Do you have any additional information you can share on the Ocean Medallion you may have received? Maybe from someone who was using one?

Not much, if you reside in the US, you will have them sent to you house. If not from the US, you can pick up from port. With Medallion, checking is easy, no line. It works. Unlock your room the moment you walk to your room. You can order drink from Piazza, using the app. And they will look for you. I did that, worked too. Don’t worry about security picture, they will take your picture when you board the ship.

you have a reminder to bring my visa.. i do not have a visa. i have my alla tour tickets and my passport. i hope this is sufficient.

Just have to print out tour ticket that Alla sent you, present that along with your passport and medallion, the immigration in SPB is very easy. They will stamp your passport and you will be outside.  Upon exit the port, tour meet up is on your right side. SPB is beautiful. I also took tour with Alla. Very nice.

For us, it was the first at sea day and the day at Helsinki, Finland. I think it varies because the agent that checked us in at embarkation told us it’s unusual to have the formal night at Helsinki.

I was sailed from copenhagen. The first formal is the first sea day before Sweden. The second is the sea day between Estonia and Germany.

Can anyone confirm if Princess will provide a shuttle ($$?)   to Helsinki city center?

 

Thank you

We were on Regal and Helsinki last week. Yes, Princess will have shuttle bus $19.95 per person. They will stop at 4 locations (market square, rock church, downtown and the park). There is also a HOHO bus by the port for $30 each, stop at 22 locations.  No need for any tour here. You can very much do everything on your own using shuttle bus or HOHO. Good luck and enjoy your cruise.

I would like to know anyone did Milan DIY. I like to book a day trip from Genoa to Milan, but wonder what to do and see in Milan. Please advise and recommend. Thanks.

Some hotels will even provide free shuttles to the port. If not UberXL.

I believed it was $50 per hour.

Go to Stone Island, rent ATV ride along the beach, then have some seafoods before head back to the ship.
