  1. The problem is you have either a long drive (1 hour+) or a huge wait if there is an accident in the tunnel. We usually take the harbor shuttle and stay near the pier..
  2. Strange, you did not ask for the $50 B2B discount. It might be applied. Take a look. If not, either you or your TA likely will need to request same.
  3. Celebrity is (in)famous for its IT department. If you found this during your cruise and paid the higher amount Customer Relations would likely give you a credit. Probably for the whole amount.
  4. The website says at least 16 unless accompanied by an adult. Some years ago our 6' tall 12yr old grandson was not challenged.
  5. Why not use a sea day and do a load of laundry? We bring a couple pods or laundry sheets. Rarely a wait early. Several threads about this.
  6. No. Openings are usually about 23.6" depending on frame style. As ships are built outside USA that is .6 meter. Some are +/-580mm. Depends on the shipyard. Useable is about 22" with door fully open.
  7. What was confusing? Whether a taxi or tour bus you need to either hire a porter or physically get your bags to the vehicle. Have used a car service and still had to collect our bags and get them to the designated meeting point - usually at a limo area a short walk outside the terminal and occasionally just outside the baggage collection security point
  8. Like some others we sailed E class once. Done. Had friends in a suite suite and spent lots of time in the retreat. Simply put we disliked the layout, that Blu felt like an afterthought with a view of 2 lifeboats and the IV dreadful to us.
  9. Thank you. The Australian mobile site gave different information- no surprise. Called them and corrected as of this morning. Not a reading problem, but Princess getting around to changing the various mobile sites.
  10. New Zealand as said has dozens of companies doing shore excursions. A Google search of your desired destination and cruise ship shore excursion will give you several choices. Many companies will not pay the commission the cruise company charges and can only handle 10-30. Book direct.
  11. Have you gotten enough comments? All saying exactly the same thing. If flying to a country that requires 6mos till passport expiration you will be denied boarding on the airline.
  12. Have never paid any attention to the color of my medallion. On our last cruise DW gad a Grey medallion and mine was white. Found out I had three loyalty numbers! Oh well.
  13. We did a B2B over New Years. About 1/3 of the wines by the glass changed from day 1 to day 22. Lots of substitutions starting about day 10. Would find a nice $15 a glass red and the next day it was gone. If the OP asked in a current roll call for his ship might get a bit more of an idea of what they are pouring
  14. On every cruise on a dressy evening you will have men walking about in everything from tuxedos to t-shirts and shorts. In general Europeans were a bit "smarter" than Americans.
  15. My post was made as sort of a you have got to be kidding mode. We both to whom PVSA applies and that there are waivers. It appears at some ports they do a waiver on the spot and not at others. That a deceased person was charged is beyond comprehension. cr - crew and entertainers are not subject to a PVSA fine, but rather they need the appropriate passports and/or visas to disembark at ports.
  16. Much more technology advanced than a key card. Doors and medallions can be programmed easily. Would guess (only that) They will program the door to match your medallion. Codes are changed after each passenger disembarked or changes rooms. Let us all know exactly what happened please
  17. Important to note a couple things. The maximum you will be charged for port fees is fixed when you book. Between that date and the cruise date fees can change (usually up). Missing a port will result in a reduction in fees that might be offset by increases (post your booking date) from remaining ports scheduled or replacement ports added. In some cases port fees are paid ahead and are not refunded if a port is missed. So to the OP, you likely will receive an OBC, possibly a reduction recruiter and possibly nothing. Have seen all 3.
  18. If you are asking can you bring more than 2 bottles on board at boarding - no. Go to the Princess website where the details are fully outlined.
  19. INS officers uniform usually includes tactical gear. Nothing special there. An confused by your post. Crew members and passengers were disembarking, but others were charged the $941? Presume this was the middle of a cruise that had not yet stopped at a BONUS port, but this thread was about emergency/urgent medical situations - not someone saying they are choosing to leave. On a LA to Hawaii to Ensenada to LA cruise DW was told on death of her Mother that she could disembark in Honolulu Tomales arrangements (not me).
  20. They showed 3 September 2025 cruises when I looked last week. Checked again and still there.
  21. There are a couple of credit cards with excellent coverage including Chase Sapphire. Does have a fee after the first year. We found its coverage and claim procedure to be fast and fair. Even has primary coverage on rental cars.
  22. Not sure what constitutes a "listed" medical emergency. Do know a heart attack patient who was evacuated to the US on a cruise that began in San Pedro (LA). Never any discussion of violating the act or a bill. Agree with 1025 if the disembarking was involuntary due to a medical emergency there would be no fine to the passenger
  23. With a huge turnover and Celebrity has exactly the same issues as every other company (probably more with the international crews who mostly have no experience). Instead of getting upset I was told to gang up and redial if on the phone, walk away and ask someone else if in person, and forget chat as it is usually hopeless.
  24. You at times can have a bit of noise from above. Did not bother DW or me.
