  1. No need to bring an extension cord. Just ask your stateroom attendent for one. They will bring it and route it safely to an outlet and tape the cord down so that it isn't a tripping hazard. You can also request distilled water for your cpap.
  2. Thank you, I'll research these options. I am also looking at the Shinjuku area.
  3. We are arriving by cruise ship to Yokohoma. We would like to stay for 2 or 3 nights before flying out of Haneda. I've been searching for transportation options and found the YCAT at the Yokohoma Station to get us to Haneda before our flight home. So we were going to take a taxi from the ship to Yokohoma Station. I originally thought about staying at the Sheraton at Yokohoma Station but I am wondering if there is another area of Yokohoma or Tokyo to stay in for good hotel/restaurant options that we can use as a base for sightseeing and we can always work our way back to Yokohoma station/ YCAT for the transfer to Haneda. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. If we stay for longer we may spend a day sightseeing in Tokyo from Yokohoma.
  4. Full suites get Club class dining for Dinner each night, Lunch on Sea Days and you get to dine in one of the Specialty dining restaurants (usually Sabatini's) for a mimosa Breakfast each morning. (The breakfast is the best part of this deal, it is never crowded and while there is a menu they'll basically get you anything you ask for) You get the use of the Suite lounge on Royal Class ships. For two hours each evening they serve beer, wine, cocktails and appetizers. Alcoholic beverages are only available (complimentary) during those two hours. There is usually a themed night several times during the voyage. The concierge is also located in the Suite lounge and helps with dining reservations and requests. You can also grab Soft drinks, bottles of sparkling and still water and mixers. They have an espresso machine and hot tea. The room attendant leaves two bottles of water per day, but we grabbed extra water when needed and sodas as well. At breakfast they had fruit, pastries etc. and at lunch hours they have sandwiches and fruit. The first time we sailed in a suite on the Discovery Princess we had the plus package. We never used it. The second time, we cancelled it. We changed the mini-bar setup to two coffee cards and on a 15 night cruise we barely used that because there was always coffee across the hall. (We like the S4 suites near the concierge lounge) My husband is convinced we will cruise no other way....
  5. Pre-Covid - I was employed where I was required to wear a mask and a full bunny suit and oftentimes an scba and all kinds of protective gear in multiple layers. I worked 12 hour days and a lot of required overtime. It was hot and uncomfortable but it was required and I did it because I wanted to keep my job. You are a passenger and you have the choice. They are employees and their employer mandates something else, just like employers all over the world. If they are sick and in bed they are of no value to Princess and the folks that are spreading it get to enjoy the rest of their vacation and then go home and complain that the ships are understaffed. Wearing masks and protective equipment is not abnormal and never has been.
  6. We booked a suite in April, and have two upcoming cruises booked in suites and as soon as they were booked I was able to book our first night specialty dining in the Medallion app. One is for a cruise in 2024. Try deleting the app and reloading it and see if that changes things.
  7. I love afternoon tea in my cabin.... Come on September 2nd! 😁
  8. If you open the app they all have a default time. Mine is 8:10PM as you can see below and each specialty restaurant is listed at 8:10 PM. But there is a dropdown box that says "SELECT TIME" that I have circled in red below it gives you the ability to switch the time. Scroll up or down until the time you want is highlighted and it will change the default time.
  9. We booked them for 3 nights prior to our cruise. It looks like a lot of fun. We don't go until the end of August/first part of September. I'd be curious as to what you think.
  10. Agreed.... I always try to pre-plan. We both have our limits when we are tired and cranky. We enjoy using public transportation options but having never been to London I know how difficult it can be in new cities. At least the directions will be in english. 🙂 I'm okay with car services but don't you usually have to pre-set reservations? How does that work when you don't know how long it will take you to clear customs and immigration?
  11. We are traveling from LHR to the Hilton Tower Bridge hotel. I have been trying to research options for transportation- We will be traveling with a couple of suitcases per person. I thought about the Tube but I've read you have to be careful which stations you transfer at because you could be schlepping luggage up/down Stairs and longer distances between stations. I thought about the National Express Coach from LHR to Victoria Station and then catching a Taxi to the hotel. I've tried to research Taxi's from LHR to the Hotel. Having never been to London I'm unsure what to expect. We will be up and traveling for over 24 hours before we get to this portion of our travels so I'd like something reasonably frustration free.
