That's a wonderful excursion. We did it on the Coral in 2004

I see all 3 options - Standard, Plus and Premier

I should find out in another week or so when I get my medallion for upcoming Feb cruise!!

We sail on Feb 10 and have seen activities for a few weeks now; enrichment talks, games etc and some entertainment.

We always do this too and never heard that we shouldn't put them off before we even leave our house. Seems like the tags might help your bag get where it needs to be if it does get lost We use the plastic sleeves with the metal rings and they work great

It unscrews. If it's like mine that is. Mine is a cloth band with a plastic medallion holder, got it on Sky Princess in 2021. If you look at the holder from the side you can see where it's split. Twist the top part to the left and it should open. Hope that helps!

They don't have boarding groups anymore. No assigned time to arrive

Yes we start and end in Sydney. I figured Australian Dollars would be best but thank you for confirming it!

We will be on Majestic Princess next month for a South Pacific cruise. We usually tip extra to our cabin steward, for room service etc. Does anyone know if the crew prefers tips in Australian Dollars or US money?

Majestic Princess Feb 10 2024 visiting Fiji ( 3 islands ), Vanuatu and New Caledonia - we can't wait!! 50th anniversary cruise

I had already booked my cruise when a Princess Consultant called me and introduced himself as my personal travel advisor. He explained many things he could help me with and I actually cancelled that original cruise and booked a different one, he was a tremendous help for me when I did that. He booked my EZ Air flights and helped me change seats for one of the flights as well. This is our 7th Princess cruise and I never used a Princess agent before. I have booked with other travel agents and also just booked everything myself. He has been very helpful though. Easy to reach via email and his response time has been excellent.

On the website go to Onboard Services and scroll all the way to the bottom, it will show you everything that is included in whichever package you ordered. In the app, go to luggage tags and documents and keep scrolling. Mine appears right after the excursions I have already purchased. Hope that helps!

We are definitely going to do that!!

Geoff and Barb - we will be in R604 in Feb 2024, 13 day South Pacific cruise. This is our first full suite, we usually book mini-suites. This will be our 50th anniversary cruise too, we can't wait!

We did a partial Panama Canal cruise on the Coral in 2004, we love the ship. We cruised on her again in Alaska in 2019. I much prefer the smaller ships and we loved going through the old locks, really amazing and a definite bucket list cruise!

We ended up cancelling our May 2024 Panama Canal cruise on the Island Princess. I was starting to worry about the drought down there and heard that another cruise line has cancelled all Panama Canal cruises in 2024. I was also worried about the Island Princess itself. I heard that our cruise would be the last one before she goes into dry dock. I started thinking if anything was wrong on the ship, they might not be inclined to fix it since it's going in for dry dock soon. BUT - we are now booked on Majestic Princess for a South Pacific cruise in Feb 2024 and we booked a full suite. This ship has the concierge lounge which will be very close to our cabin. We are really excited for this cruise.. first full suite, first long-haul flight (we booked premium economy), first ever trip to any of the places we'll be visiting and it's our 50th anniversary. Can't wait!

We'll be on Majestic in Feb 2024 for a 13 day South Pacific cruise. This will be our first long flight - 15 hours from LAX - flying premium economy ANZ there and Delta home. This will also be our longest cruise. We'll be celebrating our 50th wedding anniversary and we booked a suite. We can't wait!! Only 108 days till we sail!

Just downloaded the NZ app and have our applications completed, waiting for approval email but it was super easy. Thanks for your help!

We're on the Majestic Princess in Feb 2024 leaving out of Sydney. We do have a 2 hour layover in Auckland NZ before we get to Sydney. I got our ETA's for Australia, do I need something for NZ too?

We did this in 2019 and loved it. We made a brief stop (2 minutes?) for the crew to exchange mail bags and maybe had to wait to enter that last bridge to Whittier but that was it. I don't think there was a good side or bad side, beautiful trip! Enjoy!!!

I ordered a wooden 3-D puzzle from a Facebook ad, I got a box of socks!!! When I contacted them they said they will refund if I ship the socks back to them. No way!! I disputed with my cc company and got my full refund that way.

We have booked our first full suite for our May 2024 cruise. We have always been in mini-suites before and tried Club Class dining for our Alaska cruise in 2019, loved it!! My ranking based on what we are really looking forward to: 1. Large room and large balcony 2. Club class dining 3. MDR room service - especially for breakfast on the balcony 4. Bottled water every day 5. Fruit bowl 6. Laundry service 7. Canapes every evening We don't really care about specialty dining or breakfast at Sabatini's. Not sure if there is a concierge lounge on Island Princess. We didn't have a chance to try the Elite/Platinum lounge on our 2021 cruise on the Sky Princess even though it was our first cruise as Platinum members - maybe we'll get a chance this next time.

@Paula_MacFan Thank you!!!

We just booked the Island for the 15-day Panama Canal Ocean to Ocean cruise for May 2024. We are Platinum level and for the first time ever, we have booked a suite. This will be our 10th cruise, the 7th with Princess. We have sailed on the Coral twice and loved it. Our last Princess cruise was on the Sky. Beautiful big ship but I didn't like it as much as the smaller ships. I found it hard to learn my way around and we spent so much time back-tracking trying to find where we wanted to be. We usually book a mini-suite and were spoiled by Club Class dining for our Alaska cruise on the Coral, looking forward to club class dining again as a suite benefit. This will be our 50th wedding anniversary celebration and already can't wait!! Any other suite benefits you can tell us about we might not be aware of? Thanks in advance!
