Having used hop on hop off buses around the world, sometimes there have been huge queues at cruise ports. Has anyone had experience of the Ocean Quay terminal in Copenhagen? How easy was it? Did you use Stromma or City Sightseeing? Thanks for any thoughts

We are on the Enchanted Princess later this year. Where was the Platinum and Elite lounge on your cruise?

We are on the Enchanted for a 10-day cruise about to end.  We were given an 8x11 sheet of paper with the times for the PES lounge, wine tasting and Captain's Circle Party.  The PES lounge is open from 4:30 to 6:30 every night except the night of the Captain's Circle party.  There is a smack table set up with different offerings all served by the staff (no self-service) but no advance notice of what is offered.  One night they had the boiled shrimp which I love but just happened to be there that night.  There are no discounted drinks offered.   Most though have the Plus package so all the alcoholic drinks are included (less than $15 I believe).

I understand that there will be US plug points in the stateroom but are there any UK plug points?

Can you order drinks for two people using the medallion app and not being charged if on a princess plus package?

Thanks sammybonny I followed your advice and it worked perfectly!

I am also in the UK and wasn't able to make reservations on the app either. I got as far as choosing times but kept getting an 'error has occurred' message or nothing happened at all when I went to confirm button.

I phoned Princess and they said no problem we can do it for you....no they couldn't.. they managed to book for the first night and then they also got error message same as me. They said it would be escalated and to try again in a few days. 

Later I tried again and still not working so I decided to try booking a different much earlier time than I wanted and it worked! There is then an option to edit reservation and I chose the time I really  wanted and it changed to it. I had to do it separately for each day but we are all booked in now!

Good luck.. the app is a pain... mine keeps changing me from green to yellow lane and back again!

How many days before your cruise is it possible to reserve a table using the medallion app? I have been trying but the app does not respond. Has anyone else had this problem?

Do I have to wait until a couple of weeks beforehand or do I need to contact Princess?

I am based in the UK.

Thanks for any help.

Are drinks available on Brittania in the Headliners theatre on Seacations?

Are drinks available in the theatre?

Having read the facebook page of Scott Singer - he appears to be a sensationalist

Hi Fanny

Hi Alan, we are taking March 29th 7-day cruise, I think you are on the same cruise as us. We're planning to do private car tour for the 2 of us on the 2nd day in Port Klang. Are you doing your 8 hours tour on 2nd day? what's your plan for 1st day as we arrive Port Klang at 11am?

 

Fanny  from Canada

We are in Port Klang on NCL Jewel in late March and have booked a cab for two  for 8 hours for 450 Malaysian Ringbatts.

We are probably on the same cruise as you and will be doing this tour on the first day as we have read that there can be traffic problems going to Kuala Lumpur and back.

Is it possible to buy dining packages onboard rather than in advance in order to use OBC?

thanks

Alan

Thanks for this information

Will Discovery 2 still go to Havana even though change of name Cuban Fusion?

Hi Mike and Rita

We are also sailing on this cruise.

Our son lives in Singapore so we will spend a few days with him and his lady before and after. I have tried to start a roll call but it is not showing properly yet.

I am researching shore excursions and will be looking for companions to get the price down.

Which terminal do NCL use in Singapore?

Marina Bay Cruise Centre or Singapore Cruise Centre?

Thanks

Alan

We are new to NCL and have a couple of questions.

We are booked on a cruise on 29th March from Singapore - there is no roll call - is this due to the cruise just being added?

There are only 16 shore excursions available for 5 ports - is this usual?

or will more be added later?

Thanks

Alan

My wife is concerned with what to wear on the day time on sea days inside the ship. Will she need cardigans and jumpers?

We are cruising on Discovery 2 in June 2017 and would like to book shore excursions but they are not available yet. How long before the cruise will they become available?

We have received out guest ticket book for our cruise in three weeks time.

As we have booked air travel, transfers and hotels we have Inexchange vouchers for the transfers and hotels.

It states on these vouchers that additional travel information will be sent approximately 30days prior to travel.

I have contacted Customer services UK by e mail and was told that they would arrange for this to be sent separately by email.

We have received nothing a week later.

Now customer services say to take it up with my travel agent.

My travel agent says they know nothing about this and says that there is no other info required.

Do I need any other info?

Thanks

Alan

We are sailing on the Constellation in October and are wondering if the Top Chef night menu is still be used in the MDR. On our last Celebrity cruise it was our least favourite experience.

In the meantime ....

Looks like shallow steps at the First Station, otherwise just typical Old City stone streets

Thanks very much
