Cool Cruiser

Cool Cruiser (2/15)

  1. I love your Live. Should I understand that the movement is felt on deck 6 more than the upper levels? I’m asking since we have a cove balcony for our cruise in June. Need to know what to expect. Thanks.
  2. Thank you memoak and cr8tiv1 for answering my question.
  3. Can you tell me what is now Princess policy for days in isolation due to Covid ? Is there any OBC or FCC and is anything you have to do in order to get it? Thank you !
  4. I think you did not follow when several members asked recently if you can bring water on a cruise that starts in Sydney. I don’t want to argue with anyone about water. But I hope you know that on this cruise the information is that you need to take on shore only original water bottles. And you can’t preorder them. Before you are on the ship you don’t know if there are available there. With temperatures around 80 degrees these days, for some having water is important. It is not about few $. Another question without answer was about embarkation lunch since this was a port day( the cruise started in Auckland few days earlier). That was the point.
  5. Sorry. I mean Allegro not Alfredo.
  6. I did not have any questions when I posted earlier. This is what happened on Sunday and should answer the questions on embarkation time, embarkation lunch and how to bring drinking water on the ship. Steelers36, you answered questions that I had in the past, but if you are not on RP now you don’t know that on this sailing breakfast and lunches are in Alfredo and not in Concerto dining room. I am elite and I know what is the “ embarkation lunch” ( shrimps and avocado, salmon…) I was in Woolworths on George street to get water. Maybe was not big enough but looking for water was not the main point in being in Sydney. And the trip to the port was more than few minutes longer but I guess is expected for taxi driver to overcharge foreigner tourists. I mentioned this only because I don’t know when exactly the embarkation process started. But as I said we were on the ship before noon.
  7. I am now on Royal Princess cruising from Sydney to Auckland. Since I asked few questions regarding this cruise that seemed different from other cruises I took, I want to update : We were told embarkation at 3pm and then it changed to 2 pm. We checked out from our hotel at 11 and took a taxi to the port. Being on Sunday we were told that we had to take a different longer route to the pier. Were able to leave the baggage right away. There were people in a line and others sitting on some benches. We chose the line since there were no sitting places anyway. But after maybe 5 minutes the line started to move quickly and before we knew it we were on the ship few minutes before noon. The “embarkation lunch” was served in Alfredo . Since we were not able to preorder water, I got 2x1.5 litters bottles in a bag and sent them with the suitcases. They arrived ok. I also had few small bottles with us and they did not cause any problems. At one supermarket we went in Sydney I did not see packages of 6/12/24 smaller water bottles. I hope that this can be useful to some future cruisers.
  8. We received notification that the embarkation in Sydney for the Royal Princess February 18th cruise will start at 3 pm in place of 12 pm. Can anyone who received such a notification for a previous cruise tell me when in fact the embarkation started? Can you wait in the terminal or you are not allowed to? Thank you.
  9. Thank you very much. I did reserve the window suite with $1600 deposit but I just wanted to know if I should be able to make the change while on board. I will go right away to buy the FCD and change the reservation. We had a window suite before but it was booked after the final payment and that is why I did not know what happens when only the deposit is needed. Of course we liked the suite perks 🙂
  10. Can you tell me if a window suite can be reserved with 2 FCD, or it is necessary a larger deposit. There is a promotion today for $100 deposit but it was not possible to use. However I will be on a ship in 2 weeks and was wondering if I can change the reservation after getting 2 FCD. Thank you.
  11. Thanks for answering my questions. I did not think that passengers need to clear Australian emigration. Now I understand why is the delay. The cruise was offered as Sydney to Auckland. It was also one Auckland to Auckland that will start few days earlier and we booked first, but then decided that is better even that the cruise is shorter since we have more time to visit both Sydney and Auckland .
  12. We are going to embark in Sydney on a cruise that starts few days prior from Auckland. The embarkation is supposed to starts at noon, but I was wondering if we should plan for an earlier start for our cruise since probably there are not (many) people who will debark in Sydney. Also, is it going to be an embarkation lunch or the dinning room will be closed since for many passengers it is a port day. Thank you !
  13. Thank you very much for answering my question. I hope that we will be able to exchange the elite minibar for water to have before finding a supermarket.
  14. We can’t preorder water for an Australia and NZ cruise, but we can for a Mediteranean one. Are there in these countries any laws about this? I assume that we also can’t bring water bottles with us on bord. Thanks
