  1. Guess that's the chance we take - not enough info on there
  2. We would never carry our passport ( except when required as in Alaska to the Yukon)..We have laminated copies of our passports and carry them. American passports are worth a lot of money in some places.
  3. I love your comment that "we could have gone elsewhere". That obviously tells me you know nothing about ship travel....Where do you think you could have gone??? Ports all require advance planning and confirmation....Maybe you should stick to road travel.
  4. The other ships might have been docking at a different port - not Mahogany Bay . We missed 3 ports in the north Atlantic and it was not hurricane season - high winds and rough seas are often issues. and yes it was on Princess and there were other lines doing the same. We have done over 50 cruise on different cruise lines - most of them on Princess because we find them to be the best and missing ports is one of the hazards of cruising. the cruise line should in no way refund you money for weather related issues. I think the RC Allure had issues on this time date also. Maybe you are more suited to the RC line . They all hold to the same standards of safety. In my mind it is better to be safe than sorry. In the end, one must make the best of what it is.
  5. Hey , enjoy Carnival and RC - docking in Roatan is surely not an excuse to blame on the cruise line. That port is very difficult to dock and ultimately up to the port authorities. Love Princess and be thankful they are giving you a credit due to weather beyond their control. We missed 3 ports last fall due to a hurricane and I have no complaints. Cruising is just - one of those things.
  6. LOL......it is still green so that is what I must have done!
  7. We leave next week - I was green lane , then I went to yellow lane ( whatever that is ) and then to blue and now back at green......it took forever to load. This app works much better once onboard but the pre boarding is a real pain.
  8. It just does not work that way - permission must be granted from the port to dock at any given time. And really, who can foresee weather....it happens....
  9. The Allure docks at a different port from the Princess port. That is why they were able to dock. They do not use Mahogany Bay...that is for Carnival Corp ships only.
  10. Try calling Carmel Car Service in Brooklyn - they are prompt and professional and well priced. Can get the price and pick up time online.
  11. Living in a hurricane zone - we tend to not travel during the month of September as that seems to be the peak - at least for here in the Gulf of Mexico. Last year, we did a New England/Canada cruise in mid September and missed two port on the 7 day cruise due to weather conditions. In the end , it is just a crap shoot and luck. WE have sailed around or behind or in front of hurricanes in the past so just give it a go and go with your plans whatever they might be.
  12. Other than the issues with the town of Bar Harbor, sometime the ships do not stop there due to the winds and weather as this is a tender port. It is a great place to visit. I hope we can stop there again...if not, I can always buy my wild blueberry jam online and it is really GOOD!
  13. Go with Chilcoot Charters for their train excursion up and bus excursion back - it is great and the lunch is good too.
  14. WE play only the slots so I do not know .
  15. guess you are lucky-----I run about 10000 points and get good offers
  16. Not to worry...we just went thru the delayed boarding on the Ruby in Galveston on March 5th...all went well...there was no self serving until the 5th day after the deep cleaning......we never got the virus but then we wash our hands. We will be boarding the Emerald on April 16th after your trip - hope it is all clear by then. You know....this is the time of the year for noro to show its ugly head - safe travels to all!!!
  17. Hope you find the other lines more accommodating.....there appear to be many issues with all cruise lines since the Pandemic.... Good luck!
  18. Totally agree - Deadliest Catch excursion is great... Lumberjack show is very entertaining.
  19. Comps start at 4000 points on your play.
  20. We often have fully comped casino cruises and always get our OBC from shareholders.
  21. The Caribbean Princess is an older ship - different from the Sky. We like the older ships better - so it is all personal taste. We were on her last year and going again for 3 trips this year.. the layout of the ship will be different, but the Princess service will be the same. We are long time Princess cruisers so obviously we love the line - have traveled other ship lines and have Princess to be the best for us. It's good to travel on different ships and compare.
