Cruisingrampy

Would anyone recommend pr do ypu always go .through the cruisline

They dont have whale watching excursions but is there good chance of seeing any on the RIB boat excursions at these ports?

Has anyone ever done this not through the ship? How would you go about that and would you reccomend?

Whats your thoughts on the new menus? Im not really a fan of them getting rid of the "classics" section

Where can one fly from Southhampton?

Ireland

I would be flying out of southampton after my cruise

If i were to book a flight at 1:00pm the day of debarkation would that be cutting it to close?

Dang that's expensive, $945 for 2 people is about $118/day. $98/day seems really high too, but for only 4 days, not nearly as bad as if it was 7. 
 

You should get your money back within 10 days give or take. 

Its canadian dollars so.thats probbably why haha

$200 cheaper? Are you sure? That seems like an extreme price difference, the likes of which I've never seen reported on here.

 

That would be a $28/day drop in price. Are you sure you're not looking at a price that says something like $72/day, 50% off, and you're thinking that it's 50% off of the $72, when in reality the $72 is the price after the 50% was already factored in?

Its a 4 day cruise for 2 people. Im not sure what the deal was when i bought but it was about 945 in total. The new deal is 98 a day per person. So about 160 bucks 

I bought the drink.package but i now.see its 200 dollars cheaper. How long does the refund usually take if i cancel and buy again

Honestly, I'd consider going back to LAX to use the cruise line transfer.

 

Other than that, Uber or taxi.

Can you book that online or fo i have to phone the cruiseline

Does anyone know what the best way to get from.the hotel.to.the cruise port would be?

I have a promendade view stateroom and was looking at bidding up. Just wondering how come i dont have an option.to.bid for a suite? Is that usually an option?

So another question with the udp i see some saying playmakers is included but on the site it says al a carte is a 35 dollar credit. Just looking for.some clarification 

Im on a 4 day cruise coming up on the navigator have a specialty lunch and dinner booked just wondering if the specialty package is worth it or if the included places are good enough? Its about $340 for the package for the 2 of us

Have only ever done celebrity. How do.princess ships.compare?

The beverage package cost is  $69 pp per day plus 20% gratuity.  Also the All Included rates includes the daily gratuity which varies by cabin category but for deciding which is best use $15 pp per day for these.  That amount can  be added to your fare when you book or charged to your on board account if not paid in advance.  
Every time I have done the numbers it was less expensive to book the All Included rate. 

Where does the $15 a day come from how come that is the formula

That i havent paid in full yet i understand i probbably wont get the deposit back but would i get back the extras i paod for like dining and drinks?

We dont really care about wifi, os it much cheaper to get the cruise only and add the drink package after

Maybe there are better times, but 60% off second guest is a good deal, especially for solo cruisers.

I seen that deal. It was 10 grand even before that and after so the "deal" is suspect other than the OBC you get

Does annyone know around  when the prices are the best to book? 

I was reading the food and drink.here are extra. are the drinks included here when you have the beverage package?

It showed up.today must of just been a glitch. 

Hi i just booked a cruise for this upcoming november and it says beverage package and dining package unavailable at this time. Was just wondering of thats its still to far away to book? 

Looking for a cruise with a decent mix of sea days and port days. Other than the carribean.
