What is the earliest Heathrow flight you could make after exiting a ship in Southampton on a Thursday? I see a desired flight leaving at 11:55 am. Is this cutting it too close if I did a walkoff?

I hear it is at 10:00pm

How many cruise credits will you get on the 111 day world cruise? Just curious.

You get 5

What time do the production shows start in Princess Theater? 

Thank you

When you log onto your Princess Personalizer, does it still show Crown Princess as your ship? I'm scheduled to sail on the Crown in November. Notice a couple of days ago it switched to Emerald Princess. When I search for my cruise on Princess's website, it does not show up

We are on the November 10, 2019 (21 days). Can't wait!

Pacific Princess is leaving now..

Nice review! We are also sailing our first time on the Royal March 20th. Can't wait!

Thanks for sharing. They opened fine for me as PDF

I was on the 50th anniversary cruise in December aboard the Pacific Princess and the mattresses are hard. I would get the foam pad. I agree too that they seem a little wider than a queen. Can't give you a sure answer.

Enjoy your cruise!

Roz is talking about the official 50th anniversary cruise on the Pacific Princes not just one of the regular voyages Princess has been doing all year long. This one IS s big deal. With a price tag to match. It has been sold out for over a year.

Should be fun. Looking forward to it!

In the Princess onboard accounting system the Shareholder's OBC is a simple credit on your onboard account. Any charges (debits) to your onboard account will be netted against the credits for a net balance. This includes the Hotel Charge (auto-tip). Carnival stock also pays a dividend which is somewhere in the 2-2 1/2% area depending on your purchase price.

And tax free!:)

I guess I should have stated that it's our first cruise so we don't have a priority status.

Have a great time! First cruise is very exciting:)

Thank you for your review. One of my bucketlist trips for sure. I also enjoyed your blog. Couldn't believe what you had to put up with your flight out and your flight back with the morons who you had to sit next to. Otherwise your trip sounded great. And Princess does the silent disembarkation on all their ships.:)

Here's a good tip for packing. If you line your suitcase with a garbage bag. Or buy the XX large ziplock bags and pack your clothes in these, you will never have wet clothes delivered to you again. We were in Long Beach a few years back with torrential rain. It happen right when the bags were being staged to be loaded onto the ship. A lot of fellow cruisers had wet clothes. Our suitcases were soaked, but all clothes were dry.

The hotel burned on April 30. It was a total loss. Here is a posting on tripadvisor about the fire:

Article from the Houston Chronicle about the fire:

Wow..I was not aware of that. Such a great staff there too. Our last day there was April 23 so the fire was one week later. Glad to see no one was hurt. Thank you for the update..

need port/ airport hotels for cruise end of January? have Princess transfers. flying in day before cruise. thx!

We stayed at the Hampton Inn Houston NASA in Seabrook. If you call the hotel they have a guy that works for a taxi company that charges $100.00 flat rate to come get you at the airport and take you to the hotel. From Hampton inn hotel it is a 10 minute taxi ride to the cruise port.

You mention that you have a transfer.Not sure what airport you are flying to, but you would have to stay near the airport to use your Princess transfer. Otherwise if you can get a refund for the transfer before the cruise..Hampton Inn is a great place.

That is great news the the Liberty sails tonight. I was surprised that only 1500 remain on the ship. Should be a fun cruise back. Enjoy!!

Congratulations! Wish you two the best!

Awesome breakdown of your South Pacific vacation. One of the most informative reviews I have read. Thank you for sharing. Pictures were great too. This itinerary is on my bucket list.

Great review of the ship. Thank you for sharing.

Hi Gang,

 

I may have some significant grandchild withdrawals on our cruise. Has anyone used "Facetime" on Princess? We are Princess Platinum so we get some free internet minutes.

 

Thanks, Diane

If Facetime does not work well on the ship, Maybe look for an internet café when you get to port. Depending what itinerary I have seen some close by the ship. Just follow the crew members..they know where they are! Good luck

Makes you wonder if the Pacific Princess will be let go after 2016. It is sad news losing the Ocean Princess.

People are storming JH facebook page saying the porters left there luggage outside and out of no where a major storm hit and soaked everything.. Ruined clothes suits electronics ect...
