I really appreciate the positive posts from those who have sailed the troubled Crown as we are booked with a large family group on August 20. Because of the size of our group, changing is not an option, and  we normally sail NCL and have always been happy. This will be our second Alaska cruise and we upgraded to a club suite, knowing that we'd be unlikely to repeat excursions we've already done and wanting a comfortable place to hang out.

 

I also started a roll call and have had very little participation, which I've wondered about, and yet, none of my family is participating in  that either so ignorance of CC could be a thing.

 

So, I guess we are looking forward to a nice relaxing drive by Alaska. There's worse things in life!

Hope you excuse my tired eyes, thought you were talking about Sept. !0 not August my bad.

Just curious are you talking about the Seattle and back to Seattle on Sept. 10 on the Crown Princess? A gentleman, ron1946 started a roll call the first of Feb. There at this time are only 4 replys to the roll call.

Given that the Crown is going into dry dock in early October, there is NO hope of the propulsion issues being repaired before your cruise.  (It would have been done by now if it were possible.)  Unless you're a glutton for punishment and disappointment I would seriously consider changing ships!

I wonder did you even take time to read what I posted. We have done this cruise previously and been to several of the ports before. Just looking for a cheap seven day get away. Thanks for taking time to post tho. Actually don't care if they make any ports or if it takes an extra week to get back to Seattle.

Doing the Crown cruise to Alaska in Sept, as we have done this before we are just looking to enjoy a get away trip. Was a party of four now down to just the two of us. Have been watching the Sept 10 roll call for quite some time, hardly any response four posts. One of which cancelled recently. Am beginning to think we may be some of the lonely passengers on this cruise LOL. Reason for this post is there anyone on CC who who is going on the slow boat or do you know anyone? If you have recently been on how was the trip and very many passengers.🙂

Staying one night before cruise, would this area be secure walking to Space Neddle or Pike place. Also lookinh for close retaurant reccomendation.

Thanks for the replys, one more thing to add to the list .

Doing a 7 day Seattle to Seattle, Vancouver will be last port stop. Trying to figure out if fully vaccinated we still need to do the arrive can to get off the ship for the visit. This will be in mid Sept. 

Booked for Sept. 10  7 day  Seattle to Ak. and back. Any reports on whether Crown is still having propulsion problems?

For the last time I am aware of regulations, my original post should have made that quite clear. The one thing that was different was that when I went to my account page the new posting about vaccines and required testing. Granted I have no problem with being cautious, as I  stated I had not had my morning coffee as of yet and that was the main purpose of my post. Early morning it just struck me wrong, just like people who read something and don't bother to understand. That is about all I have to say on the matter, happy safe sailing

If you take the time to read my post. I stated that I just had this come up on my account page it was not there two days ago. Just letting people know it might be wise to look at your upcoming cruises. Yes I am quite aware of what is required just saying this is a new prompt added to cruise info.

Was checking on our Sept. Alaska cruise from Seattle, when I went to my account a new page came up. It now appears that even if fully vaccinated they are now requiring a covid test before boarding. More hoops will this madness ever end, excuse my rant just to early and have not had my coffee yet.

Dispute the charge with your credit card provider.

Thanks to all who replied to my inquiry, this will help us decide if we fly into Montral or Quebec. Was there a choice for hotels given to you by Princess?

Has anyone had flown into Montral via E Z air had a Princess transfer from airport to hotel? Then transfer from hotel to Quebec next morning  in order to board the ship. Any pros or cons appreciated, also which hotel did they put you in and were you given a choice. If you so desire cost of transfer and hotel would be appreciated.

My last post evidently was lost in cyberspace. We sail from Quebec Oct. 21 this year, the ship over nights Oct. 20th in port. We have a choice of two flights from Nebraska on the 20th into Quebec One arrives at 5:30  pm the other at 7:pm. was informed we could still get a transfer from the airport, then have until 11:30 that night to board. This came from Princess when we booked the cruise. We could possibly fly in on the 19th but this will not be convenient for us. Will be following up further with Princess, just wodering if anyone else has run into spmething like this.

Have a cruise that starts in Quebec the ship will be there overnite on Oct. 20/ 1922. It will not sail until 5PM on the 21st. Flying from Nebraska we have a choice of arriving at either 5:pm or 7:pm on either the 19th or 20th. Arriving on the evening of the 20th were work out better for us. When I booked this I was told by Princess that we could board up until 11:30 the evening of the 20th, and there would be a transfer available from the airport to the ship. My question is there anyone else who has done this in the past and had no unforseen problems. I intend to reach out and talk to someone at Princess a second time, thought maybe I could get a suitable answer from someone on CC. Yes I have located hotels for the 19th if I have to fly in then, but would rather not.

Zero - this is a phony war. 

Tell that to those who have lost loved ones on both sides, you should be ashamed of yourself.

Recently on the Eurodam we were one floor up from R H L which is under pool deck. Several mornings we heard abit of noise from above but not enough to be a bother. Had one night out of 17 that we noticed some movement and shaking. Being so close to the Lido it made an early morning trip to get coffee very fast. The nice thing is that this balcony is completely covered the others you can see down into them abit. One morning wife came back from stepping out on to the balcony, said when she looked over a man one deck down was standing at the rail in all his glory. 😆

 Eurodam in Dec. out of 17 days there were 5 days without any wifi service. According to customer service technical problems or just not good service through out the ship. I was told at customer service that Holland has bad wifi service compaered to others. This was included in out pkg. was tols I would be given credit HA, HA.

the front of the dining room, as you walk through you are headed toward the back. Kind of depends on how one looks at it, have a nice day.😊😉🙂

As far as I am aware, no such thing on Princess ships.

Quite right thought I was on Holland . trying to figure out how to delete.

If you and your partner like to dine at a table for two and enjoy abit of privacy. When making a reservation ask if you could be seated at the Honeymoon table this is on the Eurodam not sure about other ships. These are located way to the front in the corner of dining room, one on each side. We made use of them several times also a few years ago when we sailed on the Eurodam.. The staff knew we were just joking about a Honeymoon but one evening about six of the servers at the front started cheering and clapping, that made for a good way to start the night off.

Princess is not really known for their towel animals, so it won't be much to miss.

Perhaps I was thinking of Holland after all it has been several years. All in all it was a good two weeks, good to be back on the water. Now on to Holland for 17 days and a chance to make a few more sarcastic remarks it is always fun to see what kind of respose you can get from people.😁😉

Are you for real? A towel animal and a chocolate is "the good old days"?

Some of us are not picky and easy to please.

One more day left before we reach FLL,it has been a great cruise after being landlocked by the pandemic. It is a nice ship very friendly crew, entertainment somewhat lacking. First two nights of a two week cruise a comedian and a comedian magician. The first night  people were walking out after the first ten minutes the other IMO not any better. The Rock Opera one night was good. The food let me say we never went hungry, there sems to have been some cutbacks and changes made tho. Reflecting on that subject well you can't please everyone.

 For those who are planning a cruise and thinking back to the good old days, there are no more towel animals also sorely missed the nightly chocolate on your pillow. Guess we should just be happy to be cruising again. As for sip and mask, if you are having a drink or eating very few people observed this with no problem. Now on to Holland Dec 5thfor 17 days this should put us home sometime Christmas day. Wishing all a Merry Christmas, Happy New Year and joyful cruising.
