Thanks for sharing, will be on the Grand over Christmas with my kids and extended family. Email from Princess today outlining some of their Christmas activities. 2 weeks and counting until we board.

Thats awesome Wombat, maybe all those extra staff that were employed are making a difference. I'm sailing at Christmas so didn't want to risk it! And to justify the additional fee we've booked 2 cruises for next year too

I applied for a children's renewal, and a children's new passport in August - paid priority and had them both back in 6 days. For peace of mind it was worth the extra cost for me.

I would like to select my sons profile and add in all of his food allergies (he is 7 so does not have his own phone etc) How do I change the app to allow me to input data as him? Do I need to create a seperate app account for him? I have been able to add his travel documentation etc, security photo and so forth but cannot see how to select him to add his preferences. I have sent a formal list of his allergens to Princess but I would like them on the app. Any help would be great - thank you

Lucky you - we have family on this cruise who arrived for their 1pm check in and were not on board until 430 - seems things went pear shaped pretty quickly. Hope you're enjoying your cruise

Such a shame, we're on Grand over Christmas and I really wanted to get two for my kids.

SOT is actually berthing at North Shore, not in the main waterfront precinct of Geelong, and not as pretty a location. However, The new facilities and infrastructure are amazing, including the option of long term parking (great for a weekend trip to Tassie and something that wasn't possible at Station Pier) The 3 level ramp system will allow for super quick loading and unloading of cars and trucks, and the location supports more cargo moving between the states. It will be a great tourist asset for Geelong and the Bellarine.

Australian cruises are offering bidding - have received the option for our December 2022 cruise 🙂

App store says - We've improved the look and feel of the Princess MedalionClass! Included in this update you'll find simplified app navigation, a quick and easy sign up process and improvements to Dine my way.

Hope your friend is safe and well, these weather events are becoming so much more frequent and so much harsher. And yes to your previous reply - first time I haven't minded being woken through the night by my little one. Poor little one has an ear and chest infection so pretty miserable, but a Disney cruise is cheering me up at least 🙂

My little one woke up around 1:30am crying, got him back to sleep but couldn't sleep myself. Figured I'd jump on the Disney website to double check which cruise and cabin I wanted to book when Australian cruise bookings opened at 8am - surprised to see 'Early Booking Available' when I selected a cruise. Figured I'd get to the end of the booking and it would say I wasn't eligable ( not a previous cruiser) but nope - all went through successfully. Booked a 4 night cruise from Melbourne. Feeling very sorry for all those that have tried to book from 8am this morning, looks like a disaster.

@Kaylacool There is a role call for this cruise if you'd like to join - quite a few CC people will be on the cruise. I am travelling with my husband and 2 kids, as well as my parents, and my in laws. We have done a Christmas cruise on RCL and loved it, looking forward to this cruise!!!!
