And what evidence do you have that Princess did not maintain their ship. From the sounds of things your car NEVER breaks down.

At the end of the day the OP deserved a better response and quicker. From past experience Prncess customer service has been known for not doing anything till the end of the crusie then offering some compensation. We have learned from past experience that you get things resolved while still on the ship OR nothing will happen.

Thanks for taking us along. See you in October. Joe

Many moons ago Princess kept a stack of paper napkins at the buffet along with the utensils. I would always grab a clean napkin and use it to pickup the serving spoon. Once done I would throw it away. Wish they still had the paper napkins.

Well not really. One currency the crew hated when traveling in Europe was the Ruble. Of course that was years ago. The Ruble was worthless. In New Zealand last year we could not get change for the US dollar on board. I think it depends on where the cruise might start from.

last time we were in Victoria it was a bit disappointing. Many panhandlers and homeless. Has it gotten any better. Use to be one of my favorite cities to walk to from the ship. Enjoyed reading your thread. Joe

If the ship is the destination and you like new and fancy the Island is not for you. If it's all about the ports then it really doesn't matter what ship you are on. Having a port just about every day is exhausting. You will not see much of the ship just the bed as you fall asleep.

Depending on who is taking the class and their fitness level the instructor will/can adjust the class intensity.. Don't worry about what others are doing. Work at your own level.

Don't forget, if the ship is late getting into port, which has happened, everything changes.

If money is no object and if you are of a certain age the Princess hotel and transfers worked well for us. We don't use the service often. We used it in Buenos Aires and we were happy with the service. As others have stated their is a rep. when you get off the plane to meet you .Hotels have been nice. Any yes getting to the ship is slow. If you are one of those that has to be the first on board then the Princess shuttle may not be for you. We have been there, done that so we just go with the flow. We are slow and in no rush. At the end of the day it is expensive but their is the peace of mind that you will be looked after.

YES

Your right. EZAir is only available about 330 days or less

OP have you checked your cruise without logging in to Princess and gone into EZair. Very easy to play around with and see what flights they have, cost and times. We have found when booking EZAir the earlier the better. Best prices go fast.

We have had a window suite on the Grand twice. . IF the door at the far end is left open too long, which happens on occassion, I have smelled some smoke in the hallway. Very faint. It has never gotten in the cabin. I'm guessing the cabin steward left the door open while working. I have closed it a few times. Yes you might have some smoke smell in the hallway. Sorry guys. It does happen but again never smelled it in the cabin.

We had no issues with that type of buffet serving. It worked well for us. Wished it had continued.

Nothing ventured nothing gained. Good luck.

Sorry to say but no amazing deals on board. Very rare that they will have a special cruise that they will offer some additional on board credit. Very rare. If you find something you like book it then transfer to a travel agent when you get home. Most travel agents will give you some additional on board credit or discount the fare slightly depending on the cabin category.

I think the key word here is Pre Packaged only.

The cruise terminal was a nightmare when we disembarked. Ship to a bus, bus to the termainal. Not much direction. It was slow going for us and stressful for anyone over a certain age..

We also had age restrictions for our zipline tour.

Suites have always had a higher deposit.

Never used them in England but used Blacklane in both Tokyo and Sydney and were very happy with them. Both times met us at baggage claim with a sign.

Are you flights available if you book directly through the airline? Or are they also gone on the airline website?

Blacklane Was very happy with the service.
