I have prepaid WiFi,  gratuities and water package on my cruises starting in August  .  I now think purchasing  the Plus package would work better for us.  Can I cancel the above purchases  and get my money refunded?

Thanks for your quick replies.  The breakfast sounds like a good option.

We are arriving in London on August 8, 2004 and are spending 5 nights in London seeing the sights before our cruise on August 13   I'm wondering if I should purchase the breakfast package  with the hotel reservation.  I know that as an American our breakfasts are different than a British breakfast so I'm wondering if it would be a good option for us to purchase.  Also any help on deciding which hotel we should book.  (Premier Inn - Waterloo or Country Hall)  We plan on using the HO-HO bus on our day of arrival to get a good overview of the area and then choosing what we want to see and visit.  Thanks so much for your help!

We are 54 & 55. Glad you have enjoyed my posts!  We've seen age groups from 20's on up, but no kids at all.

 

All our excursions have followed the descriptions exactly so I'd recommend reading the activity levels if you aren't sure. Paris & Berlin didn't have a huge amount of walking, other than in Berlin at the train station. That was a zoo of people and you really had to keep up with the guide.

 

I'm happy to answer any other questions you may have later too.

Thanks for answering my question.  You both are much younger.  I was hoping you would say that you both were in your 80's and had  no problem during the tours.  We are reasonably fit  for our age and after reading your tour experience we will keep the reservations.    Thanks again!

My husband and I have booked this cruise next year.  We have booked the same excursions in Paris and Berlin that you were on.  It sounds like you had a great time.   At the time of the cruise we are going o be 70 and 75 and just wondered if you were alot younger than us.  I've really enjoyed reading all your posts. Thanks

I repriced my EZ air after final  payment  and was credited next day on the credit card I used .

Thanks everyone who replied  to my laundry  question.  I also use the laundromat  for clothes I don't  want to send out.  We have sent clothes out on six cruises and so far no problems.   I'm  really  enjoying following this land getting good info for our 2024 World cruise.

My husband and I are booked on the 2024 world cruise  and were wondering what the turnaround  time is on the  elite laundry.   Trying to plan on how many days of clothes  to bring.   Thanks

Got off of Celebrity Solstice on Oct 29 and only a few crew members wearing masks.  It was great being back on a cruise ship after 3 long years and several canceled cruises. 

Thanks so much Astro Flyer!

Thanks again everyone.  It is two 15 days cruises.  Astro Flyer did you buy the coffee package  before cruise or first day on board?

Thanks everyone for your answers.   In 2019 we cruised for 60 days 4 back 2 backs and are OBC carried over and coffee package was bought on the first cruise and worked for unlimited brewed coffee for all 60 days.  I know several things have changed on Princess, so was trying to get good information  on coffee package since restart,.  Our 2 cruises were booked as 2 separate cruises but they are linked.

On a back 2 back cruise can the coffee package   if purchased on the first cruise  be used  for both of the cruises? 

Thanks for the info.

I couldn't find a reasonable way to book business/first class all the way from Sydney to LAX so I used AA miles to book Hawaiian's lay-flat business seats from Sydney to Honolulu and United miles to book economy plus seats from Honolulu to LAX.

 

I will have more discussions about our experiences in the Sydney and Honolulu airports later.

 

 

Thanks for the information.  I'm finding your experiences very informative.

My parents just got off this cruise and flew from Sydney to LA, then to Seattle.  The Sydney/LA flight is LONG.  They highly recommend splurging on Business (or First) class if you can afford it.  It will make such a long flight much more comfortable.  Whichever you choose, make sure you get up and move regularly.  

Have fun on the cruise!   Try the ukulele classes.  It sounds like a lot of fun.  😃 

Thanks for your reply.  Will look into first class.

My husband and I are going to do this cruise in Sept 2019 on the Ruby.  How was the flight home?  Did you have any stops?  I'm really dreading the flight home to Sacramento. 

Thank you for your replies. My husband and I are passengers on that sailing. We are trying to get our friends to do a cruise with us in the future, so we thought the BVE would be a push in the right direction. It sounds like showing them around on our own will be much for fun. Thanks again.

I'm trying to decide if we want to do the organized tour with our friends or just see the ship and eat on our own. Can anyone tell me what you do and see on the organized ship tour?

Thanks
