Thanks to all! Very helpful, especially when things are always changing.

So I can use my cabin credit to buy it. Searching here did not help. Thank you.

So you can’t rent a car or start any real excursions, etc. because they’re all in Fare? Why do they stop there with no shuttle? Thanks.

@hikerbiker - see you onboard soon as we are also on the Sept 7th Wind Spirit

See both your parties soon as we are on for Sept. 7 too as well as 3 nights in Moorea first.

Does the Wind Spirit really stop in Maroe rather than Fare in Huahine? Doesn’t look like much there from Google Maps. Can you book excursions after getting off? Thanks for any info you can offer.

It’s also scheduled for our Sept. 7 cruise on Wind Spirit. Does anyone know on two day stops in Bora Bora, which day is the party and what time they start to take people over to the motu? Thanks.

Thank you Piaa for getting this info. We are on the Wind Spirit with you Sept. 7th. We were in FP 5 years ago but things and vendors can change so nice to know exactly where we’ll be parking. Just starting to plan excursions and so far Petoonya’s people are different from vendors we used before. Nice to have updated recommendations.

Our cruise leaves Saturday. I can’t find the Health Status button on the app as shown on Princess.com. Does it only appear within 24 hours of boarding? Thanks.

FYI - Tabyana is at West Bay Beach but you may want to just book your own transportation there and pay as you go at the beach. Infinity Bay Resort has nice amenities right there too. Tabyana Beach Break tour reviews have several comments about uncomfortable transportation. Cheers!

We also did this cruise last year and are on the Sky in Jan. too. The ship beach is Ok but the ground is hard in the water, like it’s smooth rock, not sandy. No decent snorkeling there either. Roatan has a fantastic coral reef all around it so the catamaran tours are best for snorkeling. The coral reef we visited on the ship tour is the best and most vibrant we’ve seen anywhere in the Caribbean. Or you can brave the ride to West Bay Beach for a great beach, resorts, restaurants, umbrella rentals and snorkeling right off the beach. 

Took over an hour to get through to Abbott the other day but the guy gave us a great tip. Use a desktop/laptop if you can, to log into eMed.com for your test. It went very smooth today, we were both negative and got our emails within 2 minutes. If there are two or more of you, you do need to log out or close your browser and then the next person logs into eMed.com with their info and password for the NAVICA app. Register with NAVICA before your test day. Hope it goes as smooth for you as it did for us.

The reports I have seen say that San Juan is open, well vaccinated and tourism is booming 

Looks like San Juan is closed to cruise ships for a while but no word from Princess about this and no replacement yet on the itinerary. Shouldn't they let us know before boarding?

We are scheduled for the Sky Princess January 8 sailing. Wondering how many passengers the recent sailings had. Thanks.

I gave feedback on the incredibly slow response in my bookings using iPad Safari, and they suggested I use Chrome.  I used Chrome and reported the incredibly slow response in my bookings.  After I finally get into managing my bookings, Chrome will do a few things Safari won’t.  HAL needs to work on this.

I’m having the trouble using Chrome. 

So good to see Hank still answering questions about PV. He is the man and a trusted source. When in doubt, ask Hank.

I highly recommend Los Veranos in PV. Fantastic long runs across a wooded river canyon, jumping off without even being able to see the landing on the other end. Many great thrills along with lots of climbing up and down trails to get to the next zip. Very satisfying!

Anyone else have trouble navigating the Hal website when you try to edit your account, etc.?

Final payment is due on Tahiti cruise but Windstar has not changed the bubble excursions only yet. What are they waiting for? Vaccinated passengers and crew so why the bubble? CDC says it’s Ok for independent excursions with these circumstances. We’ll even agree to masks indoors off the ship.
 

Mr. Mac

Ok, so just to be clear, if one person books the 4 device deal, then the other person in the cabin can use up one or more of those 4 devices right? And if I’m Platinum we should wait and trade in our minutes towards a purchase onboard? Thank you.

I beg to differ, Sarge, but that's not a Canada Goose; that's a snow goose.   Here's what a Canada goose looks like:
 

If it poops on all your ball fields, it’s a Canadian Goose!

Can’t remember. Does the Eurodam have binoculars in all OV cabins in Alaska? Thanks.

Does anyone know which nights there are time changes on the 7 night cruises? Thanks.

Sorry, yes it was last Wednesday, not Thursday, in Rarotonga. I don’t know why so many would question whether it happened or not. Captain came on the loudspeaker to let us know same day. We spoke to a witness, who was on the same tender and hadn’t gotten off yet, but had been speaking with the poor woman during the tender ride. Terrible tragedy for the woman and her family and all who witnessed it. Neither myself nor AussieWalker has blamed anybody for this accident so I cannot comprehend posts mentioning that the OP, me, blamed anybody.

Alright, I didn’t want to comment more out of respect for the victim & family however I disembarked the Maasdam cruise this morning and can assure you that a passenger did pass away in Rarotonga as a result of an accident and it was announced by the Captain. Is that source good enough for you? The “rumour” is the cause of their death not the death itself. It was announced as there were witnesses to the accident and the Captain wanted to quash rumours which were floating around the vessel. 

 

Its all all very easy to be a keyboard warrior. Not everything that happens in this world is immediately reported on the internet. 

 

Thank you AussieWalker.

I think I’ll go into politics. The trolls are more civilized there.
