Can someone explain the difference in the Retreat area and the Santuary area and if there are costs associated with each. Thank you we are new to Princess. Alison

Okay thank you

Thanks, I did see that. Just wanted some opinions on Princess vs other companies people have used

I usually use Travel Guard for cruises but am new to Princess. Any recommendations for using Princess insurance vs any other company’s? Thanks!

What is the Ocean Now fee for?

First time Princess and trying to decide which fare to book on Discovery. Can anyone tell me generally what the WiFi cost is for a 7 night if you purchase that separately. Thank you in advance!!

Thank you all for the info! I don’t need any further info, closing this post.

Is there self service laundry on Discovery?

Thank you!!

Thank you, great information!

Never sailed HAL before and am going on the 18 day Hawaii on Koningsdam. Do they offer any laundry deals throughout the cruise like some of the other lines? Just trying to figure out how much I need to pack. Thanks in advance for any helpful info.

Does going through the original locks solve the current problem? Sorry for my ignorance, just learning about all the cancellations

Did they replace those cancelled ports with others or just sea days?

Yes, I read a couple of lines have cancelled their Panama Canal crossings for 2023

Has anyone’s Jan or Feb partial Panama Canal transit on Rotterdam been cancelled or altered? If altered, what’s your new itinerary? Thank you!

Just to add, partial transit Feb 2024 on Rotterdam

Thank you!

Partial Transit Feb 2024 Rotterdam

Partial

This is for experienced Holland cruisers, their opinions: If they end up having to cancel cruising through the canal will they cancel completely or just keep the southern Caribbean route minus the canal? Hope this makes sense, of course I know it’s only guesses at this point. Thank you!!

What deck did you watch/listen from? I was usually on 4 near Cafe Al Bacio

I really liked the shows, went to quite a few. They also had nice music in the evening in the Grand Plaza area but this area although 2 decks isn’t big enough. If you want a seat there in the evening especially with a large sailing get there early. I had no problem with service anywhere. Really liked the Rooftop Garden and the Solarium.

Pasta station was open, thank god😂😂

We ate there 2 nights as well, one night I just did pizza which would have been ok but was ice cold.

Just off Apex, long time cruiser but first on Celebrity. We had a reservation for Normandie made weeks before cruise. When we got there (on time) they told us they had no available tables for over an hour. Didn’t really explain why and we had to ask them to call the other dining rooms to find us a table. Got a table at Cosmo but just be aware a reservation isn’t a guarantee. Buffet is like what everyone has reported, terrible at dinner but I can always manage to find something. If you’re dinner buffet diners, you might want to have a bigger lunch instead as this selection was more like dinner. Ate at Eden, good but nothing to ooh and aah over. Ate at the other 3 Main dining rooms. Food again ok, wish the tables were alittle farther apart, actually felt like communal dining. I heard how great the Celebrity food was and just didn’t see it. It was good don’t get me wrong but not any better than what I’ve had on my recent NCL cruises. Id be happy to answer any other Apex questions if I can! We were on Deck 8 (8182) Infinite Veranda
