While looking at Navigator for the Main Dining room (Not Lido) menus for our upcoming transatlantic cruise, the ‘menu’ tab / link only shows a Brunch menu for both the Breakfast menu and for the Lunch menu. Anybody knows what’s up? Brunch menu shown is limited compared to the old breakfast and lunch menus.

On my February, 2023 NewZealand cruise on the Noordam, the matre’d refused entry into dinner in the dining room to a man in shorts and request he go change into long pants. Don’t remember if it was a gala night or not. Other than long pants, anything else was accepted for dinner.

I won $25 on-board credit in Premier Prizes. I did drink the better wines at dinner, but thought that if I wanted them I would only be charged a few dollars a glass extra over the Plus limit. Didn't sit in the Premier seating for the production show. Specialty restaurants wer nice, but two dinners worth about $75. I ate half of a premium desert during the whole cruise & that was too much. For me, Premium not worth it.

Thanks. Good Advice.

This summer and we do have Princess transfers.

I know, I know,to never fly in the day of the cruise departure; and I don’t think we ever have. However, with our mobility issues, the amount of luggage, and the hassle of getting to and fro from London Heathrow hotels (no dedicated hotel shuttles), we’re arriving morning of Island Princess Southampton departure. Booked a non-stop with 8am arrival, but have read all sorts of posts about delayed flights due to weather and cancelled flights due to mechanical issues. We have the Princess Platinum insurance and even bought the airline flight insurance. So, trying to be proactive and requesting advice and suggestions from others who missed their departure. We do not have EZ Air (booked with mileage). Was Princess Flight delay line available and did it help? Would the airline change our flight to get us to next port of call instead of Heathrow? Start praying for Friendly Skies? And advice appreciated. thanks

If the shower size is a problem, don your Princess robe and go up to the Lotus Spa change rooms on Deck 15 (Sun deck). Change rooms have a steam room, sauna, and full size showers. No charge.

I booked Premium Plus and on my booking it shows all the added benefits including the 2 dinners at a specialty restaurant. Went to the Medallion App and was I able to book regular dining reservations, but when I went to book the specialty dinners at Sabatini's or steak house it showed a credit card charge. Called customer service and they could see I had Premium Plus but said that specialty dinners had to be booked onboard. Comments? Experiences with this?

We had non-refundable OBC from HAL as well as our gratuities pre-paid through an HAL promotion. We could not use the non-refundable OBC for extra / additional gratuities to our cabin stewards.

With the HIA promotion, my spouse and I each have shore excursion credit. My spouse does not / cannot go on shore excursions. I’ve booked 2 shore excusions under their name & credit. Will I be able to go on those excursions in their place? How can I check into the shore excursion on Navigator in their place?

Any recommendations on best way / value for getting bottled water for our cabin? We have the signature beverage package; so can we just ask for small bottles from a bar to take back? Seems like a hassle and a waste of one or two of our 15 daily beverages. Is it better to just take it out of the room minibar? Precruise purchased water packages seem expensive. I saw than you cannot bring any water in a plastic container on board at any port. P.S. my wife will not drink the water out of the tap. Suggestions?

I received an email confirmation from HAL for the stockholder’s benefit. Took about 10 days to process. It said I would be credited upon embarkation. It does not show up on my reservation. P.S. I booked directly with HAL.

Thanks for all the information and replies. Decided to go to an airport hotel upon disembarkation and fly home the next day. Will be checking in 4 hours early.
