Can't do that on Viking .... its got a no one under 18 rule. As to the medallion. Ppl are overthinking this based on my 6 MC cruises. You can turn it into just a room key or take advantage of so many options. It's up to the individual. And no where is it written that you need to use it onshore. As to DMW, I tried it once. Didn't fit my style and never went back. I eat when I'm hungry. I have no idea what time that will be tomorrow

I'd really like to know: Ship: Sailing Date: Category of Cabin Bid On: Bid Offered: Accepted (Y/N): Do I book a lesser cabin then bid the difference between short notice price & what I'm paying? Example: book coastal cruise at $×. Price drops to $× less 500. Do I offer to give up the 500 & upgrade? Or do I ask for a price reduction??

Given all the current airline schedule changes, here's hoping that they move your departure back 5 or 10 minutes! Pre-covid that happened to my brother and sister-in-law. Their flight was scheduled out of Heathrow at 3:45 (IIRC) and the Windsor Castle disembarkation tour was only for passengers on flights after 4 pm. A few months before the flight the schedule changed to departure at 4:15 pm. Or you could book fast track assistance https://airssist.aero/fast-track/Buenos-Aires-airport-in-Mitu/

I'd take it. They usually give a ridiculous amount of time to get through security and its only 5 minutes short. My disembark tour in Newark says for flights after 5pm and my flight is for 4:45. I'm good

I'm just bumping this bc I think it should be pinned just like the MC, M&G, and cabin review threads.

Never experienced any staff mustering the lifts. Just not a Princess thing Yes. That was my experience at 1st dinner on the Ruby Princess out of San Francisco April 23rd. Although I got on rather quickly, others waited hours. Even worse in Seattle June 30th. But that was the ports issue. No excuse for that April 23rd dinner. After 1.5 hrs I left the dining room. I had bread. Saw the show and went back to mid ship dining room where there wasn't an issue. Continued there for the rest of the cruise and always had the same table / wait staff. Ignored DMW for upcoming cruise.

Towns changed a little. Now horses have to be tied up behind Skipolinis instead of the club and we've got a sports bar. 2nd parts good, limiting where horses can stay when cowboys visit the saloon isn't good but maybe new owner will try to fix that

Clayton Club. There's only 1 bar in Clayton. Only 1 block downtown

So you're a newbie compared to me. 😁 Never have had an issue with Bart. Take mass transit all the time from Clayton. Sorry about your chocolates. But they also sell them at the airport and they're so much better than what I used to bring home from the ship Yes. You've got it worse than the delta. You can't jump on Bart, take less than an hours ride to drop temps 20°

Fortunately I only have to walk 1/4 mile to take a bus to Bart to SFO. Mass transit air conditioned. Although it was 95° today so walking Tuesday will be problematic. It'll still be fine. Not horribly hot in California

A few points: the 3rd bed on Royal Class is flush into ceiling when it exists. That said according to: cruise deck plans* L117 doesn't have a ◇ or * so it's just for 2 people. *https://www.cruisedeckplans.com/DP/deckplans/deckbydeck.php?ship=Enchanted-Princess&deck=16

I've often stayed in rooms zoned for 3+ but in that that other bunk is fully flush into the ceiling it doesn't matter. I just see a line in the ceiling. Which ship class are you looking at?

My choice for my next cruise. Last time it was Dove Milk Chocolate. But I thought apple & caramel would be a good fall choice.

Recently Virgin Atlantic has been landing early and my flight next week is only 2/3 full so I should make the bus (giving myself 1.5 - 1.75 hrs)

Does Princess still offer a shuttle from the port to Belfast city centre like in 2018?? What is the current charge? I know I can walk to HOHO stop (Titanic experience) but would rather just catch it at city hall

Same experience. My Australia to Hong Kong 17 day cruise was canceled & I accepted the 21 day Australia to Japan cruise. Same room. Same price. Even though it's 4 more days. Lucked out FINALLY!! I no longer dread redeployments

So it sounds like its working if it costs 9.99 a day for everyone (then Platinum and Elite get 50% back onboard as OBC).

Thanks. I didn't buy the add ons & carrying on luggage to avoid loss / delay in Heathrow. Will be looking for white wine.

I've decided to go to Southampton 2 nights early. 8/31: get off bus at 1600 (hopefully) & pick up liquids i couldn't pack st ASDA. Walk to dinner staying at Moxy as its inexpensive & you say there's plenty of restaurants nearby? 9/1: No idea what to do but thinking of going to DMB for dinner. 9/2: board. Question is: is a day in Salisbury a better option or just stick to Southampton as it's only a day. Been to Bath & Stonehenge, spent a month in London a decade ago

Oops. My cruise is Sept 2nd so its got different rules?? Anyway you'll get a very clear (IMHO) email 14 days before embarkation. I just want to get through e-gates and out to the bus station in hopefully an hour. Carryon only

Agree 1000%!!! FWIW I experienced the same thing last December in Caribbean. For those who are boarding in 2023 (myself included) check back 2 months before the cruise.

Yes, my Azores Tours requires €30 (+ tip?). So I'll need to find an ATM in Cobh. Are small denominations still available? Haven't been to Ireland since 2018

Testing is required but self test antigen is permitted. So test & report, no certificate required. You will get an email 2 weeks before your cruise explaining this

Where do I find it?? Is the pass good on busses or just glider? Did Princess or the port run a shuttle to the city center?
