A final is suppose to be emailed the next day. We did not receive one so I contacted Princess they replied that they would send one out by email. As others have suggested check your account frequently or even every day. We checked ours every day and do have a copy of most of the final day. Waiting for email from Princess to verify charges.

On boarding the Regal in Galveston my wife was sent to the security table, they made her get rid of a small ziplock bag of banana chips and some peanuts she had these in a shirt pocket. Glad they didn't see on the luggage scan the other large bag. We probably would have gotten thrown in jail for smuggling.😉😁

Flew into IAH last Sunday to go to Galveston via Princess transfer. After a wait of over an hour they finally decided they had found a bus . there was a total of eight people in this group of passengers We finally get to a bus that is mostly full. People say they have been on board for over an hour. After setting for another half an hour we leave terminal. Now I will add we have used Princess shuttle before and never had any kind of a problem. People on board are talking about how disorganized things have been . We finally are on our way to Galveston about half way ther driver pulls bus over, not sure to exit or go straight hmmm. A while later 25 miles out of Galveston another stop, driver on phone later find out this bus should have another group on board. Now there is more talk about how unorganized things were at airport. Phone conversation they made a suggestion that driver turn around and come back to pick up other passengers. That was vetoed luckily, I'm afraid there could have been a mutiny on the bus. We eventually get to port and it's onboard the ship yay. Come to find out this poor driver who spoke very little english had never made this run before, problem not his fault but more than likely one of his worst day's. After talking to others on the ship I kept hearing the word disorganized at the airport. Talked to one couple who had a transfer booked said they finally took an Uber to Galveston. Yes I realize there are times when things happen, will I use Princess transfer again yes. All is well we are on board enjoying another cruise, abit rough due to wind😁cruise on.

Finally after many cruises we put a small magnetic placard of a hockey player on our door. Guess we will leave our sign home at the end of March.😦

Served on a bun sandwich style????😉.

Cruise from Galveston in March, will be flying into IAH . Will arrive 8:30 A M and taking a Princess shuttle to the ship. Hoping to be able to have time to purchase several bottles of wine. Has anyone done this in the past, looking for some guidance on this . Yes I am aware that you can purchase wine at the airport just want info about doing it before boarding shuttle.

Be sure to smile when looking up.😁

Furnish myself and wife with a balcony cabin for the cruise, we will be your butler and maid for the cruise. Text me we can work out details and references.☺️

Does Princess offer l.uggage ez check at Southampton?

Nuuk, nanortalik, and Qaqortoq, I realize these are small ports kind of off the beaten path so to speak. Looking for opinions from those who have done this cruise, yay or nay. This would be in August of 24 from Boston, have been to the other ports on this cruise.

Is there a charge for the regular brewed coffee at the I C? Am aware that specialty items one needs a plus pkg for drinks and that food there is no charge.

I realize that reasonable is different for everyone. Am looking for a hotel fairly close to port, where I will not have to leave an arm or leg. Possibly a shuttle service and restaurant .Have plenty of time to do my research, still looking for opinions if you have stayed at a hotel that matches these questions.

Robes are available just ask cabin steward, they come in size small. A size that will not fit at least 75% of cruiser's.😉😃

Congrats Hank you win the prize for the best answer to original question. You covered all bases and gave a very helpful answer. I agree about doing one's own booking rather than Princess due to cost. In the past we have always checked Princess cost for hotels, always do our own tho. Seeing as how this would be our first time out of Boston just like to check out all possibilites. Thanks again now on to further research.

Coral thank you for the answer to my original question, which some had a problem with. As my PCC is out of office on weekends this saved me from having to bother her on Monday.

Thanks for all of the reply's, one question tho why does Princess list Boston as a city they sail out of. As much time as I have spent on the Princess site over the years I was pleased to see the departure and hotel site on Princess. Guess one is never to old to learn something new. Usually travel from other ports around the country, N E would be something new Seeing as how princess has listed Boston as a departure then where do they depart from. Past year Boston was also mentioned, either that or I had one heck of a senior moment. Again thanks to all who responded to the question, looks like it is time to call my PCC.

It never ceases to amaze me how one can ask a specific question and then get answers that do not really pertain to the actual question. Is there anyone out there that could possibly give me a correct answer to my question? If you do not have a correct answer don't bother replying just to add to your number of post's. To quote a person who is quite often in the news come on man or ladies.😉😁

Have to agree with this post, we were on from 9/29 the trip was great. The only negative was our late arrival in Fll which could not be avoided Princess was good at helping those with independent air. Although with people leaving and those waiting to board it was a cluster getting to transportation outside. We were last off at 10:30, it was close to 12:30 before we boarded the transfer bus. Home in Nebraska safe and sound looking back on a wonderful trip.

Looking at a cruise from Boston, overnight stay. Which hotels are used by Princess, so one can arrange a transfer to port from hotel?

Just off Regal full ship, only felt crowded at times. Theater was packed every night , if you want a certain area go early for a seat.

For the average passenger these days, the princess robes are a joke. Ok anyone out there laughing yet? As a side note Holland robes even fit a somewhat larger person like myself. Please cheerleaders don't be snide and suggest I just sail with Holland, as this will show your lack of @&%$. For the record I do not sail for the size of the robe as I usually just go commando in the cabin.😁

Currently on the same cruise, abit slower than at home but not slow enough to bother complaining about. In a perfect world there are no speed bumps, although I don't think there is such a place as perfect. Perhaps for a brief period we all need to go back to the past before WiFi, cell phones and so on. Last night before the show started in the theater as I sat in the back as I looked out over the crowd it was like a sea of firefly"s glowing from the phones. No wonder some people can not converse anymore it is becoming a lost art..

Perhaps it was a formal ball cap, considered appropriate where he was from.😁😉

Leave bathroom light on, close door so just abit of light shines thru the opening. For the men who get up at night having a light in the bathroom makes the stewards job of cleaning alot easier. To use an old saying stand closer it is shorter than you think.😁😉

Coffee drinker here, the wife and I go because it gives us something else to partake of on the cruise. She probably enjoys it more than I do, tho as I have gotten older and mellowed out it gives me a chance to socialize.😊
