Looking for suggestions on one or more days excursions from Toyko prior to our cruise from Yokohama in April 2025. Thank you for any feedback that you can provide.

We are on the Ascent in September 24, and our TA already assigned us early dining. However, it is unclear whether we have been assigned to a specific dining room. Will we be assigned a specific dining room prior to cruise or upon boarding, or can we choose which restaurant we want to go to within late dining time frame?

Can onboard credit be used to purchase excursions and specialty dining reservations prior to the cruise or just used once onboard ship for the cruise?

NCL Jade will also use older Panama locks.

How crowded do the laundry rooms get? What is the best time(s) to try and access laundry machines?

I have a guaranteed mini-suite on an upcoming cruise. I received an email from Princess 60 days prior to cruise embarkation that I could bid for an upgrade. Prior to this (at 80, 75 and 70 day marks), I just received a response to check pack closer to cruise.

I'm sure that this question is answered somewhere in past posts, so if you can point me to the appropriate post(s) that would be appreciated. If not, and clarification would be appreciated. Thank you in advance. Q: We book a cruise under the former Plus Package almost 2 years ago when it was first offered. Can someone please clarify the differences between the old and new Plus Packages and what we are still entitled to under the old Plus Package.

As long as I don't have to make lunch, I'm good!

We will be sailing on the Coral Princess out of Brisbane in early march and would be interested in any recent reviews from Coral Princess passengers. We've only sailed 2 times previously on Princess, with the Ruby Princess (pre-COVID) and Majestic Princess (post-COVID), both out of Sydney. The cruise on the Ruby Princess was fantastic, but the cruise on the Majestic Princess (early 2023) was very disappointing. We has gravitated since towards larger HAL ships, but we decided to give Princess another try. We always look positively going on a cruise, since all cruise lines have their positives and negatives, so are fingers are crossed. Thank you in advance for your feedback.

We are book on the Accent in September 2024, and I was looking for first impressions of people who have sailed on vessel. We have only sailed on Celebrity once back in 2002 on the Infinity. We truly enjoyed the Infinity, but I'm sure Accent is a much larger vessel and Celebrity cruises have evolved significantly since 2002.

Can you sign up for Chef's Table in advance using app or do you have to wait until you board the ship?

I don't see this post-cruise excursion on-line for our cruise. Did you book your excursion prior to cruise or while on cruise?

Our cruise on the Coral Princess disembarks in Brisbane on March 29, 2024. However, our flight back to the United States does not depart until 10 pm that evening. As such, we are looking for any suggestions on what to do during the day until our flight departs. Any ideas on any day group or private excursion companies from cruise terminal and returning to Brisbane Airport, or other options? Thank you in advance for your insights.

I prefer the princess Club class mini-suite, except for the bathroom. I like the shower stall much better on the HAL Vista suite.

We are on the same cruise around Australia but in March next year.

We are booked in March 2024 on the Coral Princess for a 27-day cruise circling Australia out of Brisbane. We have several winery excursions booked, and we are looking to purchase several bottles of wine - not to drink on board but to bring home. Can we simply turn them in upon reboarding ship after excursion (booked through Princess) and claim them after cruise or do we need to pay a corkage fee even though we do not plan to consume them on board? Of course, if we find an outstanding winery, we will likely have some shipped home directly.

Princess just revised out cruise itinerary for March 2024 to replace the port call at Broome with Exmouth. Any feedback on the port and/or excursions available in Exmouth based on past cruise experiences?

I have the same question. Only going on our 3rd Princess cruise but have never used self-service laundry. However, we will be on a 27-day cruise that will require the use of self-service laundry.

On recent cruise on the Nieuw Statendam, we found that if you will consistently be at the Club Orange restaurant at given time each evening (normally early after opening), the Matre'd would "unofficially" say a table. However, this was not Princess' policy.

Any idea when her next overhauling/drydocking is scheduled for? We sail on the Coral Princess this coming March 2024.

Had a very disappointing Princess cruise out of Sydney Australia this past February, but we are giving Princess one more change with a cruise around Australia this coming March. However, with the recent changes to Plus package, we are thinking of just cancelling outright before final payment is due. Too many other cruise line options.

Are the laundry rooms open 24 hours a day? Any suggestions on the best time to access washer/dryer?

I apologize, since I'm sure that this question has been asked previously. However, I have terrible search skills, and we are on a 27-day cruise around Australia on the Coral Princess in March 2024. What is Princess' current price for a bag of laundry? Does Princess normally run specials for a bag of laundry?

I apologize, since I'm sure this question has been asked before. Is a clothes steamer authorized to being onboard in your luggage?

We are booked on the Encore out of Athen and booked a 2 night pre-cruise stay. Has anyone had any experience with Cruise line representative not present after leaving baggage / Customs? We had a bad experience with another cruise line where no representative was present after our flight.
