Sorry about your issues. You are not alone. Here is a link with some email addresses (I don't know if the Lorna Warren one is still good because I have never heard her mentioned on here). https://www.elliott.org/company-contacts/princess-cruise-lines/ Christopher Elliott is a consumer advocate. He lists info about contacts of lots of companies and he and his team also help people. Take a look.

I just looked at our one ship excursion we booked for Norway and it went up $60/pp. Wow! Glad we booked last month.

Impressive! FYI - In September while on the Enchanted the pastry buffet was listed in the Patter.

Great!

Has the embarkation lunch changed?

Have a wonderful cruise!

Thanks. Will consider.

FYI- I emailed Simply Airports. They. said they would follow both flights. We will probably book with them but have as a back up all the info on how to get to our hotel via the tube.

Thanks for your ideas. The other party is single and never been to London so is not interested in going alone to hotel in London by herself. She will wait for us. When flights were first booked it would have been dh and I waiting for her but our flights have already changed where we come in two hours after her. Still plenty of time for things to change again 😉

My dh and I are flying to Heathrow at the end of July 2024. Our plane lands at 10:30 am. We are meeting someone else (flying from elsewhere in the US) who is arriving into same terminal (3) but two hours earlier than us. I know when looking at different car services they talk about following your plane. What if ours is on time but our friend's is several hours late? Do car services deal with things like this? Also, some car services say they wait for X amount of time for no charge whereas some ask you what time you want to be picked up. What do we say? I don't know how long it takes from getting off the plane to picking up our bags. My backup plan is to take the tube from LHR to our hotel which would solve this problem but at the moment am leaning towards a car service. Thanks for the help.

We flew SAS business class to Athens and were able to book our seats. Maybe it was because of business class?

For some reason not all roll calls get people to join. I'm on one for during the summer and zzzzzzz!

Thank you all for all the info!

Now it makes sense but not sure why it makes a difference if there is inclement weather.

Thank you. I'll look at my passport. It is USA and I don't remember any camera icon. I did just get it about last March. Edit: checked passport and I DO have camera icon.

A little confused about what you mean about" change at Hammersmith instead of Barons Court. The walk is about twice as long." Does this mean to still get off at Westminster? What walk is twice as long as what? Thanks.

@Globaliser Thank you!

I am not the OP but have been following because we too are looking into rides from LHR to our hotel, Park Plaza County Hall. It is near Waterloo. I have been looking into all options. Am interested in what might be the fastest and then also price. If we took the tube, about how long might it take (We get into LHR at 1030)? What tube lines/stations should we be using? If we paid for a car service how long would that take at that hour? Also, does anyone know how long after we get off the plane to allow for getting through everything and getting our luggage? We will be in T3. Thanks for all your help! FYI- OP, looks like we come in the day before you but are sailing on a different ship. We will take the train to Southampton and when disembarking ship use International Friends (we have used them before) for an excursion with drop off at our LHR hotel.

Thank you!

May I ask what the caveat is? We are planning our pre cruise stay in London and checking out options to get to Southampton.

Awesome!!!!! Thank you for taking us along. 🙂

Me too.

Thank you. Are trains labeled as fast as opposed to, I assume, ones with lots of stops?

Thank you!

We are staying at Park Plaza County Hall. How long is the train to Southampton Central? Once in Southampton how far is the station to West Quay shopping center? Our hotel, Premier Inn is nearby. Thanks.
