I've through these post been searching for a recent definative answer:

 I know about Churchills, but is cigar/pipe smoking allowed anywhere outdoors? 

 Thank you.

These prices were for Platinum/Elite passengers only, correct?

So glad for your original post -not at all a waste of time!    This is one of the oldest threads that keeps getting bumped up - and yes it has helped many people.  It never ceased to amaze me how many people felt it necessary to throw in their opinion on - what you could have, should have done; or what they would have done differently, better, etc.  Thanks again from so many of us, and glad you are still cruising.

This reminds me of a similar situation several years ago when Princess sailed from Houston.

 

They offered a cruise from Houston to Southampton. Two of the possible ways (there were four) of booking were:

a) Houston to Southampton with a stop at Fort Lauderdale to pick up additional passengers

b) Fort Lauderdale to Southampton

 

Naturally, the cabins available for Houston to Southampton were not available for Fort Lauderdale to Southampton and vice versa.

 

The Houston to Southampton cabins were sold out, but there was availability from Fort Lauderdale to Southampton.

 

This meant (because it was illegal to transport passengers from just Houston to Fort Lauderdale) that the cabins for Fort Lauderdale to Southampton had be be kept vacant from Houston to Fort Lauderdale. That's right, empty cabins with no income to Princess.

 

But Princess would not release these cabins so they could be sold from Houston to Southampton which would have given Princess three more days of booking income plus three more days of on board spending.

I was on that TA when it returned and the ship was half empty from FLL to Houston. Lots of people getting off in FLL.  Hopefully   they’ll discount unsold cabins for shorter legs closer to sailing.  

I notified my TA 3 days prior to this cruise opening up, and she couldn’t get me anything higher than a BE Balcony guarantee. And no perks for individual legs.

Yup. If ppl on current WC were able to book first, that explains it. I’ll keep checking,  lots of time for people to cancel. 

4 hours after it opened up, all suites and mini suites were showing as “Sold Out”. And most balcony categories showed a “Guarantee” only. Also the perks they advertised - Free Gratuities, Free Airfare, and $1000 OBC were only for the full 111days.   No perks at all for booking individual legs.   No thanks!!!

Just found this thread. We had this cruise booked and had to cancel at the last minute due to DH health issue. Would have been disappointed missing those ports but the North Atlantic weather looked really nasty, and it’s better to be safe. Have been to Vigo and Ponta Delgada and loved them. Hope you all are having a great cruise.

OP here. Thx for this link! We were booked on this cruise & had to cancel for medical reasons.

The ship left Belfast yesterday, should be 4 sea days on its way to St John’s Newfoundland, but the webcam says “Bound to Ponta Delgada” which is decidedly south of Newfoundland. Wondered if it’s itinerary got altered because of hurricane Florence exiting New England?

Actually, the answer is yes, it just costs more and covers more than what the OP wants for alcohol, can't tell if he wants water, soda, coffee, juices, virgin drinks, etc, that are also included

I was assuming he meant something other than the SNS pkg since he specifically asked for a “beer/wine drink pkg”

Here is where I'm at: HELP!!:confused::mad: Feel free to email me at theog99@telus.net

 

Great that it’s fixed! You are awesome!!! Thx so much from all of us!!!

So what about the Regal in November? I’m Elite, anyone know if they are they still rolling it out or will it be complete by then? Thx!!

Disney is first class but you pay for it. I was on the Wonder w/ family and it beats Princess hands down for everything, & there are plenty of Adult Only areas. If I had the money and didn’t mind children around, it would be Disney for me every time!

To the OP: the answer to your original question is “no”.

Deluxe Balcony has a 2 cushion loveseat. Mini Suite has a 3 cushion sofa. Regular Balcony has neither.

OMG, I tried several times to access it and a pop up says “site disabled”. So many people depend on this to book !!

John Bull: Thank you for your help. I will book a car service.

We are spending 3 days in Le Havre before traveling to Southampton for our upcoming TA in Sept. We have tickets for the ferry from Le Havre which arrives in Portsmouth at 10:30 pm, & have hotel reservations In Southampton that same night. Does anyone know if there will be taxis at the ferry terminal I can take or do I need a car service? Thank you.

Do the cars come with GPS navigation systems? Or do you have to pay extra? Does anyone have any recommendations for iPhone navigation Apps for driving in Europe? Thx!

We used Blue Hawaiian when we were on POA. Nice facilities and seemed very modern and safe.

Thanks, will check it out!!!

We've walked through Chinatown (not as good as SF's, though). We also have used the hop-on, hop-off trolley.

Great idea, thanks!

I see the Palace is about a 15 minute walk, and approx 1-2 hours there. Anything else in the area to see or visit while walking? Thx!

One more advising caution on doing the Road to Hana. It's very crowded and slow moving, & I would never chance it if I had to be back to catch the ship.

We will be on the POA on 4-21. For Kauai, we have booked a helicopter tour Thursday morning and a rental car to be picked up after the copter.

Could you let me know which company you booked the helicopter with, or was it a ship tour?

Thanks
