Kuranda is about 30 km from Cairns. As for transportation - the Kuranda train is popular and departs from Cairns Railway Station which is about a twenty minute walk from the Cruise Ship Terminal. You could hire a car or go on a ship's tour - Visiting Kuranda

 

There is a cruise ship skyrail/train tour offered by the Kuranda skyrail we ebsite with pickup very close to ship.

The skyrail/train combo is sold out on their website, so only alternative is expensive ship excursion.  If you had to choose to do just one (skyrail or train) which would you choose?

Never mind as the Kuranda website now has a cruise tour listed for almost half of the Princess price.

On line go to order history to find out times....

Seem to be locked out of my cruise planner for both cruises, so I called in to take advantage of sales for internet....pathetic webmasters/website...

As a compromise, my wife uses a rollator (walker with four wheels and a seat)...no problem since it folds...

In December on Allure, someone came up to us as we exited the shuttle and upon seeing my wife with a walker, he immediately brought over a wheel chair. He accompanied us all the way to the gangway, where a crew member pushed the wheel chair onto the ship. Departure was another story. We were able to get assistance off the ship with a wheel chair, but waited for ever for the disorganized staff to get from upstairs hall to downstairs customs. They were taking one or two at a time and each time it took almost 30 minutes. I finally said, I would take her myself, and someone came over and assisted us.

If you already have a cruise booked and need to access the Cruise Planner, Online Check-in, Shore Excursions, luggage tags, etc, it looks like you can still do that thru the regular website https://www.royalcaribbean.com/ and click on the dropdown ALREADY BOOKED. This worked for me, even tho I still cannot log in thru the dreaded blue screen.

still cannot get to cruise planner by any method...

Finally got in, but cannot access cruise planner...

Thank you

Good morning,

We are booked on the September 29 5 day Bermuda cruise. We would like to set up our dining reservations but do not want them to conflict with the entertainment schedule (e.g., We Will Rock You). Anyone have a recent schedule for the five day Bermuda cruise? Thank you in advance.

Playbill.com has discounted tickets

We will be first time cruisers on Royal's Harmony of the Seas. We have sailed on Carnival, but these pay for restaurants are confusing to me. Do they all cost money for lunch and dinner? I was assuming most would only be open for dinner and not lunch.

We had lunch at Chops on Allure. It cost around $20. It seemed to be available only on sea days...We are going on a September cruise on Anthem and the same cost and sea days are available.

On our December Allure cruise, we made reservations about a month before departure. Many of the times were already taken and we opted for 5:30...

On the 14th deck there is a "card" room with a couple of computers as well. It always seemed quite quiet when we walked by it...

We were on the Allure December 10-17. There was a tree lighting ceremony mid cruise.

On the Allure, out of Fort Lauderdale, there was CNN, MSNBC(International), Fox, BBC, SKyNews, movies for $11.99 each, a couple of random tv shows, travel station, ESPN Caribbean 1 and 2, and RCCL advertisements.

On our recent cruise on Allure there was a rabbi who conducted Hanukkah services each night. Also, upon request, there were latkes in the MDR...

Absolutely love the Allure, but the ABC islands are wonderful. I would pick the itinerary that goes to the ABC islands...

We were also on this cruise. We experienced no problem with the staff. In fact, our room steward was fantastic (as were his towel animals) and our server at the MDR was personable and efficient. We did not experience any rudeness. About the only real criticism was the chaos in the terminal upon leaving (they could not get their act together on getting the wheelchair people off in a proper order). Nevertheless, we had one person just take matters into her own hands and got us off quickly...

I have seen this sort of thing advertised; usually they will dim lights in an area for an hour or so to reduce light pollution. can't remember if it was RCI or Princess, but definitely has been advertised on a cruise. You may find areas on the walking track shielded from like as well to look out at night.

Princess....

I am unfamiliar with RCCL internet package and want to know if it is possible to buy it per day on the ship. I have no need for a 7 day package nor streaming...Thanks in advance. I will be on the Allure in December.

Just curious if MSNBC is also on as a fair alternative to Fox?

We, three of us, are taking the train from Gatwick to Southampton at a cost of about 10 pounds/person (less than $40 total). I cannot imagine it is more than a few pounds from the train station to either hotel or cruise port. You can check at Southern Railway...

If you have Verizon you can check on their plan which essentially totally migrates your plan overseas fo $10 a day (only the days you use it). For example on days we use to call back to the states, we get unlimited calling.
