We also had to go through immigration in San Diego on the Royal, but we didn’t have to get off the ship. Everyone just had to slowly file through the Vista Lounge to be checked.

Thank you so much. I appreciate the help/info

Thank you. Since we’re staying at the Marriott at the airport, getting there early isn’t a problem. I’m even hoping we can get there earlier, and get out even sooner!

Flying into Houston (IAH); sailing out of Galveston.

We will be using a Princess transfer for the first time on our next cruise…getting in a day early, then going back to the airport for the transfer. This will be in Houston if it makes a difference. Are the reps usually in the baggage claim area? Do they carry some sort of signage (like limo drivers)? How early should we plan on getting to the airport? Thanks!

Thank you both so much!!

Can anyone tell me where exactly the tender pier is in relation to the town of Lahaina? Is it walkable to downtown Lahaina? Thanks

Continuing sewage problem is certainly bad news. Did it seem to be confined to the forward part of the ship?

Ok. Under the green lane banner is a line that says personal information and documents. Click that. It will take you to another page. Scroll down and click arrivals!

I just updated my app, and it does the same thing. I believe if you are in the green lane, that you ARE ocean ready, so there’s nothing left for you to fill out there! 😊

Before our cruise last month I populated as Platinum on the app, but my husband only populated as blue. It took FOREVER (multiple calls/emails) for them to fix it (he wanted to order his own internet pkg). We have another cruise in January. I went to order MedallionNet, and not only is he back to blue, but now I am too.

The Royal had boxes. No loose cereal in containers

It worked great on the Ruby, but not at all on the Royal. Part of the problem was that even when I tried to locate my husband he was out swimming in the ocean😂

There was an Italian menu one night, but no Italian outfits to go with it. Maybe the baked Alaska parade depends upon the ship’s capacity. First half of our cruise was maybe 2/3 full, and the second half was 1/2 full so we got it both times. Apparently I’m in the minority… I like it. 🤷🏻‍♀️

Had the parade on the Ruby in May and the Royal just last week. All the same (waving napkins/introductions/music and poem at the end) as before except they didn’t carry around the baked Alaska.

Yes they did! I am owed $231.50. But why zero it out? I’m guessing I’m going to have to fight them for my $231.

The first line specifically says non refundable. The second just says referred to corporate finance and is over $400 which is way too much for me to get back. And both are under charges, not credits.

They were charges, not credits.

We figured out the pillows, but your painter’s tape is brilliant!! Thank you 😊

Has anyone ever gotten charges like this on their final invoice from Princess? 23-Oct Shareholder Benefit (non-refundable) $8.54 and 23-Oct Referred to Corporate Finance (with a much bigger amount after it) If never gotten anything like this before. I've emailed customer relations, but that will take a couple of weeks to get an answer and I'm curious now! Thanks for your insight!

The bathroom light did not have to be on on the Royal for the night light to work. However, every time you approach the bathroom the darn overhead light by the closet comes on and you’re blinded by that!

My app was screwy for this last cruise, and we were given a late boarding time. We showed up early and were onboard in 10 minutes. No one even looked at the green lane /QR code on my phone.

Just off the Royal. We used a nightlight very similar in shape to the one in post #6. It was a bit bigger so it propped the cover up on its own. Equal prongs. Worked great.

We arrived in Vancouver a couple of days ago (on the Royal) early in the morning so I didn’t see us come in under the bridge, but we left around 3:30-4pm and we fit under just fine!

Optional on Royal as of today.
