I like to wait for the special wash & fold bag special, but they only take small things like socks, pjs, t-shirts, and the like. But I will say, when sending things out, I have always been happy with the results.

Does this mean you can't include things like shorts or pants?

I called Bernards Tours and was told that there are bathrooms at 3 of the stops - the two beaches and Marigot.

Can someone tell me about the bathroom facilities on Bernards tour? How many of the stops have bathrooms and what is the condition of them. The last time we were in St. Maarten we had only one bathroom break and we had to pay to use it.

The cooking demonstration on the Crown Princess was really fun. The guys were hilarious and the food smelled delicious.

Thanks for the suggestions. Great ideas!

Does anyone have tips on how to dress for the weather on Pacific coastal cruises. We are leaving Sat. from Los Angeles, stopping at San Francisco, Santa Barbara, Astoria Oregon, Victoria BC, and Vancouver. Thanks for any suggestions you can offer.

Thanks to all who responded; I'll check into all these options. Sorry it took me so long to reply, I've been so busy reading all the Princess cruise and food threads that I forgot all about the transportation to get there. :o

Has anyone used West Coast Limousine Service to the Los Angeles pier in San Pedro? I got a fairly good quote from them, but I can't find any reviews online and would love to hear from someone who has done business with them. Other suggestions would be great also. I'll be coming from a hotel in El Segundo. Thanks.

The last Princess cruise I took served warm chocolate chip cookies and cold milk by the pool every day around 3:00. Does anyone know if they still do this?

We just got back from Alaska where we did the seaplane through Family Air Tours. We had a water landing and were able to get out and walk around on land. My son asked questions on how someone would survive if they were alone there and Dave, the pilot, showed him what things were edible and what would make you sick. I had asked about bear sightings so Dave did a search and when he spotted some bears he circled around and did a 2nd water landing so we could get a closer view of the momma bear and cub. He was a great pilot and went out of his way to give us a great tour. The plane was small but was a very smooth ride. They have a deal where you pay for 3 people and get the 4th person free. We had a great time and I highly recommend him.
