Thanks for your information, blue_water! We hope to go back there in February! 🙂

Back to the OP's question - we have enjoyed going to Secret Harbour for the day. It's going on 4 years since we've been there so I don't know if this is still accurate, but we were able to rent loungers, eat, and drink there. The first couple times we could plunk down anywhere but the last time they had an area on the side for non-resort guests. Check their website, there may be more info. The bay is beautiful, decent snorkeling, and not crowded.

You *should* be ok if you walk off (with your luggage) as soon as you can, and yes, get a taxi! We usually opt for 11/11:30 flights and haven't had a problem. Do you have TSA PreCheck? That might help, too.

We print at home and take along the clear packaging tape, Tape along the whole tag, with extra at the end to tape together on our bags. Never had a problem!

We kept the $100pp OBC with our booking, I think it depends if re-faring or having to cancel and re-book?

As cr8iv1 said, it will depend if it's "for new bookings only," in which case you can cancel and re-book (if your deposit is refundable) or just a price reduction that can be re-fared. I did this a few months ago when I noticed our February sailing showed a reduced price. I first tried emailing my Princess rep (had booked this one directly) and when I didn't hear back from her for a day or two, called the Customer Service number and the person I talked to was able to re-fare it for me, saved over $250pp. It can pay to keep checking the cruise prices!

I guess we've never had enough OBC to not use up Rick's MOBC! The couple times we have had quite a bit, we treated ourselves to the ship tour and Ultimate Balcony Dinner 🙂

I can never understand this - are you saying if the condition/diagnosis was determined MORE than 60 days before paying for the insurance, you are out of luck if it causes one to cancel the trip, but if LESS than 60 days before, they will cover a cancellation? But if we have "cancel for any reason" it will be covered (with FCC, not a refund)? Thanks.

Unless it's really a serious issue it seems like most complaints in the Reviews are what we refer to as "first-world problems."

Nope, still can't see the Excursions on the app, using my Android phone. Just the one I already have reserved. Nothing happens when I tap or hold the "View Excursions" bar for the other ports.

I posted about this on Friday. This reply, while a cumbersome workaround, did seem to work (haven't looked at the website today). https://boards.cruisecritic.com/topic/2960791-another-website-fail/?do=findComment&comment=66018926

At Pauli's 😊

You may already have this info (I read on another thread that this is your first cruise) but you will get a "Patter" or have it available on your Medallion app that lists the activities for the next day, including information about the port times and any time restrictions. We are hoping to be on this cruise in mid-October, starting in QC, so I am guessing our extra day will be like any other port day, you can come and go and you please until the "all aboard" time.

Next to the Neptune Oyster (or a couple doors down) is Pauli's, a "hole in the wall" local place with WONDERFUL lobster rolls, both cold and hot! We were there in May, and the hot was $29, I think, but cheaper than the one on the menu at Neptune. You can sit at a counter or get it to go, and walk a block to the Rose Kennedy Greenway for an al fresco lunch.

Just came across this thread. Thanks, GTJ, for the maps!

So if we are booked with a TA, they need to send them to Princess to apply to OBC? Haven't done this before, thanks.

Glad it wasn't just me! Hope we'll run into you and Ruth on another cruise someday 😊

The issue I had was not with booking but seeing what is available for each port.

It did, thank you! (I was otherwise occupied the past couple of hours, so was just able to try it). That seems a rather cumbersome way to access them, especially as there are no instructions on the page 😒

I'm still not sure which "initial link" you are referring to - the Excursions link in my Travel Summary, or...?

Copy what link...?

Are you seeing ALL the available excursions for ALL the ports? I still am taken to "Excursion Reservations" and can only see the one I've signed up for. Otherwise, it's like lx200gps said... Ok, if I just go to Find a Cruise and find that sailing, I am able to see the Excursions for the ports. Just not from my Travel Summary, then, I guess.

I've tried to look at available excursions for both my October and February cruises, on the app and with Chrome. When I click on the Excursions icon in my Travel Summary, it takes me to "Excursion Reservations" with no way to access available excursions for the ports. When I look at the Itinerary, and click on the port name, it does the same thing. Anyone else having this issue?

Didn't you have to give Princess your credit card number for the deposit and final payment? If so, they already have it, and, if I remember correctly, you just confirm that it's the card you'll be using.

Swell, just what I need, a light going on in the room every time my husband gets up to use the bathroom! 😒
