Depending on ship. Grand class ships usually hold classes in Club Fusion. Most ships will have sail away parties that may have line dancing...(not classes). I don't know about Royal Class ships. Staying away from the as long as I can. XXXXXXXXXX

I sent my TA a text to just update her on my "communications with chat". She said she would call. Not her job. I told her not necessary, I would eventually find out. She said that she would call to get the "correct' answer. So here it is: Difference will be refunded to my credit card in 10 - 15 days. I will not get it as OBC. I do not need to fill out the form (since I am not onboard and it is not OBC refund). Why couldn't any of the agents give me a direct answer? To be returned to original form of payment.

They have ballroom dance classes offered by either a cruise director staff or dancer. No partner needed, but rarely enough men. On Sea Days...look in the patter. Then they had some line dancing classes at lunch time. Go figure...

@Californian I acquired Korean Wun from friends in Hawaii. They came in handy while visiting the local market place in Jeju. There was an exchange machine at the port with long lines (at every port). I had bilateral knee replacement several years ago. The steps to castles and other tourist attractions can sometimes be very challenging. These "steps" are made from blocks of large "rocks" and are uneven. Sometimes, it was a large step up/down. Bring a walking stick or cane. It will help you with your balance since there are no railings.

Yes, you can. And you can make changes up to 45 day out. I think I read you can get EZ Air up to 4 days prior, but will be locked in then.

From experience...Day 44, I noticed that I did not have a first leg on my return trip. 1. Keep checking...manage flight...not just the first page of the travel index. 2. Even within 45 days, EZ Air will get you something. They may not be able to get you on a flight that you can see on the airlines website, but they "might" work with you on changing your flight to an earlier one if it won't cost them an arm and a leg. 3. They can only work with flights that they have contracted with. Air Canada allows you to fly standby on an earlier flight. That's what I am going to try to do. Good Luck.

Thank you for paying for "our" excursions. I am enjoying the sites.

Passengers blame EZ Air for something out of their control. It is the airline that is making these changes. I had similar issues. EZ Air finally came through for me, but not the optimum. What would be your recourse if you bought your airline tickets 9 months ago directly with the airlines? Would your flight still be cancelled? Would you be issued a refund? Grated, the airline might rebook you without a charge but would it be any different that what EZ Air would do for you? There are risks with booking directly or with EZ Air. One just has to weigh the consequences and risks.

IF you just want to walk around the villages, then this is very doable by the city bus. Senior bus rates went up slightly, but still the best bargain of the day. Get an early start….it’s a really long bus ride.

My TA, who normally does not deal with EZ Air, spent hours working on another EZ Air problem. I don’t want to saddle her with another problem. I have time to work on this. Won’t submit form for a few weeks. Will update once I have exhausted all avenues.

She also has: Alfredos Pizza, a full promenade deck, and many other classic designs. (Also) a “secret” staircase/inside joke. She is one of my favorite ships.

Well, that was a wasted 2.5 hours. One Hour waiting for chat to open. One hour chatting before being disconnected. Then another half hour to have an agent send me a link for a refund. First chat said that they could not give me information because I was working with a TA. I was just asking for policy: Charge card credit or OBC. Hope this saves another poster some time: https://salessupport.princess.com/onboard_folio_refund

Hmmm. I wonder how I will see my refund???? Return to credit card? OBC? or will I have to chase it down later?

Yes, the bus will get you from the ship to the PCC. It's the return that is rather iffy (before the ship sets sail). Nice ride out. Also yes to only one road (Kamehameha Highway) out there. I would never do this on my own (bus, car rental). The "highway" is known for being shut down because of an accident. Plus it is really dark on the way back. You can ask for different tea flavors.

Princess Vacation Protection will cover EZ Air (at no additional cost that I can see). There are two policies: Regular and Platinum. It will NOT cover your air if you purchase your fare independently. There is a disclaimer that states .... it may....read the fine print. https://www.princess.com/plan/princess-vacation-protection/

I agree with you....except with my recent EZ Air disaster AND with final payment made, I wasn't going to take any chances with messing up the change. I have done it in the past...on my own. I'm very satisfied with how this deal went down. I don't care if it is a refund or OBC. I do still have faith in EZ Air.

I just did this today. Checked EZ Air yesterday before making final payment. Fare was UP...so paid in full. Of course....today it dropped by $42. Called EZ Air this morning. Agent wasn't the brightest. Couldn't find my booking. Kept coming up with someone else's. After finally getting that straightened out, he couldn't find the price I had seen (actually had right in front of me). Another few minutes and we were finally on the same page. He verified and doubled check to make sure we were talking about the same flight. Cancelled current, booked new, and told me that my "refund" would show up as (refundable) OBC. I have documentation of old fare, new fare. Hopefully, this is correct information about OBC. Change took place between 93 and 45 days. So I am good without penalties. It is showing up in my personalizer. Showing up on airline's website.

The letter doesn't mention Elite/Suite Priority tickets. Hmmmm

I left out steps 1-4

$60 is such an unusual number. Was this for per person? May I ask about the cruise (number of days and cabin category)? This is an outdated (only good for one year now) scale I have saved. Glad you wee able to get this offer. Sweet.

I don't understand how you did this? How did you get $60 obc a week after getting off the ship?

What a beautiful day in both Hilo and Honolulu. Lucky you.

I would very much appreciate: 4:30 opening time. Can never get to it when it is at 5 PM in Skywalkers Wish they would hold it at a venue closer to the MDRs. Skywalkers is just too out of the way. Wish they would include fixings/menu for the day. It is a hit and miss otherwise. Out of my last 5 cruises, I think I've attended maybe 4 different days.

Peanut Butter cookies, but you have to ask for them. Perfecto when they warm them up a little. I do miss the cookies and milk cart in the Piazza at 4 PM.

Hilo is my favorite town. Heck...Hawaii Island is my favorite Island. Thanks for the photos.
