  1. We have used Viator all over the world including Mediterranean also airport transfers with an executive car. Always great tours. We plan to use in upcoming RCL transpacific cruise in Australia and NZ. Nice that payment isn’t due until 24hrs before tour. Also will use on our 2023 cruises in Europe. I have full faith in their tours. We have also used Cruise Excursions.com.

  2. Hello to all - this is our first Princess cruise, our history is with Royal Caribbean. RCL charges for use of the solarium. We prefer the quietnesses of the solarium as two 70’s retirees. Is there a charge for this? We are scheduled on the September 24 transpacific on the Majestic out of LA. Really looking forward to this after so many prior cruises since our initial 2020 cancelled and rescheduled. 

    Thanks,

    Ruth

    Once the cruise has been cancelled they cannot transfer money.  You need to wait for the FCC.

     

    That being said you can call and make a reservation and they will out a hold on the cabin and wait until the FCC is issued so that you can use the FCC to cover the deposit.

     

    BTW, I would count on February sailing...look at April as its a safer bet


    ‘That’s what we did once we realized the cruise will not happen we booked with RCL a new cruise the refundable deposit taking advantage of a sale. Then the cruise was transferred to my ta and received the fcc. We saved $$  this way and got the cabin of our choice before the prices increased significantly.  I learned from The cancellation of our March 2020 NZ cruise.

  4. Our March 2020 NZ (cancelled while onboard in Sydney) and April 2020 Transpacific cancelled. Rebooked for March and April 2021. Just decided to move them to fall 2021 Ovation cruises. Fingers crossed that the world will get a better control on the virus and that something new won’t pop up. 😂

  5. We had 3 cruises cancelled for March and April 20 now rebooked for March 21. Yes we will continue to cruise in the future since I just retired in Feb. We were in Australia for just week  returned home. On our Radiance cruise to NZ on board for 3hours before Captain announced NZ closed. We are optimistically cautious and will be patient for all this to pass and a vaccine is available. Stay safe all 🥰 

  6. I'm getting such a kick out of this thread. :classic_wink: April will be my first cruise on Princess, trying to see what the cruises are like on this forum.  I see nothing is new.  We usually use RCCL, Norweigin and Holland America.   

     

    I will approve my husband wearing his silk shorts in the dinning room. 

     

    Happy travels and don't worry!

  7. This is our first trans pacific cruise in April on the Radiance Sydney to Honolulu. With a cruise this long and many sea days, what is the entertainment like? We plan to keep ourselves busy joining in the various activities. How is the meal plan, I would think many repreat menus.  Any special suggestions on how to keep busy other than the usual reading, working out, shows, etc?  I was looking for prior reviews on transpacific, anyone have one??

     

    Thanks,

    Good decision to bring your own and conditioner too if you use it. 

    I have found a good use though for the shampoo/conditioner combo that Princess provides - I use it instead of soap when I shave my legs!

     

    Great idea!!
