We departed from Sydney on October 23rd. There is no longer a requirement for covid testing. They scanned the qr code on the medallion app, checked passports and gave us our medallions. Well organized. We dropped our bags off at 10 am but check in did not begin until 11am.

I've read that an esim will not work with a Canadian Samsung galaxy s20/s20+. Has anyone tried with these phones?

I was able to take my photo but struggled with taking my husband's in selfie mode. Then I remembered this post about your switching the mode to take the photo. Problem solved. Thanks.

Thanks for posting!

Thank you. I'll look for the travelators.

I've been having trouble walking long distances and I'm concerned about how far it is to walk from the arrival gate to immigration. Are there any moving sidewalks/walkways in the terminal? Or assistance by golf cart? I don't need/want a wheelchair.

As far as Alfredos goes, it still (at the moment) is not described on the Princess website as having an additional charge, while Sabatinis for example is clearly described as specialty dining and "additional charges apply." We love Alfredos (and the fact that it is free) so much that we always choose a ship that has one. Not happy that our upcoming cruise on the Royal will be subject to new charges after we booked.

I wonder if the plus/premier "fares " which include wifi will be available to purchase on board or if it will just be the stand alone beverage packages? And the cost? I was planning on purchasing the full plus (wifi, drinks) on board.

That's great, but I wonder why there is the option to prepay CA (gratuities) in the personalizer under the payment section?

I have the same question. I assumed they would apply the going exchange rate usd to aud.

Very true. Almost every bar had the Canyon Road chardonnay for $9, but for me it was literally undrinkable. I had to work hard using the app (no luck there), scanning qr codes (the bars didn't always have the wines listed), and asking the bar staff for "anything " better than the Canyon Road. Very disappointing.

The outdoor smoking area is on deck 17, 1 deck above the Horizon Court, aft. Packed. Actually, it's above the Outrigger bar, which is the outdoor seating area for Horizon Court, aft.
