thanks.

Shareholder OBC-can I use it before onboard to book shore excursions if I call?

There was activity a number of nights in the Centrum after dinner on the Vision last year in Europe. But, if you got a twosome chair seating on the 5th or 6th floor, you could look down and people watch and still chat/read as the noise was not that loud. One night was silent disco--as in total silence. It is fairly quite in the Windjammer, as not many people use it for dinner esp. later. Open until 9.

We've had many sailings on both. Decide if Glacier Bay is a must. If so, do Princess. For DH and I, we enjoy the bit more elegant Princess and would choose over RCCL except for newer larger RCCL ships, which we enjoy a lot for variety and top entertainment. When adding our young adult kids, we only consider RCCL and NCL, and (oddly) Disney (which has great venues for the young 20s), and possibly Celebrity as it has a bit "hipper" vibe than Princess, in various small pocket bars and entertainment choices. Princess as others have stated doesn't have enough "fun/young" stuff. Holidays and cruises during school breaks tend to have more kids on Princess than other times. RCCL has more kids/young adults all times.

quick call to Cunard resolved--Cunard anytime dining confirmation on TA invoice inadvertently changed to 2nd seating.

thanks. We emailed. I'll call Cunard next week. Sailing not until August.

How do I know Shareholders OBC has been applied? Can I see online with Cunard? Do I get an email? Do I need to call Cunard? We submitted a week ago. Thanks, Elaine

how about anyone just using HO HO to get to Acropolis area? easy/good/bad? We're in port 8-8 in late Aug.

thanks. I'm going to hold one to get the cabin and then will call/rebook on Tuesday.

I even tried on phone as well. All show NRD for me. I'll call tomorrow. Weird.

opposite--choose my own is slightly higher and both have NRD. July 26, 2024 island princess.

I do not see a way to choose a refundable deposit when booking a July 2024 European cruise. Anyone know how to book online?

We were told our Rci shuttle is from Tronchetto at 11am. In late Aug. Is that not correct?

Has anyone done Athens-Hop On bus from port to Athens, then to a beach? We want to go to Acropolis, see Parthenon, then take the HOHO to a beach for a few hours and back to ship. Good/bad experiences with HO HO to/from Athens (crowds in summer/ issues with getting on)? And anyone done the "beach loop?" We are in port 8-8 in late Aug.

not on our Amex Delta cards.

Wondering What is "Focus" area deck 3 Explorer/Nav/Voyager? And does that make the cabins/hallway adjacent noisy, crowded with people waiting, traffic, etc.?

Thanks. Can we change the 1st night if it is too late (for medical reasons)?

Do you make those dining reservations in advance? Winch as at 90 days out?

So we just show up when we want to eat? Is there the option to make advance reservations for a specific time? What time are the shows/entertainment in the evening? Is there a main and late show? Is it the same offering?

Popping this to the top. Any more reports about how Open dining is working?

Thanks. Yes we are taking the coach. Due to possible traffic delays, we’d plan to arrive around 1pm.

We went on an excursion to Blarney castle and enjoyed walking the gardens and viewing the castle ruins. We did not stand in line to kiss the stone.

What happens if we arrive in advance of time. Do we wait until the specified time or could we board early?

Hi, new to cruising with Cunard. I am almost at 90 days out. How do I get my boarding pass? Can I choose my arrival time?

how much is the Cunard transfer to StP?
