I can't remember exactly what time we got off the ship in Belfast, but we took a taxi to Titanic Belfast. We actually got there about 20-30 minutes before it opened. We were one of the first ones in. It was great because we were finished before any of the tours showed up. Tammy

I was on a Hawaii cruise during a Super Bowl. I believe they showed it on the big screen, but they also had a party in one of the lounges. Special food and even ice sculptures that highlighted both teams. It was a lot of fun. However, no commercials. Depending on the game, that is sometimes the best part. Tammy

This past May, we arrived early spent a few days in London. If you'd like to do a little sight seeing, then I suggest taking the tour that stops at Stonehenge and then takes you to the port. That's what we did. The bus picked us up at our hotel. We arrived at the port around 2:00. Tammy

For Belfast, my cousin and I did most of it on our own. When we docked, we took a taxi to the Titanic Belfast. We were there when it opened and had it mostly to ourselves. By the time we were done, it was starting to get crowded. We then walked the Maritime Mile. At one point, we did get on the HOHO to see a few things that were farther away. We had a great time doing this on our own. We did not take a tour of Dublin as we went back there after the cruise. Tammy

Thank you! I was assuming that was the case, but thank you for confirming! Tammy

I'm elite, but this is the first Princess cruise for my travel partner. I have priority shuttle service. Will she be able to go with me, or will we both just need to wait? Thanks! Tammy

Thanks for the information! It is very helpful! Tammy

We are scheduled to dock in Queensferry at 7:00 am. We have a tour scheduled at 1:30. We'd like to go to the Royal Yacht Britannia in the morning. Can someone tell me if this is doable? Their website says they open at 9:30. I did look it up on Google Maps. It's says it is about a 30 minute car ride or a 50 minute bus ride. Does anyone know if there are taxis at the port? Are there also some near the Royal Yacht Britannia? Thanks for any help you can provide! Tammy

Thanks for the tips! I'm actually Elite so free laundry, but would rather not send out my "unmentionables". Plus, this is my travel mate's first cruise so it will be cheaper to do a couple of loads of laundry for her. Tammy

Thanks everyone!

We will be on the Regal in May. Can someone tell me how much it costs to do a load of laundry in the washer and also in the dryer? Do I need coins or can I charge to my medallion? Also, what hours are the laundromats open? Thanks so much! Tammy

Thank you everyone. This information is very helpful! Tammy

I'm trying to find out the best way to get from the Belfast Cruise Terminal to the Titanic Belfast. Is there a bus that we can take from there? If so, are they frequent, and how long is the drive? What about taking a taxi instead? I done some research, but I'm getting mixed messages about the time it takes to get there. Also, does the the Glider bus stop near the Titanic Belfast? Thought this might be a better option to make our way around time after touring Titantic Belfast. Is there also a bus that we can take back to the port from Belfast Central? Sorry for all the questions, but I appreciate any help you can give! Tammy

Yes, just sail date and booking number.

I was in isolation on a cruise in October for 3 days. For the FCC, I waited about a month after I got home. Nothing from Princess. I called, they said I had to file with the travel insurance (which I did purchase through Princess). I have filed the claim, but have not received FCC yet. AON states on their website that they are experiencing a high volume of claims. Plus, it's the holidays so I'm sure they have a lot of people out. I did also file for a prescription I was given (before they got a positive covid test). I did receive back an email asking for some additional information as they are excess over my health insurance. That at least tells me they have looked at the claim. As for laundry, they gave me some soap if I wanted to wash anything in my cabin, but I could still send clothes out. They did state it would be washed in very hot water. I wouldn't send anything that can't take the hotter water. However, if you test negative before the end of your cruise, you could then send your clothes, and they would be washed as normal. I tested positive early on in a 14-day cruise. I was only isolated for 3 days so I still had plenty of time to get my clothes washed. Hope this helps! Tammy
