  1. I've been on 2 land visits to Japan Train stops are announced in English as well as in Japanese Signage uses English lettering It is easier than you imagine to take trains in Japan
  2. We have sailed 3 times with the app and NOONE has ever looked at the qr code Your medallion is your "boarding pass"if you are in the green lane
  3. I haven't flown them but I'd take a layover in Iceland and spend a few days there BTW you may get more air info on the airline forum of trip Adviser
  4. Dh thinks the filet is the best he's ever eaten! I love the lamb We look forward to eating in the Crown Grill on e v ery cruise!
  5. There's No actual boarding pass If you fill everything out on the medallion then that's it
  6. Trip Advusor also has folks on the ground in their Mazatlan forum
  7. Oh well! I spoke too soon! I just made 1 more Crown Grill reservation for May and v for the first time the charge DID show up! What a pain!
  8. For me the app shows v the charge for first night complimentary suite dining in Crowne Grill BUT the charge n ever actually goes on my credit card! I have done this so far for 4 cruises
  9. People actually IN Mazatlan are expecting this situation to be under control by the weekend It is very specific to an area of Mazatlan and is not anything to do with the c rest of Mexico! It is specific to one gang c who's v leader has been arrested
  10. It depends on the specific plan and also what ever medical coveragenyou have here in the usa
  11. We are very low maintenance people but all these wonderful experiences sound great! Can't wait!
  12. There is an active roll call for this sailing We've been on 3 Princess cruises since covid and NOONE has asked us our boarding group I would keep checking but not worry about it at all
  13. Thanks for writing! Do they come to your cabin each day or do you call them?
  14. Hi Taking our first Celebrity cruise in October for our anniversary Have not used the services of a butler,so am wondering how you all have employed them? Thanks for any thoughts
  15. The only possibly good food on NCL is in their specialty restaurants The mdrmis sad and the buffet is like a school cafeteria One cruise and done with NCL! Lately we do penthouse suites on Princess We like the food most nights in the mdr and the service is excellent We also like the specialty dining We are trying Celebrity for the first time and think they are more 3xo3nsive for a lower end suite than Princess I agree that Oceania is a good choice but think it is also more expensive I am not aware of how Amex pts work so can't comment on that Just want to add that the penthouse suite on Princess has its own whirlpool tub in the bathroom
  16. Hi We do mid ship penthouse suites We are not aft view people 1 -No reservation necessary for club class Yes it is a separate section of mdr with separate manager and wait staff There is one extra dish each night It changes. We generally stick with one table,or at least one waiter when we find one we like 2-No real formal night requirements! Dh wears a Mexican wedding shirt and slacks Collared shirt and long pants not shorts will work fine Some do get more dressed but it is not necessary 3-We don't bother using the medallion to order,things around the ship but many do 7-Yes you can book the specialty first night UT dinner in advance on the app We prefer to book ahead of time The app,sometimes looks like it is charging your credit cardmbutmit actually doesn't charge you 8-You get a bottle,of water each day outside of the mini bar You can exchange things in the mini bar but only for what they have in minis. I mean not all alcohol comes in inis You only get one full mini bar Since you have the full pkg you would just order from room service by phone or using the app 9- There is a card describing the apps You can choose from the list
  17. We also use the geo blue trekker insurance for medical coverage in a yearly plan It DOES include evacuation It is very reasonably priced! Our credit card covers normal trip insurance so we don't buy an extra policy for that
  18. 4 year old n eeds a car seat which uber doesn't provide We've never had trouble using the shuttle
  19. Waay before check in you need to goto the delta web site to find your reservation Make sure you have seats and that they have your info to text or email you
  20. Nope. We like coming to dinner when we please We still get the same table or at least the same wait staff who get to know us
  21. I'd first message my Rome hotel to see what service they could arrange If the price seems too n high I'd go on the Roll call of your cruise v to see if someone would share with you Ive been in Rome several times on my own and have used hotel car services or Romecabs.com services without ever thinking of the cruise line as my go to transfer
  22. I thought cruise transfers were from an airport to a port
  23. Just as a matter of principle,I would never book 2 different activities so close together! You have no idea if your first activity will actually end at that exact time
  24. You could also price it on line to see what it might cost without actually actually changing anything If the price looks good that way just make the change
