Was it underground or at the departure areas of each T2 and T3

WOW! That is exactly what I was hoping to hear. I am departing on a United International flight from T2. My previous experience was being dropped somewhere underground in a parking structure then having to shlepp in passages & elevators/lifts to my terminal for check-In. No carts, no help, just OYO. It was horrible for me. I do not remember what terminals were, but I think maybe 2 and 3 were involved.

I have tried unsuccesfuly to find the answer to my querry. The Off-Shore non Princess people are worthless. They just post from their script and are unable to answer specific questions. I have tried the search here on CC including the Europe/British Isles forum and it is way to wide. I was able to find find Princess' contracted transfer company (I think) I emailed them, no reply. I had a horrible and unexpected bad experience the last time I had a Princess transfer to Heathrow. I am alone, a little debilitated, lacking strength, so I have difficulty shlepping luggage. I hope it has changed, or I will have to do a more expensive private transfer. My specific querry is... Does the Princess transfer bus stop at the arrivals area of each terminal or at a single drop point for the whole airport, which was my previous bad experience that I am trying to avoid again. If it is a single drop point, what is the latest/current drop point? I am hoping someone has some recent experience they can share. TIA

It is more than likely that you will not be refunded to your credit card, but given more OBC. I don't recall for sure if is refundable or non-refundable. My guess is refundable OBC. My takeon this kind of situation is reserving these in advance is just buying your own OBC. It's a tough spot, because specialty dining slots and excursions do sell out due to folks buying in advance.

Hi J Wow for United! On a whim I booked a Drop & Go cruise recently at about 39 days out. I went to EZAir and found a really decent fare on United (for Business/Polaris) LAX-London Heathrow non-stop. About half the price of other offerings, especially being a non-stop. United's price was somewhere around $20.00 less, but booked EZAir due to close timing and I will use Princess transfer this time. I am excited! Happy Cruising!

I recently experienced the set lunch menu on the Majestic. I was very underwhelmed with the available choice and the food. Princess, Please go back to the old rotating menus and selections, PLEASE! My opinion/YMMV

LOL, yeah! The inside line that snaked for more than an hour OUTSIDE in the cold and wet.

Re: Majestic DRO. I believe it may be Daniele Rosafio I was just onboard.

I thought about that, but did not want the hassle of turning over to TA. I had my TA get on it already this morning. It is booked, I got the cabin I wanted. YAY! It has a reduced price and cabins are going quickly now. Phewwwwwww.

Thanks all for your replies. It seems the glitch has been corrected. Will now be able to book, but cabin I was looking at is now gone. Princess Plus Save on things you’ll probably do anyway was$153 $60 per person/day Save 61%

No, It is from Southampton. Not GBP either 72.00 British Pounds = 91.307763 US Dollars Not Australian either 72.00 Australian Dollars = 47.540385 US Dollars

@Spudd No, not Canadian. I am logged with my account that shows where I live I believe. 72.00 Canadian Dollars = 52.396801 US Dollars

Princess Plus Save on things you’ll probably do anyway was$165 $72 per person/day Save 56% ADD PLUS Is Princess getting ready to increase the price? I may want to book, but I don't want the higher price Plus. I know I could add it on board

@Thrak. Thank you. I get why you liked it. I looked at it for a cruise I have booked on Coral and it is not available. I am booked down the way on Baja currently.

Michael, Do you mind sharing what that cabin number on the Coral is?

I recently experienced boarding at Seattle Pier 91. It was not fun to stand and inch forward with checked suitcase and carry on for an hour or so. It was mayhem, could not even tell where the end of the line was. I have never been at a port where there are no porters waiting curbside to take your luggage. The situation was a looooooooong snaking line to get into the luggage check area which is inside a building. Then proceed to the security metal detectors and check in lines snaking with the same people. Not a good experience, oh it was cold and rainy too.

There is also dial7. I have used both Carmel and Dial7 and both were fine. I much prefer this way to the Princess transfer.

What cruise are you going on? Enjoy!

@GFLeeper Thanks for your reply.

@GFLeeper I have enjoyed the Chef's Table multiple times. But NEVER have I heard of reserving and paying in advance. Are you sailing in a suite? Does your TA have special connections to the ships? How are you doing this? The typical experience AFIK is to make contact with Dine Line or Guest Services and request to be put on the list, then wait to see if you are selected and then receive your invitation in your cabin.

@suzyed Oooooh, I hope you guys go. It is amazing! I did it on the Discovery. I do not believe there are any dress requirements. Me, I just dressed up smart casual a bit, formal not required.

I totally getchya. Glad you were able to get what you needed in the end. Happy cruising!

We should not have to ...........

I feel extremely fortunate that I thought to try Edge last night and was able to get an excursion booked normally. At the moment Edge still seems to be OK for me. However, Edge or the Princess website is extremely jumpy, so not very enjoyable. I just tried the suggested work around in Chrome, Yes it worked but quite awkward creating a new tab on each step that does not work properly. IMO it is just ridiculous that we as the website users have to figure out from each other how to use this website that is constantly wonky and malfuntioning. YMMV

Yes, I have had and currently have this issue. UGH! The Princess website and App are just so wonky and they don't seem to be able to do anything or don't care to anything about it. When Chrome does not work for excursion browsing/booking I have found that the best chance is on MS Edge, which is my most disliked/unused browser.
