On the Royal now and have gotten free tokens no problem from the desk. In fact, I asked for a couple for one load, and she handed me several.

Both detergent sheets and dryer sheets are easy to pack and work great.

Unfortunately not the Royal, which we are currently on. We confirmed today with the food and beverage manager that they have not converted yet.

For anyone sailing on the Royal soon, we confirmed with the manager of restaurant operations that they unfortunately have not made the switch to Lavazza yet. Sure glad we brought our Via.

My husband is allergic to shellfish and neither of us drinks and it was no problem at all. You should still get plenty to eat. And the nonalcoholic drinks were absolutely delicious.

Unfortunately there is not. I liked the Enchanted when we were on it for a TA last March, but I sorely missed a promenade walking track. The upper deck was in full sun and very windy. Hold on to your hat!

By the time you get to the check in desk you’ll have passed where you drop off your luggage. All you’ll have with you at that point are carry ons. I don’t know if the curbside luggage people have staplers. We put our tags in plastic holders and attach them before we are curbside.

Were you able to pick up at the port with no issues? If that’s the worst case scenario, ie it won’t let me change to ship instead of pick up, then I’m no worse off than I am now and I may as well give it a shot. I just don’t want it to mess things up in ways I can’t anticipate.

What is the cut off for changing your medallion order to shipping instead of port pick up? AFAIK you have to cancel the existing order and place a new one. Is it 2 weeks prior to sailing? We sail on the 23rd from Seattle and I'm debating if I just want to pay the darn $10. But then again I'm half afraid to change to change anything this close to sailing, with all the medallion bugs...

Wouldn't Alexa be considered an additional passenger?

Thanks for the photo. How long ago were you on the ship? I'm sailing in about 3 weeks and very much hoping they have upgraded to Lavazza.

Is there anyone currently on the Royal who could report if that ship has made the switch to Lavazza? Thanks 😊

Thanks. I did realize that so I guess I’m asking if there’s anything to see driving up as far as the trolley goes.

We'll be in Honolulu for a day in early October and plan to get tickets for the Waikiki Trolley. One of the four lines, the Green Line, goes up to Diamond Head and the rest of its route more or less overlaps parts of the Red and Blue lines, which we plan to take. My husband isn't up for hiking to the top of Diamond Head, so I'm wondering if it's worth taking the Green route that goes up there. Is there anything to see driving up to Diamond Head without taking the hike?

It has been for our 27 day Vancouver to Sydney on the Royal leaving September 25.

Be sure to double check the expiration dates before pitching. I found that some of mine have had the dated extended more than once and if I hadn't checked (again) I would have discarded tests that were still good. At-Home OTC COVID-19 Diagnostic Tests | FDA

There's nothing on the Princess site about Covid testing anymore. It's been removed from the important notices on our cruise(s) as well.

Our cruise to Sydney leaves exactly four weeks from today so I was glad to see this as well. I’m pretty confident that Princess will drop the requirement in plenty of time. I doubt that they want the headache of requiring testing any more than we do.

I called and got the invitation prior to boarding.

I was not in a suite this past March on the Enchanted but called and was extended an invitation. Someone on our roll call posted the phone number from a message they received inviting them, and I figured the worst they could say was no. I was pretty surprised when she said yes. We enjoyed it immensely. And no, sorry, I no longer have the phone number.

I’ve received three true upgrades recently. Two were from lower balcony categories to a higher category, like BD to BB. Another was from an IA inside to a BC balcony. So they still do happen.

I have a random amount that was credited back to one of my gift cards and would like to apply it as obc to one of my upcoming cruises. But the personalizer only gives me the options of credit card or paypal. Do I have to call in to apply the gift card or wait until I'm onboard? Thx.

No, I was curious what the new bid options would be after getting the upgrade so I went to the bid to upgrade page on the personalizer. I haven’t received a new bid email.
