Just want to let all of you guys/gals: Yup, I went on computer at 9:05 (Pacific time on the 15th of April (for my 130 days out-- April 16---- and sure enough the reservations were open. No problems at all. So thanks again, everyone! Anita

Thank you so much to both replies. Very informative. Ok, so I will then click on "too early to reply" after I have logged in. So it should hopefully work. If it doesn't or I can't book the times I want for reservations, I will then email the land concierge address which sthrngary graciously provided. I already have that pre written on my "mail waiting to be sent"---- this is the first time I have booked Haven---testing the waters to see if it is what I would do again with NCL. I'll respond again with how the booking the restaurants worked out. (April 16-17 ish). Anita

I understand that if you book Haven, you can make your reservations 130 days out. I have the address for the concierge that Gary kindly wrote out and said to make contact 130 days out. I was just wondering why on my reservation it says I can book on line on April 26 (120 days out)--- Shouldn't it have said April 16, which would then be 130 days out for Haven guests? Should I then just send my requests to the concierge in an email on April 16 and then book on line on the 26 as well, to make sure that I have the reservations? For those of you who have been in Haven, your advise is appreciated. Thanks, Anita

Hi--- I found a site where it was marked MPC, or something like that-- I assume MP meant Marco Polo. Thanks, Anita

I can't find any place which dock Princess uses in St. John NB for my Canada cruise. Is it the Marco Polo or Diamond? Thanks in advance. Anita

Thanks again for your response. We were in Seattle maybe 6 years ago or so ( a few years before pandemic) and a couple of times Uber driver would cancel on us last minute ( I suspect for a better offer) it was really annoying--- we tipped generously when a driver finally did actually show up! I'd rather pay a little extra to pre- arrange a pick up from the ship- coming back to port I wouldn't bother.

Thanks for the info-- Is Uber reliable in Quebec between the port and Frontenac area? Can you pre arrange with them, so that we are not competing with others who need to use a taxi? We are ok walking in the area near Frontenac. We just can't handle the walk from ship, which I think now is at wharf 30-- to and from that area. We had trouble with Uber a couple of times in Las Vegas and Seattle. Other times worked out great.

I'm trying to find out if Emerald Princess now uses Wharf 30? If so, is there a taxi stand by the ship? We will need a ride from ship to and from Frontenac area (We have mobility issues) On the Thurs that ship docks, we have 1 tour that leaves by Frontenac. On the Fri on disembarkation we will need a ride to our hotel (near Frontenac) from the ship. Thanks for any assistance. Anita

For any one who has done the Canada cruise with Princess, specifically, can you recall which pier Princess uses in Quebec City? Thanks, Anita

I may end up at Haven for lunch any way---- but I really would rather just eat there for dinner. Thanks again for all responses. Appreciate it. Anita

Thanks-- We booked the lowest Haven category to see if it would be worth it for us for future cruies--- Since we will be eating diner at Haven restaurant that night, we just want to eat a light lunch-- as I stated when I started this post we thought we would eat lunch at American diner- as a Haven "Perk" but now that it is a regular complimentary venue, with little variety --- the local sounds perfect for us. Anita

I figure we will be on board around 11:30--- So I think we will try to make our way to the Local as soon as we board-- if that doesn't work out we will give to one of the mdr--- Thanks for the info. Anita

No, this wouldn't be untill end of August for Alaska---- Just wondering for any embarkation cruise-- not holiday times....

Hi all. I was originally planning on having embarkation lunch at the American Diner before NCL cut out many of the menu offerings and it was a perk for Haven booking (no charge on day 1, now included for all.---- My second choice would be to eat at the Local ---- I was just wondering how crowded that venue gets on embarkation day around 12:00-1:00. Thanks, Anita

The NCL Bliss will be in port 11:00 - 6:00 ---- Having been to Sitka 2 times already, this time we just want to catch the free bus that Sitka provides for the cruise ships, and spend the day downtown at our own pace./ (We did the Fortress, Raptor center, etc. previously) My question is, do we need to make a mad dash off the ship to be among the first to line up for the free bus? Or are there several buses lined up so that we can just get off the ship as close to 11:00 as possible? Just want to make the most out of the day. We want to eat light lunch in town at the dumpling place between 12:00 and 1:00---- Thanks for any info. Anita
