YOU CAN CALL THEM DIRECT .. 1-888-425-9376

 

I'm on a cruise and am unable to make calls. I finally sent an email but I'm afraid I missed it. 

Thank you

See those three little lines in the top left? Click it.  Then click "itinerary." Then scroll down as you wish. Each day will show either "no planned activities" or "planned activities."

 

Thank you. Ill try again.

On your online Itinerary (available by choosing Already Booked on the Homepage), scroll to the day of your waitlisted excursion. You will have the options of "Modify waitlist preference or Cancel this Shore Excursion?"  If it's a booked excursion you would have the option to "Cancel this Shore Excursion?"

When I go to the website already booked isn't an option anywhere. I clicked manage my cruise but then I get this other page. Any ideas?

I just got an email saying I could go in and book my waitlisted excursion but I can't find it anywhere. I've looked all over the app and the web page and can't find my waitlist anywhere. Help?

When we we're boarding in New York. We lined up at 2:00 and the line was so long that the ship had to leave late to get everyone on. We we're in line for over 2 hours. So you just never know.

Having sailed with Princess 5 times now I am surprised that I hadn't heard of the ducks until now. I certainly haven't seen one on board yet.

 

It sounds like fun but is it frowned upon by the crew or do they generally tolerate it?

 

Where do people hide them? How hidden? How many do people take? Where do you get them? What do you do when you find one?

 

This is a whole new angle to cruising for me... a bit like geocaching on a ship but without the complication of using GPS!

I was told the crew has a contest on some ships for who can find the most ducks. I think that's awesome. They work long and hard let them have a little fun. Right? I've found several ducks on my cruises this will be my first time at hiding them. I don't really care about registering them. Do I really need to register them?

We used to always eat dinner very late and even had been known to go into the anytime dining at 9:00 PM.  We just didn’t understand how anybody could eat at 5:00 PM.  Now that we are seniors, we just can’t imagine eating as late as 7:00 PM.  😆 

We have actually moved on to having dinner at home around 3:30 PM.  We do go to dinner at 5:00 or maybe at 5:20 PM on cruises but usually, we just skip it and eat a nice lunch instead.  
So, I totally get what you mean! 

My husband is starving when he gets home from work. Also, I don't want to do the late entertainment because I do other things after like dancing. Or bed if it's been a long day. Lol

Our tour operator is Lima Tours. Is this the tour guides of any of you? If so, were they good?

And can we use our OBC?

For those that booked the Caymus dinner, once on board, where did you go to book the dinner? The MDR? Also, was the Caymus dinner offered only once or multiple nights? We’re on the Sun Princess this summer and looking to book other specialty restaurants in advance (whenever reservations eventually open!). The uncertainty of which nights it will be offered makes planning a little more challenging!

I was going to ask the same thing. I'm on Sapphire so it would just be Chef's table. How do we book that?

This sounds fun. We're platinum but never done anything like this.

Lol. We always eat at 5:30. We like the early theater. We eat at 5:30 at home too.

Have you tried the UBD? (ultimate balcony dinner)

Price $110 plus gratuity. Total per cabin.

 

It is a real treat.  We book it

on a port stop around 5-530pm.

Close to sail away, for the backdrop.  

 

Thats a great idea too. We'll look into that also. Thanks.

No...there are actually 2 different Winemaker's Dinners. We have never done the $140 Caymus Winemakers Dinner...apparently Caymus is a much more expensive wine than what is served in the "other" (original) Dinner. We have done that $40 Dinner several times. We think it's a great value and look to see if it is available on every cruise we do.

Thank you. We'll look. Just want to do something different this cruise.

Your luggage will go with you and stay at your first hotel on the land tour.  You will need a small carry-on or duffle for your overnight stay at Machu Pichu.  You will be responsible for handling this small one on you overnight.  Note that you will be boarding a crowded train with your stuff, so pack light…take rain gear!  Everything is very casual (think camping) on your overnight…even for dinner.  Get ready for an amazing overland!!!

Thank you for the help. You never know what to expect till you're there and it's a little nerve wracking. Better for me to know. Lol. I'm really excited!

True.  Cusco is about double that but MP is only 9,000.  (Copper Mountain range)  Most of the rain was light but often...except for one day when the skies opened up. I have a very light weight rain jacket from Columbia that I ordered a size up so it fit over my hoodie.  I also bought a pair of Goretex (waterproof) Saucony sneakers that have hiking boot like treads on the sole.  They worked great.  1 big suitcase for the cruise and 1 smaller bag, duffle is fine, for the land tour.  

We spend lots of time in the mountains so I think we'll be good. We stop in Leadville every time we visit my parents and they're at over 11,000 I think. I have hiking boots that I waterproofed and a good rain coat. This is all very helpful. I'm always nervous when I don't know what to expect. This is extremely helpful.

Thank you so much. This is all very helpful. I'm not sure how it's done by the cruise line but we're at a different hotel every night so I don't think you could stay there. 

We live at over 6000 feet so probably not the same elevation issue. We're in Colorado. Did it rain alot? So we do need 2 luggage? We we're going to do a suitcase and a duffel bag. Take the duffel to MP. There are just too many questions. Lol

Thank you for the good info. I'm excited.

So, just like slacks and a nice sweater for dinner? We figured jeans every day for bugs.

I did this last March and it was amazing. I mostly wore jeans while in the valley.  I took a hoodie and a light rain coat with a t-shirt underneath and I was fine. I took a pair of slacks for dinners.

We did not leave our luggage in Lima because we did not go back to Lima except to change planes at the airport to fly to Santiago. They told us that's a mistake that Princess has not corrected in their instructions.  Everything went with us.  But,  we had a carry-on size to live out of while traveling because it was easier.  Princess did a fantastic job.

Be prepared to eat a lot of quinoa. Let me know if you have more questions. 

Thank you for the good info. I'm excited.

We arr doing the MP after our upcoming cruise in December. If you open or print out the full itinerary (from the Princess website in the cruise personalizer) to see the details of the tour. It will have hotels, what meals are included and what you will be doing each day. There is info there on packing as well. Essentially, you leave large luggage in Lima and only take a small bag on MP part.

Thank you for responding. I did know about the luggage.

We're doing the princess land tour of Peru (Machu Piccu) before our cruise in a couple weeks. Has anyone done this? Have any packing tips? Dress for dinner? Bug problems? Exc..?

TIA

Thank you. I'll look

We did the Chef’s Table on the Sapphire last week and it was $118 including wine. I don’t know the price without. That includes surcharges. There was also a Super Tuscan wine lunch but I don’t know the price. 

That's great info. Thanks. Did you enjoy it? Was it worth the money? I think our cruise is the 2nd part of a b2b so it might be full but I'm interested.
