Have to test for my August 27 cruise then no test for my two 2023 cruises unless something changes.

For the 3 day sale, was it only for America cruises 2022 & 2023? Looking at 2024 Hawaii.

When I went on the train, we had to hold up our passports up as a Canadian immigration officer passed by. He saw my Canadian passport and said “welcome home”.

Thanks, I want to be prepared

My cruise is in Canadian $. We are Elite and Platinum. I just booked a 32 day Hawaii & South Pacific. I did not book with Plus as we do not drink alcohol. We will purchase separate tips, soda package and WiFi before we sail. I logged on MedallionClass app under my name and also my friend’s, it shows for Medallion Net - 1 device - $412.48 4 devices - $825.28 I presume the price is in Canadian $. It looks like it is cheaper to purchase the 4 devices or the both of us.? I wonder how the WiFi will be working on this cruise?

Thanks

Thanks. How is the hotel’s restaurant for breakfast and dinner?

We are returning Canadian and will do ArrIveCAN. I have never done a connecting flight before. We have Air Canada flights (on the same ticket) - Anchorage to Vancouver - 3 hour layover in Vancouver - Vancouver to Toronto My luggage will tagged to go direct to Toronto. We will go through Canadian Immigration/Customs in Vancouver. Once we get off the plane. We use a kiosk for Canadian Immigration/Customs like in Toronto? Do we have have to go through security screening again? Is there a passage way to go connecting planes?

I use EzAir for all my flights. There are cheaper than booking direct with the airline. - No payment until cruise final payment - Can modify or cancel without $ penalty up to 45 days before your cruise - If cruise is cancel, will get money back - If airline changes/cancel EzAir will help work it out - EzAir will help get you to your next port if you miss the plane

First time flying to LAX and cruising out of San Pedro. Is there a hotel in San Pedro that is close to the port for one night before a Princess cruise that you can recommend?

From the new schedule, my cruise on the Majestic August 31 is still sceduled for Skagen at RRA.

Thanks for the pictures. It gives me an idea of the cabin. We are 2 ladies so have twin beds. I am wondering if it is covered for shade as I can’t sit in the hot sun. I have a choice of one on these cabins or an aft cabin facing the wake. Choices to have?

It looks like the Sapphire cabins D736 or D737 (B4 category) have a bigger balcony 354 sq ft bigger than other B4 cabins at 277 sq ft. and go around the corner. Are they covered? Has anybody been in either of these cabins? How did you like the cabin?

My agent ay 9:30 EST called to say that she had talked to Princess and the 32 day cruise I wanted had not been loaded yet.

You had the same cabin booked for your B2B. Some people are not able to book the same cabin so have to move to another cabin for the next cruise.

I had B2B (May 28-June 4 and June 4-11) out of Southampton. I had to have Covid test to get on the ship May 28. I asked Guest Services 2x, if I had to have a Covid test for the second cruise June 4, “No, you would need to have a test if the country you are going to needs a test to enter”.”Princess required you to have a Covid test to get on the ship for the first cruise and you are still on the ship”. Southampton was treated a a regular port day. I received a “In Transit “ card to show if I had got off the ship. During the week, I received a letter explaining about turnaround day. I had the same cabin, so nothing to do. I stayed on the ship. See if you can change your cabin to have the same cabin for both cruises.

You have to have flights after 1:30pm on disembarkment day to be able to take that post Princess excursion. EzAir will be available 335 days from your disembarkment day. Example my disembarkment day is Nov 23, 2023 and EzAir will be available Dec 28, 2022. Book Flexible flights, payment is at final cruise payment, can check prices and modify (GREEN SECTION) if cheaper or better flights up to 45 days without $ penalty. Book your post Princess excursion after you have booked your flights. On embarkment day, you should receive all your excursions tickets usually on your bed. The ticket will tell the time and place to meet for your excursion. You will receive a colour sticker for your group and Coach at the meeting place. For post cruise excursion, you will receive a colour luggage tag for your luggage to be put on the night before disembarkment day. You need something (some kind of carry on luggage) to put night items, passport, and other items for the next day which you keep with you. Your excursion ticket will tell you time and where to meet. You NEED your Medallion to exit the ship. Once off the ship, find the section for your colour luggage tag area, pick up your luggage. Exit the building with your luggage. Find the Coach with your colour sticker . If the airport has different terminals, might sure you are on the right coach for that terminal. The driver will put your luggage under the Coach. You will have your tour. At the airport, the driver will unload all the luggage. Go into the airport. Princess offers transfers with no excursions - on embarkment day - Coach from airport to ship on disembarkment day - Coach from ship to airport

Following along. I enjoyed your Princess review.

Thank you very helpful

I stayed at Premier Inn Central (Eastern Ferry Terminal) in Dover. We took the meal plan - breakfast and dinner. A short taxi to the dock. Walk through their parking lot and you are at the water front. We could see our ship in the morning. We took a taxi to/from Dover Castle.

I have gone back into Uber app. I saw the different size cars. Didn’t go further as didn’t want to be charged or order a car. What is the difference of Uber and Uber Black I don’t think a car size will work. There will be 3 ladies 3 - large suitcases (25/26 in) 2 - carryon (19 in) Which be better to order ? UberXL x4 or UberXL x6

I am on the Majestic August 27 out of Vancouver to Whittier. Our Vancouver leaving time, Ketchikan and Juneau port times have all changed. My booked Ketchikan Princess excursion was automatically changed by Princess to a later time. I am waiting to see what happens for Skagway. My Princess excursion still shows the same time. Check your excursions under Excursions on your Princess account, that was where I found the new excursion time. Previously, I had a Princess excursion booked for Skagway (suspension bridge) and it was cancelled due tour operations. Princess automatically put me into another excursion with no extra cost. On my May Scandinavia cruise on the Sky, , my first port excursion was cancelled and we didn’t get any notification until we got on the ship. We got a refund of OBC on our cabin account. Thankfully there were a few excursions left to choose from and the OBC was used.

On other ships there is Alfredo’s Pizzeria or another name beside the pizza place poolside on Lido deck. Is there another pizzeria place beside the poolside one?

I stay at Premier Inn West Quay, Southampton with a bar and restaurant. A short taxi from Southampton National Express Coach or train station and a short taxi ride (under £10) to the dock. Close to West Quay shopping mall for last minute items. I have stayed at Premier Inn Waterloo (Westminster Bridge) in London. Hotel has a bar and restaurant, close to. Thamas river, London Eye, Hop On Hop Off buses, regular bus, 2 tube stations, Parliament, Westminster Abbey, Waterloo train station, pubs, restaurants. If traveling to Southampton on embarkment day, check out International Friends. They pick you up from certain London hotels, stop at Stonehenge then drop you off at Southampton dock. They go on disembarkment days to Salisbury, Stonehenge, Windsor then drop you of at certain London hotels, LHR hotels and LHR (good if you have very late flights).
