  1. I came and searched for this exact question. We are doing the same cruise, but not until August 2024. The Military Tattoo is a bucket list item for me - and I've read it sells out fast. So, I keep checking. Good luck!!
  2. You didn't lead me astray. 🙂 I have not booked yet. I was doing mock bookings online, myself directly on Princess's website - to get a budget put together for my traveling partner. I appreciate the suggestions though, as taking the coach at Victoria seemed the easiest option as the hotel I want is close to it. So - perhaps my TA can book it. . . or perhaps my options will change once it is booked. Regardless, it gives me hope. Worst case, I arrange it myself. So thank you again.
  3. Thank you. I went back and looked, and it doesn't look like that. No drop down for me. If I try to book 2023 (exact same cruise, ship, etc) it gives me 3 stand alone options with a "bubble" to select, no drop downs. The first screen print is for 2023, the second for 2024. With all the tips, etc. on this thread regarding transfers, I wondered if anyone knew if perhaps the transfers are added later. I'll have the TA ask about them when she books us. Thank you for taking the time to answer, share, etc.
  4. We were planning to do this. Stay at a hotel near the Coach Station. But, when I do a mock booking to get a pricing idea - it only lists transfers from the airport. No Victoria Coach Station option listed. It was an option when I played with 2023, but not for 2024. Do you know if that option appears later? Or if my TA can ask for it specifically? Thank you in advance.
  5. Boxing Day is a holiday celebrated after Christmas Day, occurring on the second day of Christmastide (26 December). Though it originated as a holiday to give gifts to the poor, today Boxing Day is primarily known as a shopping holiday.
  6. Thank you! I just redid a mock booking and the price was much better.
  7. Thank you. I did see where you could select the obstructed view balcony. Not where you could select a package to go with that selection though. Just seems odd, as i could with every other stateroom type. Didn’t know if that was normal.
  8. I guess I didn't make it that far- still debated the increased price. But this is very good to know. I was just surprised it wasn't an option like the other staterooms. Thank you.
  9. I am on the fence, came here to read how other's with more experience w/Princess felt about the offerings today. I had been waiting for the Europe 2024 to open up, as I wanted the British Isle itinerary where we can see the Military Tattoo and get off in LeHavre, and don't see it on any other cruise line. I expected the fares to be higher than 2023, but not this much higher. Also, the cruise package options appear for interior rooms, balconies, mini-suites and suites. But, not for the obstructed view balconies. It would be my first Princess Cruise - so I don't know if this is normal or a glitch.
  10. I have never cruised with Princess before. We were suppose to back in 2014 - but my daughter broke her leg and had to have surgery 2 days before we were suppose to get on the plane for London. Anyhow. We are looking at doing Europe 2024 - the same cruise we had booked back then. So, I appreciate the itinerary, etc. as well as the observation that they generally start high, and (hopefully) have a sale later. Is the process to "re-fare" the cruise an easy one? So, you can snag the cabin you want at the higher price, and then reduce the cost later? Thank you for any information you can share with a Princess new-be. I want Princess as they were the only ones I saw that had an itinerary where we could see the Mililtary Tattoo, and get off the ship in LeHavre to have some time in Paris before flying home.
  11. I am watching for this myself. There is a thread on here with information. People are sharing it should be December 13/14th.
  12. Thank you so much for the information. I will have to check with my daughter and see. An open window and fan would work for me, I'm not sure for her.
  13. Thank you so much for sharing. I had not heard of The Mad Hatter before, I was looking at hotels closer to the Victoria Coach Station. But have to say I LOVE how it looks, the history behind it, etc. Can you tell me if the rooms had a/c in them? We were suppose to go on this cruise in 2014 - when my daughter broke her leg and required surgery 2 days before we were suppose to get on the plane to London. So we ended up cancelling. . .I am just now getting around to replanning it. Loving your report/pics.
