Heading out may 26 (ac via toronto) arriving morning of 27 - when are you guys leaving? (and home from newark on the 13th - direct flight United).

Howdy Neighbour - Centrepointe here! and grew up in NDG/Cote St Luc areas!!!

Would love to ask them about availability of oatmilk? Where can I find this email please?

I can and will bring a couple of small tetra paks of oat milk (for in cabin morning cereal perhaps?) - but I was hoping to get a fancy coffee drink at the coffee bars with oat milk if possible???

Wow small world! I am from Montreal and now live in Ottawa too!!!! What part of Ottawa are you in? (and where in Montreal is your hubby from?) 🙂

Lucky it's just a wink - they actually CALL MY NAME - out loud!!! LOLOL (hard to stay away!) - hoping they do have smoked salmon on the breakfast buffet - one of my faves!

Related topic - I typically don't have dairy - but will have a bit of Lactose free milk or cream if desperate - can't have soy or nut milks - is there any oat milk or creamer anywhere on board?

Same here - always wanting to know what they use to make the desserts sugar free - some substitutes better than others and of course each individual may have a different sensitivity!

Hoping some experienced Princess cruisers can advise re availability of dairy options onboard the Caribbean Princess? I am wondering about availability of oat milk or creamer (at coffee shops)? (I believe I have read soy/almond milk available, but unfortunately I can't have those). Is lactose free milk or cream available? (for the fancy coffee drinks?) How about on the buffet or in the dining rooms? Any details greatly appreciated! Thanks 🙂

I got this 'variety pack' LOL - hoping one or more will work for me! (didn't want a wrist watch thing but something that could attach to 'whatever'!) https://www.amazon.ca/dp/B09PBH3M34?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details

As asked above can you wander about freely during the transit and take pics wherever? Did you book for morning only? (can you?) or better to do all day?

Thanks for the info and great pics by the way! What did you mean by 'my mistake not going there ASAP, once on the ship as some of the 'best ones' were already taken'? Do you mean spots? Loungers? When you 'reserve' the Sanctuary do you need to pick a lounger/spot? or can you wander about and/or pick and choose where you want to sit/stand once there?

Question - are there some bars/venues where the drink package is not 'accepted'? or can you get drinks from anywhere? (e.g. casino/dining room/Vines/Crooners etc).

Would it be worth it to use the Sanctuary on a panama canal partial transit day? Would there be good views from there? Or best to try to find a spot at the front of the ship? Also I understand the pool below the Sanctuary is free for all to use? Is that correct?

Thanks so much - I didn't know this of course.....so will wait til I am onboard. Is there somewhere in writing it says I can purchase 1st day onboard? I hate to not be able to do this? Will I have any issues? (Caribbean Princess).... Do I just go to Guest Services upon boarding to purchase? Or can I do this via the medallion app or something? (once onboard?)

Newbie to Princess and wondering if someone can confirm purchase of the upgrade/plus package using OBC? I have $200 OBC and would like to upgrade and use that $$ - on the website I don't see an option to do this (I am about 10 days away from sailing so final payment made). a) Do I have to call to upgrade and ask them to use my OBC? or b) should I do this first day onboard thereby ensuring I can use the OBC? Any guidance/advice greatly appreciated! 🙂

Wow - had no idea I could do that - sounds like a great plan!!! Will definitely check that out! thanks! Update - so was able to cancel my water/wifi that was prepurchased via the website. can you/someone please confirm that I have to call to get the OBC applied to the plus upgrade? I tried to purchase/upgrade on the website but don't see an option to use up OBC? So can't do that on my own? I am also reading that I can purchase the upgrade on the 1st day onboard - in which case I assume I could apply the $200 OBC - but can I do that beforehand - by calling? or ? Otherwise I guess I can wait til onboard if that is the only way to apply the OBC?

Will see if I can figure out how to do this online - can I safely assume the charges would go back to original form of payment e.g. credit card?

Also interested as part of my OBC is shareholder OBC? (the other just came with the booking!)

I am thinking of upgrading to the plus package - already purchased bottled water/wifi - so assume I would have to call and cancel those if I decide to get the package as these would be included (along with gratuities etc). I do have $200 in OBC already so assume I can use for any dining/excursions/purchases but can this also be used in the casino? Any rules/limitations? Have not bee on Princess in almost 19 years so would love some help from experienced Princess cruisers! Thanks! 🙂

So sounds like 3 pm - all seadays - Coral dining room - mid ship deck 6!

Thanks - there are two dining rooms on 6 - Coral and Palm - would you know which one?

I agree just because it's 'listed' as a solo cabin does not necessarily make it the cheapest and best option - best to shop around and compare $$$.

Have not cruised Princess in a long time - wondering if they still have teatime ? On all sea days? If someone knows can you please tell me time and venue on Caribbean princess? Any other details (or pics? LOL) greatly appreciated. Thanks 🙂

MIght need to do a canuck/montreal get together! LOL. Still investigating excursions but very interested in some whale watching in the Azores! https://www.getyourguide.com/sao-miguel-island-l1663/sao-miguel-azores-half-day-whale-watching-trip-t389227/
