After I pay for corkage fees at check in for additional bottles I will be carrying on, how will they know in the dining room that the corkage fees have been paid already when I bring them to dinner or do I have to pay again?

Do the CB self laundry washer and dryers take quarters or do you buy tokens with your cruise card?

Thanks, I guess I'll get some extra pool towels to line our chairs when we're out there!

I faxed my request in last Wednesday (the day before Thanksgiving) and mine hasn't shown up on my cruise personalizer yet. In the past speaking for myself, it's taken as quick as a day and as long as 2 weeks.

Has the soot problem on the Regal for the aft facing cabins been resolved? I just received C740 as my assigned cabin for my March voyage, an aft facing cabin. Just wondering if I should request a change in cabins or keep it.

Has anyone used the Bags to Go luggage delivery service from FLL to their cruise ship? I'll be flying in on an early morning flight to get on the Regal Princess in February and want to go explore Fort Lauderdale without my luggage before getting on the ship but I'm a little paranoid that our luggage will not get to the ship. Any good or bad experiences with BTG would be appreciated.

Good to know, thanks!

Thanks, that's great news. Yes, there would just be one substitution. I'm just hoping I don't have to do it!

My friend and I are booked on the Star Princess in November and I just found out that there's a slight chance I may not be able to go. Would Princess allow me to have another person go in my place? I'm sure there would be some cost involved but that's ok. Just curious if it's possible.

I also stayed at the Sheraton just a few weeks ago and it was perfect. The rates were very good compared to neighboring downtown hotels. We took the light rail train to and from Seatac airport to downtown which stops one block from the Sheraton and it's only $2.75 per person. There are areas to put your luggage and the ride was about 40 minutes.

Will I be ok with a black suit, white shirt and black necktie in the dining room the evening of the black and white gala? I'd rather not pack the tux as we will continue traveling after the cruise. Thanks in advance.

Thanks!

I'll be on the QM2 docked in Boston on the 4th of July until after midnite. Anyone know if we will be able to see the fireworks show from the ship?

Thanks! I guess I'll leave the card in the slot when I leave for dinner just to be sure.

I just got off the Grand on Sunday and was wondering if there is a new evening turndown policy. On all of my previous cruises the room steward would know my dining time and come in to turn down my bed, leave chocolates, pick up towels etc. aotomatically but on this cruise the only times I had the evening service was when I would leave the placard out to clean my cabin. No big deal, just wondering. I was going to ask the room steward but never ran into him.

The owner of Asia Garden aka New Asia was indicted yesterday along with senator Leland Yee for knowingly buying and reselling stolen booze plus the place was filthy last time I was there. Try Great Easten on Jackson St. or Cityview just outside of Chinatown on Commercial Alley.

Just got off a couple of weeks ago and it was PokerPro only.

I was on the same cruise as mreasier and one of our dinner mates freaked out the night her modem was installed. She thought aliens were taking over the Sapphire when the light show came on in the middle of the night LOL!!

That's great, thanks for the responses. I'll be back on board by 3:30. GO NINERS!!!!!!!

Lucky me will be on the Sapphire this coming Sunday docked in Ensenada until 5pm. Will I be able to watch the 49er/Seahawks game from the ship that will be broadcast on Fox Sports at 3:30 pacific time?

Thanks for all the replies. I love the fact that I can bring on additional bottles of vino for $15 per bottle. Just wanted to make sure I didn't have to pay again in the dining room. Thanks for clearing this up and CHEERS!

I know I am allowed to bring on one bottle at no charge and additional bottles by paying a $15 per bottle corkage fee up front. My question is will I have to pay an additional $15 corkage fee if I bring those bottles that I've already paid the initial corkage fee to the dining room? I get conflicting answers when I called Princess.

Thanks for the beach info SBAnt. Ledbetter Beach sounds perfect for an afternoon beach jaunt after a morning of exploring Santa Barbara on 10/25. Weather forecast is for perfect for some beach time!

Is there a nice beach to hang out at close to where the tender boats dock?
