Thank you very much! 🌴

Hello - looking at a Greek Islands cruise on either Wind Spirit or Wind Star. Are there many days where the watersports deck is offered? Mid- to late-September if that makes a difference. Thank you.

You're right, my bad. 😄 We used welcomepickups from airport (LGA) and it could not have been easier. We went to hotel for 1 night first, then used them again the next day.

Long wait was not our experience a couple months ago. We disembarked early and there was a steady stream of guests loading the airport buses. If you were in a hurry maybe not the choice for you, but we had a 1pm flight from LGA and the load time wasn't an issue.

Hello all -- what's taxi availability like disembarking at Manhattan? Trying to decide between post-cruise taxi or a pre-booked a car service. I just sailed r/t Brooklyn and I feel like there were a lot of taxis waiting, but it was raining like crazy so we hustled off to the cruise line airport bus and didn't pay attention to much else. Thanks.

Why not take the cruise line transportation?

Hello. I will be sailing the Rhine from Amsterdam to Basel on AmaMora in a few weeks. I'm wondering about how strenuous the bike tours are -- hills etc. I don't normally bike at home, but just did a quick trip around the mostly-flat Stanley Park in Amsterdam without trouble. I'm particularly interested in the bike tour in Basel since it goes through 3 countries, that sounds like fun. Any insights or tips would be appreciated. Thank you!

Contact your TA. They can send you the Princess "Special Services Summary" direct from Polar showing any packages, inclusions, gifts, celebrations, special needs requests that have been added to your booking. Mine are also showing up in the app under "Folio, Packages, and Prizes" for our sailing in a couple weeks and for our sailing in September. Maybe check to see if you have latest app version also.

If you have Plus or Premier, is there anything in your cabin when you board explaining of your inclusions? I sailed last year with that Plus package included but don't remember anything in my cabin. However now there are all the extra inclusions like the desserts and reserved seating. Thanks.

Thank you all for the information. So this is a small St. Augustine-type HOHO *trolley* rather than one of the double-decker HOHO buses we've ridden in other cities. Is that right?

We'll be visiting Boston via Princess Cruises in Sept. My mom is interested in the Hop On/Hop Off. I see that the cruise line offers it, or I can purchase 3rd party a little cheaper. Is there a specific reason to purchase via the cruise line? (For example, in Cartahegna last year, we purchased via the cruise line because they sent buses directly to the cruise terminal, which isn't on the usual route). Thank you.

Go in about 8:30 in the morning and you will have Hyperspace Lounge to yourself. You can take some nice photos or just sit and enjoy the atmosphere and background music, which you can't really hear in the evening. The bar doesn't open until later in the day. When I sailed in Sept reservations were no longer necessary and it wasn't ever crowded that I noticed.
