I live in Norfolk area, nothing has been started on the terminal as of yet construction wise.

I live here and have not seen any work started as of yet. Maybe they are working on the inside, but as I have passed it randomly, no construction vehicles seen. Could have missed them though.

I live in Norfolk and can see no work being done on the terminal as of yet. Maybe it is only on inside right now, but no construction vehicles, etc. but maybe I have missed them.

I live in Norfolk and it does not appear any work has started from what I can see from outside. No construction vehicles, etc.

Check out Turo for cars.

Had my first experience, and hopefully my last, with Princess Customer service. Called to verify my cruise cancellation and discuss how refund would be issued since I paid between CC and Gift Cards. They kept saying over and over, it will take 7-10 business days, that is your question, correct? No, it isn't. After 3rd try, and much background noise, I gave up and will hope for best. So frustrating how they have changed the service levels here too. This has not been an enjoyable 1st Princess cruise experience compared to my other Carnival, Royal and Celebrity ones. Yes, I used an outside travel agent, who has now provided me with my answers, but regardless. Thankfully, I can move on and forward from here.

Makes sense Carnival having priority...on the 17th, both ships have the arrival time 8am though.

Exactly, in this instance, it was not a surprise at all on the side of Princess. They are allowed to market it, knowing that it will not happen IMO. Bad practice and seems to be a trend in the Crusing world, not unique to Princess/Carnival Corp.

I wonder if Carnival Glory on Jan 17th is going to change given it is slotted for MB with Carnival Jubilee, so basically the same size ships on the same day then too. Agree it is better than working, but shady nonetheless.

Yes, but most common with "new" class builds such as Sun. Also, happens regularly with normal itinerary changes, such as non-weather related port changes. This unfortunately is not unique to Princess.

Agree, but if history is any indicator, Princess will wait till last minute to announce any change or delay unfortunately.

In same boat, no pun intended. I booked Regal for Roatan/Mahagony Bay 1 month ago. (Silly me, I should have gone with Carnival Celebration from Miami, but thought trying Regal since same ports would be fun). I also understand the cruise lines are 100% in their power to change ports. However, it is the fact that Princess has absolutely known they would not be using MB, but kept it on the schedule to increase selling cabin on Regal. This is deceitful to me and does not give me good vibes from my 1st Princess cruise. Rant over as there is nothing that can be done.

Some ask why it would not make sense for anyone not to purchase the Plus package. Here is why for us personally, it does not work to our advantage....Cost of package for 7 days is approx $840 additional. If you back out the cost of items we would "use" (wifi, grats, 2 Casual Dinings, Medallion shipping), it leaves around $450 to spend on drinks to break even (5 - $13 drinks a day). We have maybe 2 drinks a day, if that, and do not get specialty coffee, juice, water, etc. We are good with what the MDR or buffet serves, so for us, we pay as go and it has always been cheaper. I understand for most this may not be the case, but it is for some. That is what I love about having the choice. No one answer is right, each person gets to choose.

FYI - They have renamed the terminals recently I believe. In case needed for drivers: - Terminal 28 was formerly known as Terminal 2 - 2702 Harborside Drive - Terminal 25 was formerly known as Terminal 1 - 2502 Harborside Drive As others noted, right next to each other.

Wonder if which terminal is used makes a difference. Seems like Regal uses terminal 25 (formerly terminal 1) less often than 28 (formerly terminal 2), so maybe the on/off process is effected. Just a thought.
