Looking forward to reading this. We are going on a seven day the beginning of August. What ports are you going to because so far what you mentioned are not on our cruise?

@rhiannon84 Thanks!

Sounds really nice! I went to your link and found this: General admittance tickets to the Abbey can be purchased in advance online but a verger tour can only be booked when you arrive at the Abbey. When booking your tickets to the Abbey, please try to book your entry slot 30 minutes or so before the tour is due to start. Previously it said that we can contact them 24 hours in advance to see what times the Verger tours are. Not sure how we can book entry to Abbey 30 minutes before Verger tour if we won't know what times they are til 24 hours in advance! Catch 22. Will have to do a little more research on that. I appreciate all your info. Thanks 🙂

Thanks but to purchase tickets each requires you to pick a time. Is the gallery a separate entrance? If not then we would need to enter the Abbey first with the time we pick. I assume that once inside there is a place to go up to the gallery where they check your ticket for the time you picked? Trying to visualize how it works.

Anyone with advise on ticket time for the War Rooms?

Getting food at the counter but then going to sit at a table would be fine too. It is going on a picnic or eating outside while walking around that is not appealing!

Interesting! Looks like you have to choose a time to visit the Abbey and another time to visit this gallery. I wonder if you can go back down to the Abbey to finish the tour there that you interrupted to go up to the gallery.

Thanks for the ideas. We definitely want a place that has tables to sit down. In the US, fast casual is usually places where you place your order at a counter, pay for it, then go sit down at a table and they bring the food to you. Any suggestions of how much time minimum to allow before we pick a time for the War Rooms? I was thinking if we did the Abbey at 9:30 and they say to allow 90 minutes-2 hours then maybe do the War rooms at 2 pm which would allow us plenty of time to get lunch and get there a little early? I did the Abbey in 2017 but don't remember how much time we spent there. Our traveling companion has never been. It was so much easier when we were in London in 2017. We did purchase some advance tickets but didn't have to pick a time!

We will be in London pre cruise. One day we plan on going to Westminster Abbey (we want to purchase 9:30 am tickets once on sale). We then want a "fast casual" lunch (nothing too big or fancy or time consuming). We then plan on getting tickets for the Churchill War Rooms. Any advise on where to eat and what time to purchase the tickets for the Churchill War Rooms? One person in our small group eats dairy free so no pizza for them. Thanks!

Glad you had a good experience!

Thanks. Yesterday morning my dh called them and they confirmed the balance on the gift card in question. When he asked about complaining that website was not working they said to call Princess. 😞

How long does it lock you out? I tried on my iPad a few minutes ago (yesterday and today was on my laptop) and it would not let me check there either). I wasn't even logged in.

I have done that today which is the next day and it still doesn’t work but thanks.

Discount TAs are not allowed to ADVERTISE their discounted rates. You have to CALL them to get it.

I did. Does anyone know if gift card balances can be checked on the app? Or on the web on my phone? I couldn't find anything.

Just tried again and still not working. 😞

Before I gave all my gift card numbers and pins to my TA, I went to the Princess website to check the balances just to make sure no problems. I checked several and after clicking on check another gift card the site would no longer come up and I had a white screen because the screen was not downloading. I cleared my cookies and same result. Even this morning I get the same thing. BTW- when it would not work right I went to princess.com and clicked to check balance and same thing was happening. My TA had no problem but because one gift card would have a balance I called the phone number to check balances. They do not take the info if there is a problem with the website. They said to go to Princess.com and click on contact us. Before I do that, is anyone else having the same problem?

Loved them on our 2015 Hawaii cruise. I wish them well but they will be missed.

Thank you!

How far in advance of sailing do you send the email?

But it seems some people say they get on the ship and the MDR does not know about it so what is the purpose? My cruise is the beginning of August.

May I ask why send an email and then at the MDR let them know about the allergies? What is the purpose of the email? Could one just let the MDR know on the first night? I am asking because I will travel with someone who can not eat dairy. Thanks.

Princess's lookback period is 60 days. Maybe it changed from 90 previously?

Interesting! We are going on the Sky in August. I didn't see anything on the app. Are you past final payment? We are not.

Just went to AARP and logged in under dh who has purchased 5 this month. It says you can purchase 5/month. Maybe some other company you can buy 20 but not Princess.
