I have a suite guarantee now. The ship departs 12/3/23. There are lots of open high end suites available. Can I bid? I went to the location which indicates my reservation isn’t eligible. I have contacted the department to find out why. It was just paid in full to my TA so maybe the funds haven’t been received.

I get it. Shouldn’t be a big deal. We put ourselves midway between the elevator and the stairs outside the Haven.

That’s what we were hoping. Thanks

Booked in Haven. Can we take stairs to 16 and use key to access the Haven area? thanks

I just read that unlimited bottled still and sparkling water is included. No mention of brand(s)

I worked for Carnival/Princess for 6 years as pier supervisor. It was a real hoot. Now I just travel and usually not from here, but we have been precluded from any serious travel for a couple of years, but starting now we are officially ready to start up again! Our neighborhood has a group of 24 cabins going on this trip. I agree with the same port situation from here. Although in April Princess did a Panama Canal transit from Galveston. Princess is also coming back this year, the Regal. Enjoy your trip and thanks for your insight!

Nice visual - at this time there is nothing listed as offer upgrades on my Summary. It goes straight from Shore Excursions to Dining. I will keep an eye out. We already have the free at sea. We are doing the Prima end of January and have never sailed NCL before. Trying to get the hang of their system. 😉 We live in Galveston and were scheduled to do that one last year from Galveston to FL but someone..... had a bad medical emergency problem and had to cancel. I will keep checking back to see if that upgrade pops up. I would rather do it online than mess with it later.

How long are the FCC's good for?

thanks for that quick reply - I do not see that as an option as we have the "other pkg" and there is no Upgrade option, just a purchase. I haven't made final payment yet, but it is due next week. Maybe it will magically appear at that time.

great information - how do we upgrade to the Premium pkg? can i do that ahead of time or only onboard?

Yes I had a gastrointestinal problem a few years back and it tested negative for norovirus but was placed under quarantine. My “virus” required a couple of injections from the ships medical staff so they were definitely in the know. They took great care of me.

Thanks! I guess it depends on if people report it to the ship staff.

Yes, quarantine. Thanks

With the uptick in cases has anyone heard of isolation happening?

Any idea when those may pop up for booking? Thanks!

I was actually looking in New Town. Will post if I have any I have identified.

Which parts of town should I look at? There are so many options and we are fine using public transport. Looking for a nice 4 star hotel.

Looking for suggestions for pre cruise hotels, prefer close to old town. Thanks

Do you have to be quiet? Or is chatting allowed.

I am searching the Princess site and don’t see this anywhere. I forwarded to my agent to see if she can find out if I qualify. Booked Dec 17 th so it’s within the timeframe and my military credit shows. But is just says Plus is included.

Wanted to find out if anyone has found gluten free options in Sabbatini’s.

When are you able to make the specialty dining reservations? We sail in 91 days and I don’t see an option to reserve.

Yes you can

Any idea about the Havana rooms on deck 5 with the outdoor seating area which really isn’t a balcony?

Thanks!!
