Thank you very much to everyone for your suggestions. I probably will need to check it out when I get abord as réservations is not possible. I will check with guess service when I get on. 

We we may not be quiet all the time but hope we will not be disruptives. 

Thanks again

Hi, 

does princess gives access to a card room for long cruises with many sea days.  We will be on the sapphire 

if there is a room available, can it be booked in advance. 

If no room is available what are the options on the sapphire for a quiet place to play. 

Thank you 

diane

We tipped US& for St. Petersburg, kroner for Denmark and Iceland because we were there 3-5 days and did our own things in other countries,  so no tipping then. 

Hi Marge, 

glad you had a great adventure in Colombo. 

Do you remember what you did in Colombo.

I have heard trafic can make it difficult to go too far from the city. We will be there for about 8 hours. 

Thank you 

Diane

Going to Singapore return Rome March-April 2019 

Booked Ezair, economy air canada, Cathay pacific, return British air, I was able to book preferred seat (bulk head with more leg room) on all flights as soon as I paid for them. 

Agreed, it is airline dependant, 

Location is Phuket, scheduled arrival 7:00 am. 

Hi, 

if i do not have priority tendering and I am not on a cruise ship tour what could be a reasonable time to be ashore. 

I am trying to get an excursion time setup. The tender time is 15 minute without loading. 

I am thinking to allow 2 hours after scheduled arrival. 

Thank you diane

Hi, 

we will stop in Phuket in March, it will be tender port. We do not have privileged tender so 

How long could it take to get ashore, I am figuring 2 hours, is that enough 

what is around the tender area, can we walk to the temple and or old town. 

Do local take us $ or do I need Thai currency 

thank you. Diane

Hi, 

we still have 4 months to our trip. Looking at shore excursions from princess, many are very reasonable. 

Does princess generally increase the price of excursions after you have boarded, even when there are still openings, i realize they may have sold out when i board. 

Thank you diane

Hi, 

the above post seems very important, maybe it should have a tread of its own. And if you find the form that needs to be submitted please share the URL, 

i presume this will impact cruise ships travellers as well. How is immigration handled when you get to UAE, is it face to face meeting?  

Thank you 

diane

Hi, if I buy 125can $ as I have the option on my booking, would that give me 100us $ obc to buy whatever including excursions or gratuity

thank you diane

Hi anyone knows that the time will be for shows in the theatre yet, 

thanks di

Thank you both for your reply. 

Checking further I had not realized it could take over 3 hours to do 120 miles. 

I have decided to forgo this option and plan to remain more in town 

thank you again

I will be in Colombo Sri Lanka next March and would like to visit the temple of tooth along with the botanical garden in Kandy. Anyone can recommend tour operator or taxi service to get us there and back to Colombo. 

Thank you 

diane

Question for anyone living in Singapore?

First,

Let me give my respect to the people of Singapore for the lost of their national leader and founder who has shaped Singapore to what it is today, they have lost a remarkable men with so much insight.

I have read that Singapore will observe a week of National Morning followed by a state funeral scheduled for March 29th.

We will be taking our first trip to Singapore, arriving on the March 26th so we will be part of the experience for that week.

We expect increased security measure, very busy airport, trafic jam, and possibly some national buildings to be closed.

Question??? Does the above sounds reasonable and what else could we expect for that week.

Thanks for any reply and looking forward to visit this amazing city/state

Diane

we just 'turned' 4 stars last cruise, we now would get 50% off the pinnacle of the $29. would we also get 50% off the $20 extra for crab legs?

thanks Diane

Hi, Would you also know the major staff for the TA on the Ryndam April 6th, this will be after a short drydock, so I presume there will be a major staff turnaround.

Thanks so much, we are very much looking forward to the trip.

Diane

Hi,

I will be on the Ryndam in April which I believe, does not have Lanai cabins on the lower promenade.

I have an oppotunity to upgrade my J (for very little money if any) for an O/V on the lower promenade.

I have been in O/V on the main deck and realy like it, but I am concerned being on the lower promenade that people can look into the cabin. I usually keep the drapes open during the day and a litle bit at night so I can see light coming in the morning.

I also wonder if I will have a view if/when people use chair in front on the window during the day.

Alternatively I can wait/hope for an upsell for the O/V on the main deck. I believe the ship still has lots of cabin as this i a TA.

Input appreciated, thanks,

Diane
