Does anyone know why the Majestic Princess wasn't able to land at Auckland today (March 5th down there) but the Grand Princess docked there this morning? Their itinerary has them stopping there today, but the port authority site does not have them listed. They were also not able to tender at Bay of Islands yesterday. My sister is on the Majestic, and they thought it was weather (a LITTLE rough yesterday) but today is very calm.

The Westjet credit card offers an annual companion fare when you use their airline. We flew to England last year. The cost of my PREMIUM economy ticket was $2113 plus $1129 tax. My husband's companion fare (also premium economy) was $399 plus $806 tax - a HUGE saving. There are probably other credit cards with similar offers. If you travel annually they are worth having.

I know that when rivers run too high to go under bridges, or too low for ships to sail the river cruise can turn into a bus tour. What European river cruises are the least subject to those problems?

On the page that I selected he DATE for the dinner was the statement that said I had a credit which would be applied when I booked, and it was. After booking, the charge was displayed, followed by a reversal. Not sure why yours didn’t work like that . You should contact Princess or your TA.

Two specialty dining events are included in our booking. We were wondering if a booking at the Chef's Table Lumiere could be one of them?

Oh, we DID when we found it. It just made me mad that he was sending us upstairs instead of telling us it was on the other side of the ship.

One of the main dining rooms has always been open for lunch when we embark, although for some reason the staff prefer to send you upstairs to the buffet. We were on the dining floor and asked a staff what dining room was open and he said that we had to go to the buffet. We walked to the starboard side of the same floor and found the open dining room.

Friends who were on Princess last year were put in a special isolation wing of the ship. Are they still doing that or do you stay in your own cabin now? They also were reimbursed for their days in isolation. Is that still the case?

LOVE the ABC's. By far the most interesting of the Caribbean cruises. I'm sooo jealous, but still too wary to get back into cruising. Enjoy.
