  1. Then it would be fine, my husband didn’t even hear the elevator dings. We did not think from the 6th deck that we would hear the music from the piazza.
  2. I’ll post do e of 6404 when we get home. It was a noisy location- you can hear the elevator and the music from below. I would not book it again, although the mid ship was nice.
  3. Thanks so much for the information. It looks like a great place but we haven’t quite decided if we should take some sort of tour instead, since we have never been there before.
  4. Are you able to give an approximate taxi fare cost to get there? If it’s per person or per taxi, that would be helpful to know, as well. Thanks.
  5. Thanks so much. I guess I was trying too broad of a search on google and YouTube. I’ve read the other thread now, too. I was hoping to bid on a balcony but my TA told me about a month ago, that there were none left, so I didn’t even try.
  6. Good morning, We also are cruising very soon in these cabins, so I’m hoping for information regarding noise and any other information you might be able to share. Pictures of the cabin and video of the elevator entrance areas, would be awesome, too. Thanks so much and I hope your cruise is going great.
  7. Hi, Does anyone have any photos or information about those 4 cabins which were added on when they took out the ilounge? I can’t seem to find anything about them, and we are booked into one of them very soon.
  8. Thanks so responding. I have tried about 12 social media type sites with no luck, other reading they might not be as insulated as other cabins and might a bit noisy because of that. I will find out at the end of February, but since the ship is mostly sold out, we’re likely stick with it. I will definitely be taking pictures, so I’ll post them after we get back, if we don’t get a great complimentary upgrade😉
  9. Hi, I thought I’d try again to ask if your friends stayed in one of these cabins in the end. I have 6404 booked but still can’t find anything about them. Thanks.
  10. Hi, if you ended up taking this cruise, do you have any photos you could share? We’re booked into 6404 next month. Thanks.
  11. Stick with your plan and just find a guide to do the driving. Many people came back from renting cars and were sorry they did. They also said they didn’t get to see as much as they were very focused on the crazy road.
  12. I should have been more clear about using the app. App or website, I do see differences, for sure. I just don’t understand why people want to use email for such things. If I know there are things I can’t do on an app, but I can do online, then I just go to the website, instead. It sounds like you have quite the adventure planned, I’m pretty jealous.
  13. It works just fine to use the app. My guess is they are only keeping that email option for a length of time to keep people happy. The app works, it’s quick and efficient and is the future. People don't generally wait until the last week or so to submit for the OBC, unless they didn’t know about it, anyways. It’s still less than a week for it to show up. That’s plenty of time for most people. I did not submit anything other than what they asked for, and gave no access to my financial accounts. I have read many posts where people are anxious and apply for the OBC more than a year early. I have no idea why they were accepting that, and maybe this is a new way to make sure people are actually holding the shares.
  14. Yep..don’t leave anything behind. I hope you enjoy your purchase. Too bad about the excursion, though.
  15. Yes, you are now able to receive both benefits. Princess backtracked on the new policy they tried to implement.
  16. I would not chance it. I now have read several posts where people were not notified that it had not been accepted via fax, so people were trying to sort it out once onboard. It is really quick to submit the required information through Stockperks.
  17. It took me a second to get the joke… but at least with the glass blowing, you will have something to take home.
  18. I find your post very interesting. it was super easy to submit, and the only thing we sent them, was the name of the brokerage, our names and that we had 100 shares. I left the date on it, as well. I do find it interesting, that you can cut and paste all you want, as they want the information on one page only. It worked, though. We got the second email to go back to their site, and put in our booking number and names and date of cruise. That was it… I don’t really like the new way, but it was not hard to do.
  19. So, if you pay the higher price, do they assist you so it at least comes out a bit like the finished pieces on display that you choose from? Or, could you end up with a 200.00 blob of glass?
  20. We had a good day, and just used the public bus everywhere as we weren’t in any hurry. After Pearl Harbour, we back to the ship, had lunch and then again went by bus down to the beach. It was really easy and cheap… I had never seen a public bathroom that had no door on the stall. It creeped me out for sure. I guess they have a bit of an issue there and think that’s the best way to avoid problems in them. We ended up just having a very late dinner at the buffet. There were lots of restaurants around the area, though. We decided not to do a Luau as it was just too pricey for us, with the exchange rate from Canadian dollar and there was just two of us. It would have been approximately 600 CAD including transportation, to get decent seats at one of the popular ones. We also had never been to Hawaii before and just didn’t feel comfortable renting a car and chancing getting lost.
  21. Hi, I really think that’s pushing it. I checked the port schedule and the Crown is the only ship there that day, which helps. The arrival time is 6:00 am. but, you truly never know what time you will be able to get off. I just tried a quick Uber search right now, and it was showing about a 7 minute wait from Pier 2B. You could prebook one, too. I actually didn’t feel there were many available transportation options when we were there in mid April. We walked off the ship about 8:00 am to get a public bus to Pearl Harbour for 10:00 am. tour. I would check the Princess excursion page just to see what the earliest time is that one of their excursions starts, and use that as a guideline. Those people do get off first, as well as anyone else that has priority that day. It is 8:30 am right now in BC. If you don’t have to make a rush decision, I would check daily on the Uber or any other car share option app. around the time I needed to get off. You also don’t say how far away you are going, which of course, if it was more than a few minutes, you wouldn’t have much wiggle room.
  22. As I understand it, you are no longer allowed to leave it with the Porter. You have to Carry it on yourself.
  23. It was our least favourite time to go. My husband says the water was too cold, I thought it was fine. Yes, we hit a bit of rain, too. Overall it was good, though. He just prefers April because it’s his birthday month. This time, we’re doing a month from late Feb-late March to those wonderful Caribbean waters, so I think we’ll be ok.
