ... yours may / will differ

Its so sad. I was just there 2 months ago and now it's gone Suggestions on best way to help now

Yes but it requires you to post your email then have them email you with that info. The roll call is a good place to do it as those are harder to find after the voyage

We actually agree that everyone's needs are different -- some can't bear to be unplugged [FOMO] and many are so relieved to be unplugged especially when traveling with family & friends. OP is traveling with family

@memoak I don't. I'm plugged in continually here so I appreciate being unplugged. I just deal with 15-30 minutes on the TV. I wouldn't even carry my phone if it wasn't for ON. Before my trips this year when I got so used to ON, it lived in the safe.

Yeah so OP's math is even more likely to be a slam dunk. A good example showing everyone has to do their own math Assumption is that internet us needed. Not everyone needs to remain plugged in 24×7

If not needing internet (and not everyone does) your math is spot on. Just forgot free room service ($5 each order) + ordering on app ($15 one time) Current (as of June 16, 2023) children's menu calls it something else. Although it doesn't say berries it still had them:
