Trouble posting photos in cabin review
Cajuntraveler replied to Cajuntraveler's topic in Princess Cruises
Thanks! I'll try again. -
I want to post a review of the cabin from my recent cruise. When I attach a picture (JPG file from my computer) it shows up sideways in the review and I can't figure out how to get it upright. What am I doing wrong?

Princess Cabin Reviews – NO CABIN QUESTIONS POSTED HERE PLEASE!
Cajuntraveler replied to srice's topic in Princess Cruises
I'm trying to post a cabin review with pictures, but photos show up sideways when I drag them to the review. What am I doing wrong? -
Anyone order a hand held shower for their balcony stateroom?
Cajuntraveler replied to brisalta's topic in Princess Cruises
We just got off the Ruby yesterday. Although we requested a hand held prior to our 5 day cruise, I had to ask 3 times before it was finally installed on day 2. The plumber who installed it said he did not have a bracket for it. We tucked it into the grab bar to keep it from dangling into the tub. We were in a reserve mini suite. -
Princess vs "the other lines"- WHY Choose Princess?
Cajuntraveler replied to FrankieJayIII's topic in Princess Cruises
The music walk on HAL is a section of the ship that you can walk from one music venue to another. They have classical music, BBKings blues club (Great blues bands!), Billboard on Board (usually 2 piano players/singers) and Rolling Stone Rock room. In the evening there is continuous music at these venues. I find HAL's theater productions are not as good as other lines, but when I sail on other lines, I really miss the music walk. -

Ruby Princess left the port around 6PM. -
Good screw-top Chardonnay?
Cajuntraveler replied to TravelingCircusof5's topic in Ask a Cruise Question
Two of my favorite Chardonnays are screw top. River Road -Russian River Valley (2019) or Unoaked and Buttercream (2019 & 2020). I always bring screw top wine on a cruise because they are much easier to open, especially if I forget my corkscrew! -
My husband had a recent back injury and may still need a wheelchair for our April cruise. He uses a transport chair for anything other than very short distances. My concern is pushing him in the transport chair on carpeted ship halls. (I have some back issues too, so have to be careful.) Have you had any trouble pushing your husband around the ship? We are driving to the port, so no airport issues. The transport chair is light enough for me to pick up, but I can't handle the weight of a full size wheelchair.

I just reserved parking in the express lot, next to terminal 28. I used the discount code LOVE2CRUISE23. I paid $81 for 5 days. This will be my first cruise out of Galveston so I don't have any experience with other parking options. I chose this lot because it appears to be within easy walking distance of Pier 28 where Princess is scheduled to depart.

Yikes! I too usually transfer to a big box TA, but this time I was past final payment when I booked so could not transfer. (My TA's price was $200 more than I could get direct.) I really don't want a surprise "upgrade" that might not be in my preferred location.
-
Where can you see what upgrade option is on your reservation? I recently booked an cc mini suite for an April cruise on line and I don't remember seeing any upgrade option. I usually use a TA, but I got a better price booking online myself.

How far will porters take luggage in Galveston?
Cajuntraveler replied to Damikaan's topic in Gulf Coast Departures
I understand that parking reservations can be cancelled within 24 hours of departure. Perhaps you can cancel your existing reservation and make one for the express lot. Good luck. -
DH and I usually cruise HAL and X (15 cruises). I have put an April 2023 cruise on hold on the Ruby Princess out of Galveston.(Payment due today!) I'm having trouble deciding whether to purchase the" Plus" package at $60 pp/pd. I may have 2 alcoholic drinks per day and DH doesn't imbibe at all. The package looks like a good value if you have several beverages per day, but not sure it's worth it for us. Can I add the package once on board the ship and use my OBC as partial payment? Any help deciding will be appreciated!

Move up not available, no response from celebrity.
Cajuntraveler replied to whodey319's topic in Celebrity Cruises
When I had the same issue, I learned that my Seattle based big box TA does not participate in Move Up. -
We were in a C1 on Infinity in Nov. 2022. There are 2 US and one 1 euro outlets on the desk/vanity. (If my memory is correct.) There is one euro plug behind the bed, but very hard to access. Room attendant ran an extension cord from the desk to the bedside for DH's c pap. We unplugged the extension during the day and stored it under the bed. We brought a small donut type multi plug so we had enough outlets for charging electronics. Enjoy your cruise.

jelayne - thanks for the info. We will be arriving LAX on a Friday at 2PM in early January and also staying at the Crowne Plaza. Reviews of the CP Hotel have been very mixed, making me a little concerned about our choice. Would you choose this hotel again? Any tips on the hotel, restaurants and transportation to the ship would be appreciated. Hope you have a wonderful cruise.

DH and I will be on Soltice next month. This will be our first experience in a Sky Suite on X. (We usually cruise in SSon HAL-no butler) We always have coffee and a lite breakfast delivered to our cabin each morning. I tip the room service waiter $3-$5 every morning. After searching through the CC threads, it appears that our butler will deliver our morning coffee and fruit plate. Is it appropriate to tip him/her each morning or should we only tip at the end of the 7 day cruise?

On the Solstice Mexico Riviera right now, any questions?
Cajuntraveler replied to NutsAboutGolf's topic in Celebrity Cruises
We will be on Soltice in January 2023 with an overnight in Cabo San Lucas. I've been researching tours in the area. Did you take any excursions in Cabo? Any suggestions would be appreciated. -
In Covid isolation on the Nieuw Amsterdam
Cajuntraveler replied to birdie16's topic in Holland America Line
Sorry to hear you are ill and glad u did the right thing and notified medical. I just returned from my fourth cruise this year and became sick with respiratory issues the day after returning. (2 covid tests came back negative) In May I had covid 2 days after returning from a cruise. I am cruising again in January, but will have my mask on whenever I leave the cabin. Hope the rest of your cruise goes better.
