The only option for Blaze Comedy for my April cruise is “Add to calendar” which can only be done after you board. I had previously assumed there was no way to reserve prior to boarding, but now I’m wondering if all the dates have already sold out.

Thank you. I’m wondering if the reason most of the activities are no longer showing for my sailing is due to the fact that the original itinerary had Haiti and they had to substitute another port in its place. It’s just odd that the activities suddenly disappeared last week.

I'm also on the April 7th sailing and I'm not seeing hardly any events listed in the Daily Planner app. It did last week but pretty much the only events showing on the Daily Planner now are the shows which you have to make reservations for. Prior to last week, we were able to bookmark events like the comedy shows but they're no longer showing. For example, for Day 1, the Daily Planner starts at 6 AM and then the next time listed isn't until 7 PM. Surely there are many activities taking place on the ship between 6 Am and 7 PM. Are you seeing the same thing or is something wrong with my iPhone? Is this normal so close to the sailing?

Hi All, I will be on a cruise that will be visiting St. Maarten and St. Thomas in April. I'm trying to remember whether it's necessary to bring our passports with us when we step off the ship to visit these ports. We both have passports so that would not be a problem, but I'd rather not bring them unless necessary due to the possibility of losing them. Can someone please refresh my memory if it's necessary to bring our passports in these ports? Thanks in advance for any feedback.

Hi All, I will be gong on a cruise in April with a stop in St. Thomas. I'm trying to decide which beach to visit that day. I have it narrowed down to Magen's Bay and Sapphire Beach. I know Magen's Bay has calm waters. I'm wondering if Sapphire beach also has calm waters as or if it has big waves. The person I'm going with likes calm waters. If Sapphire also has calm waters we'll probably go there as I have been to Magen's Bay already but that was about 10 years ago. Can someone please let me know how these two beach compare, and specifically whether the waters at Sapphire beach are calm and similar to those at Magen's Bay? I appreciate any feedback.

I’m going on the same cruise and also flying from Newark to Vancouver. The only difference is our flight is July 3rd. Really hoping this dispute gets straightened out.

I'm sailing on the Crown Princess in July and I'm not as concerned about the shower head as I am about the mattress. I've read that the mattresses on this ship are really poor to the point that some people complained about getting a bad back from sleeping on them. I really hope it's not as bad as it sounds as getting a decent night's sleep can go a long way towards an enjoyable vacation.

This is very helpful. I very much appreciate that you took the time to come back here after your cruise to share your observations. We have 6:40 PM dinner reservations in the Michelangelo dining room so very similar to yours. I have decided that I will wear the dress shirt and pants (without the jacket) on formal night as I had originally considered. Thank you and everyone else who weighed in for your very helpful suggestions.

That’s very helpful. For some reason I think of Princess as being strict with their dress code but maybe that was in the past. Thanks!

Thank you. Not sure what Alaska gear means. What it be out of place if I were to wear a nice shirt and dress pants without a tie or jacket on formal night? I’d rather not pack a jacket as suitcase space will be limited but want to dress respectfully and not stand out.

When you say about half the ship was formal, what do you mean by formal? Do you mean half the men were wearing tuxedos or do you mean they were wearing suits or jackets and ties. I’m going on an Alaskan cruise next month and it’s my first on Princess so I’d like to know how most people dress on formal nights.

Hello everyone, I will be going on my first Princess cruise in July. It is an Alaskan cruise. I'm trying to figure out what clothes I will need to pack for dinner in the MDR. I am familiar with Royal Caribbean and to a lesser extent Carnival, but have no experience with either Princess or the Alaskan itinerary. I have heard that people tend to dress more casually on Alaskan cruises, but I also believe that people tend to dress up a little more on Princess than the other two lines. I will be wearing a nice dress shirt and pants on formal night but am wondering if I need to pack a sports jacket as well. I'd rather not as space in the suitcase will be limited. Also, am I right to assume that a polo shirt and a nice pair of jeans are what most people wear for dinner on casual nights? Thank you in advance for any help or suggestions.

That is good to know. Surprised they can't fix something that seems so simple.

I'm on the same August 18th cruise. I also received the Travel Authorization today, and like you, the printout is cutoff on the bottom. As long as we have the email authorization on our phone, I think we should be good.
