Thank you.

Thank you. Then around 9:30 a.m., we will see if we can get an Uber ride. If not, then find the taxi area and get a taxi. Any idea how much is the taxi cost in AUD from Kingsford airport to Circular Quay? And about how long is the ride? TIA.

Next month, our flight will arrive on a Monday morning around 7 a.m. So probably around 8 a.m. or so will be done with Customs. We want to take a taxi to our hotel in Circular Quay. Since we will not be able to check-in to the hotel that early, we can leave the airport at a later time to avoid morning heavy traffic when people are going to work/school. Sydney morning heavy traffic usually ends around what time? Thank you.

I also only had the problem with my Diamond cruise (Sept 2023 Japan cruise). I wonder if the problem is only with the Diamond excursions? Did you contact your TA and have your problem solved?

Thank you so much for your information!!

We booked a 7 days and a 9 days cruise for this Sept. For the last 9 years, we have only cruised on the Royal class ship. Looking at the deck plan of Diamond, I noticed there is no International Cafe. So where on the ship do you buy the specialty coffee? And any place you can get sandwiches and snacks 24-hours (besides Room Service)? Also, I see on the Sun deck, there is an area named Japanese Bath. Is there a fee to use that area? Thank you.

It does show I have OBC, just not allowing me to use it when I clicked "Pay Now" for my excursions.

Just tried, now I can get to the excursions. Same thing as yesterday, when I chose "Pay Now", it came back with options "Credit card" or "Pay pal", and not deducting it from available OBC (like the way it used to be in the past when I booked excursions for my other cruises).

Just went to my booking and tried to book excursions for my Sept cruise on Diamond. After my booking showed up, went to top of screen and chose "excursions", then the screen turned totally dark. Tried it on Chrome and Edge.

Last week I used my OBC to pay for excursions for my upcoming April cruise on Majestic Princess, no problem at all. I used my OBC for pre-cruise purchase of excursions many times in the past with no problem. Today, I want to book excursions for my Sept. 2023 cruise on the Diamond Princess. I have more than enough OBC and can see the OBC in my account for that cruise. When I clicked "pay now", instead of asking me if I want to pay with my OBC, it only gave me the choice to pay with "credit card" or "Pay-pal". It no longer gives the option to pay with OBC. I wonder if this is another new change of Princess?

So it is similar to outside insurance, which covers travel delay, trip interruption, baggage delay, baggage lost, etc.?

So only covered if book EZair. Then if not through EZair, then need to buy separate insurance for the air.

Does Princess Protection plan cover air? Thank you.

Quite a few people had the same problem. Here is the link to the discussions on this problem. https://boards.cruisecritic.com/topic/2917318-anyone-having-problem-viewing-saved-cruises/#comment-64887815

Thank you for the information. Last time we stayed at the Daiwa Roynet Hotel Yokohama-Koen, very close to Chinatown. From that hotel, we walked to the Osanbashi pier in less than 15 minutes. So it is probably okay to stay in the same hotel or nearby hotel and just take the taxi to the Daikoku pier.

Back in 2018, we did a Transpacific cruise on Golden Princess, and we embarked at the Osanbashi pier. I just assumed that is the pier for all Princess ships. I booked a Sept. cruise on the Diamond Princess, and just noticed my Travel Summary indicates Daikoku Pier. Are the 2 piers very close to each other? Last time we stayed at the Daiwa Roynet Hotel Yokohama-Koen. From the Haneda airport, we took the airport bus. From the bus drop off point, it took only 15 minutes to walk to the hotel; also walked to the Osanbashi pier in less than 15 minutes. We plan to stay at that hotel again; but now knowing we will board at Daikoku pier, we might need to find another hotel if it is not within walking distance to the Daikoku pier. Any suggestions for hotel within 15 minutes walking distance to the Daikoku pier? We need to stay for 6 nights.

I am still not able to view my Saved cruises. Those of you who had the same problem, are you able to view your Saved cruises now? Started a few hours ago, I can't even log in to my Princess account. It is stuck in "processing" to log in.

Thank you.

Totally agree!! Hopefully the problem will be fixed soon.

I thought of the same thing, so this morning I deleted it all and saved all again. Then log out and log back in and went to "Saved" to check pricing and details. And still received that error message.

Sorry I didn't load the picture in the proper position.

For a few days now, after I log in to my Princess account and go to view my "Saved" cruises, my saved cruises showed up, but when I clicked on "View pricing and details", I get an error screen (see below). I can only view pricing and details if I do a new search on the cruises that I am interested in. I have 8+ cruises that I check on a daily basis, and not being able to use the Saved and must do a new search on each of the cruises is really a big hassle and time consuming. I tried it on Chrome, Edge, and my Apple phone, all had the same error message. Thank you in advance for any inputs.

So we get the Declare form from Guest Service on the Princess ship? And then fill it out on the ship and bring with us to show the officer on the way out from our ship for our excursion? Even if I am only bringing 1-2 small packaged cookies on shore that I bought in a prior NZ port?

Thank you. Yes, I plan to buy it at my first NZ port so I can bring them for snacks for the next 2 NZ ports that I booked a full day excursion.

Thank you.
