Wash hands.
 
 
Don't touch face. 
 
 
Don't cruise if you're scared, wait for a vaccine for Covid-19, drowning, Noro, heart attacks, etc. 
 
What did the cruise Industry implement during H1N1 and SARS? 
 

I wish they would ban smoking, but how would that help in preventing the spread of Covid-19?

Because when people blow out their smoke it is akin to sneezing or coughing. They are spreading saliva particles etc.

I just love a smoke free casino. We have one in Biloxi we go to just because it’s smoke free. It’s great.

Has anyone give any given thought to or has any information about any changes coming to the casinos.  
 

I would think they need to go smoke free for the foreseeable future. Info at the moment says covid is most transmittable through droplets (i.e. saliva or sneezing). 

I really like a smoke free casino anyway but seems that would make sense for the cruise and add a mask. 😣

Is there a place online where you can see what the expected occupancy is for your sailing on Royal?  I was just curious to know and then be able to watch the numbers regarding how many may be canceling due to the COVID-19.

We don't sail until May to Alaska but with all this hoopla, I'm afraid the cruise ships are going to cancel sailings themselves.

TIA!

Considering that TS, possibly hurricane, Matthew is predicted to be still well in the Caribbean on Sat, Oct 1, I doubt you'll have any problems. Matthew isn't projected to be turning north till maybe zero Sat/Sun, with it maybe hitting Jamaica and environs by Monday. So yeah - nowhere near the Regal on Sat..

If - and it's a big IF - Matthew survives all of its possible projections, it will take at least a week or more to get up to the east coast....

Very true...I guess with it being hurricane season it just made me wonder the "what ifs"...

I'll be happy to just be on the ship. I don't care where they take us lol. Just please don't cancel it altogether.

:p

Thank you!

Concerned about a tropical storm (97L) that may track up the east coast. Our local meteorologists say it has a good chance of developing into a hurricane and be up the east coast by the 7th. Our cruise is on the 12th.

God forbid that the east coast be hit by such a storm. That being said, if ports or cities were damaged, what happens? Is the cruise completely cancelled or do they skip the ports that are affected (making it a sea day) and continue to ports that were not affected?

Thanks for any input!

The Canned Soda Package, $11.50 for six cans with gratuity, is included as an option with all other beverage packages on the website. That is a savings of $0.38 per can or about 17%. It is "easy" to find the packages if you have been there before and know where to go. For "newbies," not so easy [emoji848]

Unless I'm just not making myself clear...

I "found" it online. My point is when you log in to your Cruise Personalizer/Onboard Reservations...it is not available to select. All the other packages are there, just not the Canned Soda Package. We had to call to get it ordered ahead of time.

You're definitely right that its on the link that you provided, but when you go into your Cruise Personalizer/Onboard Reservations...you can't select it anywhere. It's not listed as an option.

Everything else is there (Coffee cards, Beer packages, water packages etc.),

just not the Can Drink Packages.

You will have to call to purchase them.

Yeah, I wouldn't mind bringing my own but we are boarding in New York and I don't know where in the world I could even buy them.

You have Publix in Boston? Wow! I thought that was a southern thing. We love them here in Alabama.

I learned something new today! I thought that if you wanted sodas for your fridge etc (aside from the soda packages) you would have to bring them on the ship with you.

long story short...

While on the phone with Princess buying our drink packages yesterday, we learned that you can buy 6-packs of sodas through Princess. It is $10 per 6-pack. Not exactly cheap but I don't mind paying for the convenience.

I do think they should put that on the website so that you can purchase them easily though...as it is now you have to call to be able to order it.

Sometimes you just aren't in the mood to meander all over the ship for something to drink. :p:cool:

"Why is everyone running?" Lol.

Have you ever traveled to Quebec from Princess that includes the overnight stay in Quebec?

I'm curious how that works. Do they let you come and go freely that entire night or do you have to be back on the ship at a certain time?

Thank you!

Hi!

We are booked for the 10 day, Oct 12th sailing NB from New York to Quebec.

Can anyone tell me where you embark at in New York and what time you are allowed to Embark?

Thank you!

Travel industry term for passengers.

Thanks!!

Pax?

We were hoping to sail on Royal next Sept or Oct (2016) with one of the port cities being Quebec, but there are no listed. There shows just one now in 2015.

Do they no longer sail to that port or maybe a new dates have not been listed.

Thanks!

Thank you so much. We've doubled checked with princess and they are telling us the same thing. She's just frantic since we have been planning over a year. :/

We are leaving in a few hours. My mom has lost her passport. We are on a Roundtrip from Seattle. Does she have to have the passport to get on the boat? Get off for the white pass train and get off for Victoria?

Any help is appreciated.

I'm reading that you can bring those miniature alcohol bottles through TSA as long as they meet the ounce requirement and they are in the quart size see through bag that they require. Anyone ever done this?

What type of ginger are you guys referring to? Like a ginger candy?

We are booked for Alaska round trip from Seattle this September. I am a bit confused about the Victoria port stop. It is for only 5 hrs (7pm-Midnight).

Anyone have experience with this? I assume that they only port there because the have to? Is it normally dark in Victoria starting around 7pm? I am having a hard time wrapping my head around sight seeing in the dark.:confused:

Thanks in Advance!
