  1. My cabin mate has the same problem. When she puts in her credit card information that notice shows up. She will turn up at the port and let the agent deal with the problem.
  2. At the port area, there are parrots, flamingo, monkeys, turtles, peacocks that you can walk around and see for free, a gift shop and small snack bar before the exit for the tour buses, taxis.
  3. First cruise we took an excursion at Cartagena. Our second cruise, we walked around the Nature Preserve at the port area. We really enjoyed it.
  4. Next time, try picking a cabin close to the elevator that is what I do now.
  5. Maybe you can help with LauderGo, it is hard to see the area if we can use it. We used to take the free trolley or bus #40 (?) then a long walk to Tom Jenkin BBQ, 1236 South Federal Highway. Can we take the LauderGo to go there? I am staying at Best Western Oceanside, 1180 Sea Breeze. I will only have free phone and WiFi use at the hotel. Last time there, we didn’t see too many taxi going by.
  6. I booked a cruise for Aug 2025 with no FCD and no OBC promo. I am sailing in Feb. I plan on taking out a FCD. While at the Future Cruise desk, I will ask what the price of my Aug 2025 cruise. If it is the same price as I presently have, I will have him book the same cruise and apply the FCD so I get OBC. I will email my agent to cancel my present booking and transfer my deposit over to my new booking and watch for the new booking from the ship.
  7. I have a standard balcony M505 (BC mid aft) on the Regal, it is 250 sq ft compared to other standard balcony in the same category at 222 sq ft. If you go to the ship’s deck plan, click on each cabin it will tell you the square ft of the cabin. Cabins in the same category will have different square ft depending on the cabin location. I think Princess still has their free upgrade promo (upgrade in location not price). I am paying for BF and have BC cabin with the free upgrade.
  8. I have found if you call when Princess phone lines open up in the morning the wait times are not long. If you make any changes (time, price) to your Flexible booking, you will get a new Princess air number and new airline number each time. You will LOOSE your seats, you will have to re add your seats and air line loyalty number.
  9. It was before Covid. Their bus arrived before the Princess buses. We enjoyed our tour. Planning on doing the British Isles cruise again in 2025 and I will be using them again.
  10. I took Butlers Shore Tours Cork (Cobh). www.ecoach.ie
  11. I am wondering if Princess will eventually say they are totally canceling my cruise through Princess with the British TA booking the whole ship.
  12. I called Princess today on another issue. I asked about my Nov 2, 2025, 12 day Canary Island on the Sky which is 674 days out. Today, the Nov 2, 2025 is no longer listed under Plan A Cruise and the Nov 2, 2025 - 28 day shows Sold Out. He said the Sky is going into maintenance and will be selling again after. Why would they not still list it to sell the cabins? I am wondering if the cruise will even sail? I would like to switch to another cruise if not sailing.
  13. Someone on our Roll Call for Sky - Nov 2, 2025 - Canary Island - 12 days, posted this today on the Roll Call. The travel company Imagine Cruising is a British company. Princess now shows Sold Out for the Nov 2, 2025 sailing. Before, you could also book on the Sky a 28 day staring Nov 2 (12 day + 16 days transatlantic), now the 28 day cruise is not listed. If the sailing is sold out to this travel company, when will Princess let us know?
  14. If the main hallway door was closed, I would leave it open and I didn’t hear any noise. I don’t know why people just let the doors go so they slam. There is an automatic door leading into the Lido area so no noise. No noise from the elevator area. You might hear people talking as they walk to their cabin like any hallway. I would take that cabin in a heartbeat. The balcony is angled is bigger. Here are some pictures of the L301 balcony on the Sky. Looking left to Captain Looking down Balcony
  15. On the Island in November, I asked my cabin attendant if I should call room service to exchange my mini bar, he said he would do it, I told him what I wanted exchanged and a short time later he was back with the exchanged items.
  16. Our hotel Hilton Rome Airport offered for €14/one way or €22/return a shuttle into Rome at certain times. We took the return shuttle and took the HOHO. See if your hotel offers a shuttle.
  17. I had L301 on the Sky and loved it. It is an angled balcony so a bigger balcony and covered. It is only a few steps to the elevator, to the Lido entrance to the burger, bar, pizza, pool, hot tubs, buffet, lounge chairs. I did hear noise went the main hallway door was closed and people let the door slam. The next day, I left the main hallway door open each night and never hear any noise after that. Choose a cabin near the elevator not the front cabins as they are a long walk to the elevator. When choosing a dining room, choose deck 5 - Soleil or deck 6 - Estrella they are near an elevator not Cielo deck 6 (the back of the ship), you need to go to deck 7 then walk to back elevator down to deck 6 (only 1 elevator goes to that dining room). I rented a wheelchair for my mom and she could use when she wanted or just to push. The ship are huge and a lot of walking when you have difficulty walking.
  18. I took the post Rome excursion in 2019. I can’t remember the meeting time. On the Island Princess Nov 2023, the post Rome excursion was listed as meeting at 6:30am where you meet to get your excursion sticker. Our post Rome excursion 2019, we picked up our luggage off the ship and walked to the bus. The guide talked along the way to Rome. We all got off the bus and walked with the guide to the Vatican area. She told us time and where to meet as she was not allowed to guide inside. We had plenty of time to see inside. Walked back towards the bus, we stopped along the way for maybe 1/2 hr for anybody that wanted to shop/bathroom/eat/drink then continued to the bus. The rest of the tour was a drive by the different sights. Passengers were dropped off at the train station then the rest at the airport. I got off at the airport as I had the Hilton Rome Airport (hotel attached to the airport through a covered walkway) for the night. Not sure of the actual time we arrived, (early afternoon) we rested then had food (lunch menu as dinner menu doesn’t start until 6pm) at the hotel. The next day we walked to the airport for our flight home.
  19. I stayed at Hyatt Place through ValueTrips in Feb, breakfast was included in the lobby area. There was no one checking.
