It worked. We didn't log out but deleted old number, went back a page, then went back to the screen and scanned the new passport with the correct numbers. One more step off the list. Thank you

Enjoying your posts. We are on the Enchanted in July . First time on this ship ( 20 total with Princess). Thank you all for taking the time giving us insights and hints.

Precruise shouldn't be this complicated. We are trying to update to our new passport numbers. Filled everything in and are unable to " save". Both of us read thru and everything seems to be filled correctly. We tried online, that was no help..PacngGoNow is correct, Ocean Ready link does not work. The cruise is in July so we have time to straighten it out but if there are suggestions... Please let us know. No wonder the drink package is so popular !!

That sounds like it ! The drink I had was clear but tastes like choc with ice and mint leaves on top. Others that have tried and its all.cocolate ( no). Thank you. I am going to write that down and see if it can be replicated elsewhere. Nothing like a good bartender !!!!

While on the Sky Princess we had a mint choc martini in from the bar at Princess Live. We have been on other cruises and have not yet found anyone to even come close. Most want to give a choc martini with chocolate on the glass and a mint leaf , way too sweet. Anyone on now to help me find the recipie . And if you have not tried one.....you are welcome !!!!

Sounds like I don't have to book an excursion to have a good time exploring. I enjoyed the mention of the barber. We are on a 28 day cruise and my husband wanted me to bring clippers ( No!) Did you have Euros or pay in dollars/ credit card ? We are debating how much we should bring in Euros to cover the little things. Timing of this port will be perfect for his haircut, its a Saturday so hoping they will be open. Thank you

Hiring a taxi is usually our go to at many ports as long as our port days are on the longer side ( allowing for traffic, weather etc) We have met some very nice people that way. We usually ask.." Show us your town and what you do, where the locals eat " rather than a managed tour. Thank you for giving us that perspective on this port.

You have that right! We booked under a sale that gave us 300.00 PP toward excursions. We booked 2 ( and had to add 10.00 to the total) . Since Azores is the last port I want to make sure we get back on time. Its a long ride back to the USA.Thank you

Thank you. We are doing that sailing Nov 2024 so that gives me a good idea of what to expect. Mother nature has her own agenda for sure. I believe just booking thru the cruise line is what we may do and keep an eye on the weather and their cancellation policy. I don't want to leave it to chance at the port as we may never get to the island again and it looks beautiful. Do you remember the name of the private tour company ?

Anyone been to the stop in the Azores ? We have been looking at excursions and a common theme are the words rain and fog so we hesitate booking. Are there people in the port offering last minute excursions ?

When we went to put down a deposit on the 25 day I hate to imagine my face when he said 600.00 , not 200.00 as I thought. I had not turned over the flyer. Thank you for posting the backside.

When thinking of putting down a FCD here is something we learned. It was not just 100.00 for all. We booked a 25 day and the FCD was 300.00 per person. I was hesitant but its refundable up to final payment. I am not sure what the rule would have been if we put down a 100.00 future cruise deposit and after getting home booked the longer cruise. Only gain was getting an extra 75.00 PP added to the perk for booking onboard. We did not do the HIA and I believe being more than a year away we may have gotten free gratuities. Maybe Miss G can post the backside.

We booked onboard. First put down a FCD and used it right away towards the cruise we wanted to book. There will be a paper explaining extra bonus $ you will receive (depending on how much your deposit is for the length of the cruise.) Picked our room . Done !

We used it a few years ago and it was fine. We just considered it another " excursion ". Bus was comfortable. I believe there is a bathroom. You will stop at the border and disembark the bus and there is a bathroom there. You lose about 45 min or more there depending on how many busses arrive at the same time. I think that factors in the 5 HR time. I don't remember the exact times you board the bus but its among the first group to get off the ship. Yes, flights from Seattle are much more reasonable ! I would do it again, no issue.

Thanks, we actually stood on the top deck beneath the big ball thing ( was that for internet ?? ) but calls dropped. Actually it was fine because the kids always seem to be so busy to stop and talk. Texting and emailing was fine.Just thinking forward to the longer trip and who knows, 6 of those days are at sea across the Atlantic so not sure how the signal would be. We booked the HIA for our transatlantic a while back before they started to add the early booking promo so no gratuities included. To us that's a big perk. As for drinks..on a recent 7 day ( no HIA) I had 5 drinks total. Hubby had more,lol Coffee was great even in the buffet so no need for fancy. One thing on HA, they still had happy hour so 3 pm we could be found in the lounge! Win/win . End of the cruise we came back with 60.00 in our favor( and it was posted on our CC 3 days later ).
