  1. I don't know about access facilities at the stations. Try https://www.dublinpublictransport.ie/dublin-trains#:~:text=Nearly all DART stations provide,being Greystones%2C Killiney and Sutton.
  2. Sometimes the first few tenders don't get enough to fill as they go before the first tour and those with the tickets don't show. if it is one of the no Dart dates it is not clear what people will do. Sunday Dart starts 9:20 should be less demand for early tenders.
  3. The issue I see and why Haven & Yacht club are successful, you need everything exclusive behind the magic doors, cabins, restaurants, lounge, bar, deck...... you don't have to go far to get access to everything, restaurants are steps away from your exclusive lounge and bar.. RCI and Celebrity tried to patch up older designs to provide the facilities to try to compete and it took time Why Princess did not take the opportunity to go ship in a ship with a brand new ship is surprising, MSC and NCL are on multiple iterations of the concept while princess is patching up old designs to try to get more exclusive(more $) like others did years ago, what we have is a private sun deck with a lot of suites below it.
  4. That's my understanding as well. Princess have given many the impression that the medallion is somehow smart and core to the whole medallion experience. They could go back to cards and the only thing that gets lost is the extended proximity ability. All actions could go back to tap.
  5. To go to royal yacht they need to route to Newhaven not the airport
  6. We find on most of our cruises the times we can get a decent data mobile signal is sufficient for our internet needs(In port and 1-3 hours arriving/leaving) Data is cheap(£1-£2 15GB unlimited calls/txt in UK) for us in the UK/Europe and for the times we need non covered areas there are SIMS available for the £10-£20 with enough data..
  7. Thay don't have any information on the Medallion. In simple terms they are an active RFID with an unique ID that has longer range than a passive RFID like in a cruise card That ID is used to do the things that happen.
  8. Edinburgh. Look up x99 cruise bus(30min depending on traffic). £12(2024) and includes an all day transportation ticket. (Princes on your own $100) Once in the city take the tram to Royal Yacht area.
  9. We are resident UK with UK insurance. None of the insurance we have used have rules you must book your travel only in UK. One rule is the travel starts in UK and ends in the UK.
  10. When the app plays up if it does not resolve, uninstall and reinstall has worked for me.
  11. Our drink consumption is biased which does mean on sea days where the 15 limit is a lot easier for me to hit we have had to make sure that I keep head room on my account if the OH goes off to bed earlier than me, got caught hitting 15 in Skywalker early morning, I understand the app now shows your count so easier to keep an eye on, making sure you don't get them allocated to one.
  12. Same here I do mass searches sort on price, on TA is all cruises lines. Then free out the short ones and look for something I like. Being able to switch to solo rate for the search is very useful. There was a solo misprice(UK) a few years back that got bargain suite rates on a few cruises Also remember if a couple and there is zero solo supliment you can book 2 cabins(eg a balcony with cheap inside opposite) with different experience, if one is a none drinker go standard and the drinker goes plus or premier. (Double your Elite bar setup)
  13. Unless it is urgent I find mornings are best as you don't have the 4/5... beer head talking when you go late.
  14. There may have been 2 available someone did bid more than you but you were second. The lack of transparency allows this sort of attempt for more money.
  15. As said tips when done are at much lower levels than US. Cards are used for nearly everything now. We break bigger notes down fairly quickly even for smallish spends use a big note. We get a better rate using a multi currency card and local ATM over change before we leave. Even at home in the UK I change anything £20+ down into 10s 5s ASAP and like a selection of £2&£1 coins. $tips will be a pain for locals they will still stay thanks with a silent cus.
