Is it true that the door leading to the pool is a nuisance and very loud when it closes,

Sometimes. It depends on the wind. If it slams too much, report it, and it can be adjusted.

something kid friendly and active but we will have our luggage. Anyone have any good ideas about what to do and what to do with our luggage?

The aquarium used to store luggage if you went there.

Never in the Caribbean, but plenty in Alaska.

Good evening everyone.

I wondered if anybody has ever done a Northbound Alaska Cruise and then booked a Southbound Alaska Cruise together. Is this possible? Also, does anybody know of a 10 or 14 day Alaska cruise?

We're doing a north and a south on Coral Princess this year. Have done them in the past. Also have taken the 10 day out of San Francisco on Princess. I think there is a round trip out of LA next year.

Here is a link to a Beverage Calculator with current prices. You will need a spread sheet to open it.

There is so much open deck space on Coral, that you can actually do without a balcony. You will want to be moving around during the transit anyway.

We had a nearly brand new on on the CORAL when we sailed Alaska!!!

We also had the new beds on Coral in February. They are far too soft for me, but I liked the old beds that everyone complained about.

Does anyone have any experience with tour companies in/around LA, or suggestions for good/bad ones, that will take you around to the sightseeing locations, such as the Hollywood sign, Rodeo Drive, etc?

If cruising out of Long Beach or San Pedro, I would also recommend sunseekers.

Stayed there a number of years ago. My definition would be a "dump". In fact I looked in Webster's for the definition of dump, there was a picture of the Ramada Air/ Cruise port. Check the dictionary.

Just curious, no one has posted since February, are people not using Priceline?

I have found that you don't get the 60% to 70% off deals that you could get in the past. Using the "name your price" feature, you're lucky to get 25% off. The express deal is used a lot, as it takes some of the unknown out of the picture. Also, some of the higher end hotels don't use the site as much, as they don't have the vacancies they used to have.

 

Does the IC, though apparently smaller than others I’ve seen, still have the same amount of sandwich/sweet options as others?

 

Thanks

The food choices are not as diverse.

I've had a couple of Pedis at Nail Port, I got info off Google Maps and made appointments.

We have used the outdoor pools in June before. You just never know from day to day, week to week, month to month, or year to year.

I hadn't really ever seen what it looks like from behind and slightly above. OMG!

All my friends know that pictures from the back are forbidden. Another year maybe they'll be limited from the front too!:rolleyes:

i would call and talk to them.

ditto!

 

Is your experience with this a recent one?

February 2018

I ordered casino credits and it did not give me an option to assign the gift to myself or my dh.

If ordered over the phone this is possible.

do I have to sign for the cash at the table or will my husbands table charges also be applied to the total casino credit amount showing on our account?

You should receive a card in your room stating that you have credit. Take this to the casino cage, and you can cash it in. I've always got cash, but you may be able to apply it to your account.

 

I am keen to have this cabin but am concerned about excess noise from the door to the outside public aft deck slamming at odd hours.

 

We have spent about 65 days in either B724 or B727 on Coral or Island, and are scheduled for 14 more in August. We have had banging doors, and non banging. If the door bangs, it is usually the fault of the closer, and can be adjusted to eliminate the noise.

Hydration, hydration, hydration. Then a hair of the dog!

Trying to decide between Island Princess or Caribbean Princess for 10 day partial transit for Panama Canal in October. Seems to be a very similar itinerary.

As mentioned before, you have to decide if you want to go through the "old locks" or "new locks". If this is probably going to be your only trip to the canal, I would take the Island, although it is not the ship it used to be. If you are more interested in the ship, and not the destination, take the Caribbean. The Caribbean has many more amenities, and you will be less crowded than on the Island.

I bring two on most trips.

Try Cunard but they mostly go from NYC

You could go with one line & take one of the Cunard ships back maybe the train to Florida

Agree. They have a couple round trips, out of New York to London, per year.

As of 1:30pm EDT, 3/30/2018, Marine traffic site has Coral Princess off the North side of Cuba near Nuevitas. Sea Scan has them on the western tip, near Pinar del Rio. Both have them arriving in Ft Lauderdale 0700 hours tomorrow.

Just checked position of the Coral Princess on both sites. One has it going around the east end of Cuba. The other has it heading around the west end. Both had it leaving Ocho Rios, and heading to Ft Lauderdale.

Just off the Royal ... instantly, after using my card in a shop or at a bar, I was able to view that expense on my folio via Princess@Sea.

At Happy Hour on the Coral, in February, our drinks were showing on the account before we received them. We don't need the medallion to track people. I can track my wife by checking her account.
