My first cruise was on carnival’s Mardi Gras in March 1978. Miami, Nassau, St Thomas. Only time I was in an inside cabin, down below.

ok ok May 4-8/22 sailing, new ship, less then 1800 passengers was a great cruise for us. our cabin steward was wonderful.

Cabin steward must have got it working when we were out, but problem continued each day. No smell., or overflow. had same issues on several princess ships, but never as bad as OP.

I was on Discovery Princess in an aft facing corner suite and had trouble with the toilet not flushing for the 4 days. May 2022.

Wow! Great saving . Thanks for sharing!!!

This was a cruise we were considering since ours from Vancouver got cancelled. congratulations on getting such a good discount. Appreciate your sharing.

Not in your hotel location, but I read that there is testing at LGA , free. worth a look.

Cruiselines usually offer a tour/ transfer to airport. IMO that is best choice for NJ/NYC. They take your luggage. Look at excursion list. I have been stuck in traffic on city bus, & taxi too many times there.

Thanks for sharing. I appreciate your posts! Congratulations on those great fares you scored. dog

Agree. We booked with Patrick Watts for Volunteer Point. So much fun!

I was told on phone to try booking dining after August 1st.

Which cruise for you? I think it is too early for me.

Will do 2 days for antigen!!!

Under FAQ: can I cruise with my family- says cruises entering Canada requires test 2 days prior to sailing for antigen. whereas, in chart- up to date: vax/ booster is 3 days prior. so someone pointed this discrepancy out to me.

I am Not a Princess cheerleader. I apologize for no one else. listen folks, I’ve reached my limit and will move on from this forum.

When can the Covid test be done for a Princess cruise departing NYC Oct 29/22, going to Canadian ports & returning to NYC? Antigen PCR days hours

Let us know how that goes.

Change cruise line. I have never had such issues in my 35+ cruises re: dining. everywhere staffing issues seem to be a big problem.. did any of this happen pre pandemic?

Tour sites in Athens & then lunch in the Plaka, always lively.

Call Princess as soon as they start in the morning. This has been working for me. Solve dining issues while on board the ship. so they can apologize & maybe compensate. Don’t sweat the small stuff.

I did not do this with Princess but with another company. It was near the port, in the evening and very enjoyable. would not choose it for morning.

Some cruises recently had a $1.00 refundable deposit in them. keep checking.

It was in May when we went. It is called GiGis on the Discovery Princess. Excellent food & service. was same pizza from Room Servuce for $3 charge, as well.

If it is offered take advantage of it. $100 pp FCD also tie up cabins. princess cancelled, unexpectedly some of the cruises I had payment on over the last two years. I had flights & hotels etc arranged independently. I was responsible if there were cancellation penalties on those. this time I have 2 cruises as back up—- I do intend on going on them because I have to use FCC by September 30/23. if you really want a certain cabin then book it early.
