I had a booking direct with Hyatt for Feb and March, 2024.  Valuetrips is cheaper than the direct price. One of my dates is blacked out.

I also have bookings for the same dates with Best Western Oceanside with a Manager Special price and their price is cheaper than Valuetrips this time.

I won’t be changing my bookings.

Thanks

I will be flying from Toronto and meeting my sister from Montreal at Vancouver airport before our cruise.

I was thinking of meeting her in the luggage pickup area.

At the Toronto airport, there are no seats in the luggage area until you go through the exit doors with your luggage.

Are there seats in the luggage area or will there be seats in another area to meet her?

When I want to know the price of a whole cruise online, I go all the way to pay.

Before I was able to see and get a price -  

find a cruise

choose an itinerary 

number of passengers 

Choose a location 

pick a cabin

passenger information 

transfer

Princess Vacation Protection (PVP)

Put on hold, deposit or pay in full

Now I don’t see where you can get the price for transfer, PVP or put a cabin on hold.

Do you have to call in to get the information?

Wonder if any information on the old MedallionClass app will be lost when the new app comes in effect?

I have been on the Celebrity and Princess.  I would like to hear about your comparison.

if you post on a separate thread, can you post where you have posted it.

If I stay a few days, I have stayed 7x at Best Western Oceanside, 100 yards to beach, pool, free hot breakfast, bar that sells food, refrigerator, microwave, bus ($1 for seniors) outside the hotel, walking distance to water taxi, walk along water front to restaurants, $ washer/dryers, friendly staff.

No shuttle to hotel, (about $30-35 by taxi),can put your name down for $ shuttle to Port Everglades.

In the Island the specialty cakes in the buffet where they service regular desserts.

For the Plus ice cream dessert, I ask for the wrapped suckers and 1 scoop of ice cream with chocolate sauce in a glass.

Milkshakes ($7 if paying) are included in the Plus package.

I have stayed 5x at Premier Inn Waterloo (Westminster Bridge).  I take a twin room - 1 double bed and a day bed.  I always take Premier Inn’s twin rooms as we are 2 senior ladies that travel together.

Hotel has A/C, bar, restaurant, close to London Eye, Westminster Abbey, Parliament, Thamas river, HOHO, regular bus, 2 tubes station, Waterloo train station, pubs, restaurants, stores.

OP here,

I ordered from the app some sandwiches today:to be delivered to my cabin.  I asked the room server where to put the dirty plates, “ outside your cabin door.  I can only deliver clean food plates, someone else will pick up the dirty plates”.

Is there a charge for the craft making?

I used YYZ Express going through security at Toronto Nov 7 to Rome.   No wait in security line.  Can fill in airline, flight, date up to 72 hours before flight.

Princess is releasing 2025-2026 Australia itineraries soon.

Any idea when the rest 2026 will be released?

Any news when other 2026 itineraries will be released

Presently on the Island doing 14 day Mediterranean.

It was mentioned here, that the stores on the ship were not giving out paper bags with purchasing.

On the Island, paper bags given out with purchases.

I ordered food from the app to be deliver to my cabin.  I called room service where do I put my dirty dishes.  I was told “outside your cabin door”, there were picked up a short time later

Well, that's about the right amount for something like that...but we haven't missed any ports!

 It might be a change in price for the port/tax

3 hours ago, Rick&Jeannie said:

Yes, we have it on our account as well. $19.24

It might be a port/tax refund?

Following along

I book Princess EzAir Flexible (no payment until Cruise final payment, can modify up to 45 days of flight) when the flights are released 330 days of disembarkment day.

I watch EzAir prices and modify if the price goes down.  I also watch the airline price.  Near final payment for EzAir/cruise, I check airline price and EzAir price and take which is cheaper.

I request some help/suggestions - my husband and I walked off the ship this morning early and caught a taxi from the stand outside the terminal back to the hotel where we stayed pre-cruise to pick up our vehicle. 
 

My husband left his wallet in the cab. Neither of us has any idea what cab company it was. I already called the hotel but no one had turned it in. 
 

Broward Sheriff’s deputies appeared to be managing the flow of passengers to the cabs. I thought I would contact them to

obtain the names of the cab companies present so I could start calling around.

 

Any other suggestions are greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance. 

You might want to post if Port of Call - Florida.  Someone from FLL might have taxi names.

I am flying return Toronto to Rome in November.  I asked my friend who is an AC pilot if they are going to strike in November.  He replied “ if they strike, it won’t be until next year, could be like March if they do”.

My friend said “could be March” . You never know with strikes, they might settle before a strike happens.

I wonder if they'll target the March break, Monday, March 11 to Friday, March 15.

Anything is possible, March break is the busiest time at the airport.

Princess use to give out blue bags in each cabin.  I have a few in my suitcase.  

I will be on the Island.  The Island does not have the International Cafe.

I have read you can get coffee at one of the bars.

Which bar can I get coffee?
