Thank you for all the nice pictures. We will be on Majestic for 27 days (Syd-L.A.) on April 4. Starting to put together a packing list for the upcoming long cruise. Just want to know, in the bathroom, liquid hand soap or bar soap? Large bottle or lotion or mini size bottle? When we were on Discovery in November, we had liquid hand soap and a large bottle of lotion. Thank you.

Thank you!

Where this cruise started? How many ports/days before getting to Japan? Thank you.

Bay of Islands will be one of our ports on our upcoming April cruise. Have a few questions: 1. You mentioned there are free shuttles from the tender pier to Paihia, free shuttles also available from Paihia back to tender pier? 2. Did the ferry, restaurants, and shops take credit cards or you got some NZD? 3. How much time you spent in Russell? We are thinking of doing the same thing you did. Take ferry to Russell first, check out the town, then ferry back to Paihia, check out Paihia. Our port stop is from 9 a.m. - 6 p.m. Would like to be at tender pier by 4:30 p.m. at the latest. Will we have enough time to do both Russell and Paihia? 4. Did you happen to see any bank ATM by the pier? Thank you.

$36.58 for the package. Specialty coffee price range is between $3-$4 (depending on the size and choice).

That is too bad. I really hoping to continue with the Enchanted TA after my 20 days on her for the Caribbean (ending 4/6).

Thanks. Nice to know it is not for 2024. I booked Enchanted 20 days cruise from 3/17/24-4/6/24, and hoping 4/6/24 Enchanted will be doing the TA so I can book it as b2b to my 20 days. As of now, still not seeing Enchanted's schedule from 4/6/24 forward.

Enchanted scheduled for dry dock in April 2023 or April 2024?

Nice picture. Thank you.

What is a spout?

I sent my original email and replied to their questions using the same email address. I used the email given by several others on CC; askoceanmedallion@carnival.com.

What is the cost of using the Sanctuary? Must it be booked for the entire cruise or can be booked by the numbers of days that we want to use that area? Can we use OBC to pay for it? Thank you.

Did it take a month for them to correct your problem? A month ago, I sent an email regarding the problem that I am showing blue and my status should be black. Two days later I received a reply from them asking for lots of questions (app version, phone type, etc). I replied with the info. After waiting for another 2 weeks and no reply from them, 2 weeks ago, I emailed/replied them again asking for the status, and as of now, still no reply.

Thank you.

Is there a charge to print at Internet Cafe? How much per page? Thanks.

Okay, I just tried it again replying to the thread "World Cruise 2023...". When I clicked on "quote", it showed the long post and all the pictures. I replied. Then I checked my replied post, and it doesn't show the long post and all the pictures, it only showed a small portion and the word "expand". So, it only showed AFTER I replied. Thank you.

Very nice pictures. Thank you for sharing!

Thank you. I didn't know it is automatic. Yesterday I did a reply to a post on the thread "World Cruise 2023 -Occasionally...", and it included the long post and all the pictures in that post. So, I had to "cut" all the pictures and part of the post before I reply. Then I noticed, a lot of other replies only had a small part of the post and no pictures but had the "expand".

Sorry, this post if off the topic. I noticed your post showed only "part" of the post that you are replying to, then I saw "expand", and when I clicked on "expand", I saw the entire post that you replied to. Can you kindly show me how to do that? A lot of times when I responded to a certain post, I only want part of that long post to show, but I can't figure out how to do it your way. TIA.

So true!🤣

Thank you. On the average, we spent and will continue to spend $15,00-$20,000+/yr on Princess cruises, so 10% off is really a big saving. That is why I am debating if we should buy $20,000 ($5,000 a month for 4 months) while that offer is still around.

Thank you for the suggestions. We are not interested in snorkeling or boat trip, but are interested in sightseeing. My original plan was to book the private tour on the 2nd day, and do Moorea on the 1st day. I did use Viator, but the East Coast tour we are interested in was sold out on the 2nd day (I waited too long to decide on that tour and when I was ready to book, it was sold out), so we booked the 1st day. I did see some Moorea tours that we are interested in, but since the tour meeting point is on the Moorea side, and I am not certain if for sure we will be able to take the ferry and meet the tour at the destinated time, so I didn't want to pre-book the Moorea tour. Which was the reason I asked if there are tour vendors by the Moorea ferry pier so we can join after we get to the Moorea side.

Option to buy AARP Princess gift cards at 10% off (limit 5) has been around for years or only since the Pandemic when Princess business not doing well? Wonder how long this discount will be around? Debating if should stock up on those gift cards before the promotion goes away? We only cruise with Princess, and on the average, probably only spend about $15,000-$20,000/yr.

Thank you for the information! Princess offers an entire land tour of 4 hours for only $89, and since we are Elite, will get 10% off, and we can pay with gift cards (purchased at 10% off), so the net price for us is $72pp. But we don't want to be on the big bus with so many people; we also not interested to see the Fern Cave, so we decided to book a private 4 hours tour doing only the island's East Coast. Tour is maximum of 4 passengers per tour. The private tour is $74pp.
