  1. Great pics of your day trip to Avila and Segovia? What tour company did you use and was it 9hrs. Did it seem too long? It’s something I have also looked at from Madrid.
  2. In August, on first day we asked our cabin steward to tape it so wouldn’t shine brightly. Easy for him to do and he said we were the 5th cabin to request it!
  3. I can confirm it’s no problem buying plus once on board. Any waiter will do it for you, no need to go to guest services. Used gift cards and OBC and given $10 credit as medallion not shipped.
  4. We boarded Sat 19 in Barcelona. Dropped off luggage around 12.15, lines moved fairly quickly to check in , pick up medallion and get on board. Probably about 25mins, no hassles. Announced around 1.00 that rooms were available for entry. I found it was quite fine.
  5. Tks for the advice. I do want to see the site but wary of long time in heat.
  6. Did you visit Knossos on your own without a guide. If so, did you think the signage was good enough for explanation. Thanks
  7. Just received the notice about benefits to upgrading from my standard package to plus/premier before my Sat Aug 19 cruise! At least not a surprise after boarding, although reading CC gives you a heads up!
  8. Tks gor heads up for next week! Also for good DIY travel info at ports.
  9. Correct. New booster not approved yet but even old booster wasn’t available near me.
  10. Oh dear, leave Tuesday for EP cruise and was waiting for newest Fall booster. AFAIK Never had Covid (5shots) although travelled internationally past 2years. Called around and locally no vaccines available immediately. Bringing masks, tests and crossed fingers!!
  11. Joining you in Barcelona on the 19th so interested in your comments on the ship, food, wine, entertainment. Thanks for doing a live report. Enjoy yourself.
  12. I haven’t used any taxi but the Rome to Rio app suggests taxi price from centre to airport, approx 15km, $35-45 so Welcome Pickups sounds reasonable.
  13. Unfortunately not. I think OBC can only be used prior for booking excursions. I guess it’s a chance I take.
  14. Would anyone like to guess when Plus package prices might increase? I am still hoping to purchase it at $60 on Aug 19 cruise onboard using my OBC. Hoping that won’t be a new change as well.
  15. I saw it stated that only people with medallions in hand will be in green lane- that means only people living in the USA. Like you I am in Canada and in green lane for my Aug 19 cruise but perhaps it will change over as of Aug 2, who knows.
  16. I bought our tickets online through the official sagrada familia website for Aug 17 and seems like plenty available. Yes, we have a15 min entry time before guided tour start time.
  17. I am interested to hear what happens to you on transition day as we have 2, 7 day Med Btb different booking # cruises in Aug on Enchanted P.
  18. Also doing Enchanted 14 days in August. Did your Istanbul tour include Hagia Sophia and if so, what time did you enter? I had read there were long lines/wait. Tks
  19. No I didn’t. Directly through another airline and received credit voucher.
  20. In my case, I used Princess insurance in Jan 2023 to cancel my Feb 2023 cruise. Lost money because of penalties and given FCC for remainder of fare. FCC valid until end December 2024, not 1 year from cancellation or cruise date. None of this applied to my airfare.
  21. I just inquired June 7 and was quoted standard tour 1 3/4 hr, min 6people per car Pounds 55 pp. tickets included 4sites. Extended tour 2 1/2 hr, min 5 people Pounds 85 pp tickets included 8sites. Not sure if you have to organize own group beforehand.
  22. I don’t know how USD gift cards work on Aus D cruises but only discovered today that I can’t use my USD gift cards to pay for my cruise fare booked in CAD$. I thought they would just convert amount using their exchange posted in personalizer for buying OBC but no go!!! I will have to add it onboard to my account in order to use it.
