Forgot to thank you for your response...thanks! 🙂

If I were landing at an international airport, I may at times pre-book an airport vehicle pick-up service to take me to the hotel. But how would one arrange that for a cruise terminal, when I have no idea what time I would be getting off the ship and, after completing all the customs/immigration processes, finally be available for pick-up? Has anyone any experience with this? Thanks.

Does anyone have a link yet? Despite searching, I can't seem to find where to watch this.

We don't like eating too early, especially if we have been grazing throughout the day, but we too like to eat with others and share experiences and life stories, but the latest we could book on this cruise and still eat with others on any night was 06:20pm. Don't understand why.

Thanks for explaining that.

Thank you for your responses. Now that cruising is well and truly afloat again, perhaps we will see a return to old favourites? But speaking of missing dining options, I notice that the Royal Princess cruise to Japan in April 2024 from Sydney does not offer the Symphony Dining Room on Deck 5 as an option at all, just Allegro and Concerto on Deck 6. Have they lost a whole dining room?🤔

Yep, can confirm that. Japanese Government has released the following statement: https://www.au.emb-japan.go.jp/files/100498010.pdf

Does anyone know how to book Crab Shack on Royal Princess? I do not see it even mentioned as a specialty dining option by Princess, yet I keep seeing reviews of the experience on other websites, such as only offered on one night during a cruise, etc. I am on the Sydney to Japan cruise in April next year, my wife loves seafood, so wondering how one secures this 'special treat'. Thanks 😊
