Thank you all for the information and suggestions!

Perrier water is 8 or 12 or 16 oz? I am thinking of exchanging all 20 items for 20 bottles of Perrier water or San Pellegrino (preferred choice) water on my upcoming Discovery Princess cruise (in about 2 weeks). Thank you.

I have many RAT home test kit at home. Can we bring home test kit on a flight from the U.S. to Sydney and use it for testing to meet the cruise line requirements?

$130pp meal, still need to add sales taxes and gratuities? Thanks.

Then the price is very reasonable. Thanks.

Just checked the menu of the Mode Kitchen and bar (website below). Since you ate there often, just curious to know if the price showing on the menu is AUD or USD. For example, the first combo on the menu showing $130pp, is that AUD or USD? Thanks. https://modekitchenandbar.com.au/contemporary-dining-menu/dinner-2/

We don't drink. Maybe worth it to buy a drink just to see the "Gorgeous men".🤣

Thank you. Took your suggestion and just booked the Four Seasons Hotel harbour view room.

Thank you everyone for your information and suggestions!! ☺️ Based on information/suggestions received, I decided and just booked, the Four Seasons Hotel. Will definitely try the Mode Kitchen.

Thank you. Just placed my order.

Thank you.

Thank you for all your answers. You said "a lot of people don't have any cash", so if I go to a convenient store just to buy maybe 2 bottled water, I can still pay with credit card? Or go to market to buy a few fruits, also can pay with credit card? Someone in other thread suggested Four Seasons Hotel Sydney, do you know how far is the walk from the Four Seasons to OPT? From Rydges or Four Season walking to the OPT, is it an easy walk (for example, smooth roads OR rough roads with lots of uneven pavement)?

Thank you for your reply!! How long to walk from the Rydges... to the OPT? Is it an easy walk (smooth road)? Also, any convenient store (for water and snacks) and casual eating places (for lunch and dinner) by the Rydges...?

Thank you for your reply!! Is the Oversea Passenger Terminal within walking distance from the Four Seasons Hotel Sydney? If so, how long to walk and is it an easy walk (smooth road)? If not within walking distance, how long for a taxi ride? Also, any convenient store (for water and snacks) and casual eating places (for lunch and dinner) by the Four Seasons Hotel?

Thank you for the link. I noticed you live in Sydney, can you also help me with the following questions. Much appreciation!! Questions: 1. How far is the ride from the airport to the the Rydges Sydney Harbour hotel? 2. If take taxi, approximately how much is the ride? Can I pay the driver using credit card? 3. Is the Rydges... hotel within walking distance to the Oversea Passengers Terminal? If so, an easy short walk? 4. Are there convenient store (buy water and snacks) and casual eating places near Rydges...? 5. Can we use credit card for the taxi/eating/shopping (souvenirs)/market (buy water, snacks, etc.)? 6. Or it is wise to get some AUD at the airport ATM? Thanks in advance!!

I posted my questions on the Port of Call for 2 days and haven't received any response, so I am trying this thread. We are in our mid 60's, each will have a 28" luggage and a carry-on. Do not want to take train or bus. We will arrive on April 3 (Monday) around 7 a.m. from the U.S. on a 15-hour non-stop flight. Will embark on a Princess cruise on April 4. We mainly want to find a hotel that is: clean and safe, within walking distance (or short taxi ride) to the cruise terminal, convenient to casual eating places and will be nice, if also convenient to a market (for water and snacks). Questions: 1. Any suggestions for hotel that is within walking distance or short taxi ride to the OPT? I only saw ads on the Four Seasons Hotel Sydney and Swissotel Sydney. Any better ones? 2. Which is closer or within walking distance to the OPT? Four Seasons Hotel Sydney or Swissotel Sydney? 3. How far is the ride from the Kingsford Smith airport to the hotel near Overseas Passenger Terminal (OPT)? 4. If take taxi, approximately how much is the ride? Can I pay the driver using credit card? 5. Can we use credit card for the taxi/eating/shopping (souvenirs)/market (buy water, snacks, etc.)? 6. Or it is wise to get some AUD at the airport ATM? Thanks in advance for any assistance!!

Where can I buy that? Thanks.

Yesterday I sent an email to apply for the Stockholder OBC. In less than 10 minutes, I received an email, subject line: your booking confirmation. Opened the email and noticed the stockholder OBC already showing on the new booking confirmation. That is super fast!!

We will be coming in Apr 2023 for a cruise. We will arrive 1 day early just in case of flight delay. Looking for suggestions of where to stay and how to get from Kingsford Smith Int'l airport to hotel and then hotel to the Overseas Passenger Terminal (OPT). We are 2 females in our mid 60's, each will have a 28" luggage and a carry-on. Do not want to take train or bus. We will arrive on April 3 (Monday) around 7 a.m. from the U.S. on a 15-hour non-stop flight. We visited Sydney about 20 years ago on a 7-day escorted land tour, so already saw most of the sightseeing sites. For our 1 day pre-cruise, we mainly want to find a hotel that is: clean and safe, within walking distance (or short taxi ride) to the cruise terminal, convenient to casual eating places (for lunch and dinner) and will be nice, but not a must, if also convenient to some casual/market shopping. If we are not tired, then after check-in to the hotel, we will walk to nearby area for shopping. If too tired or jetlag, then just relax in the hotel and only go out when time to eat lunch and dinner. Questions: 1. On the average, how far is the ride from the airport to the hotel (near OPT)? 2. If take taxi, approximately how much is the ride? Can I pay the driver using credit card? 3. Suggestions for hotel that is within walking distance or short taxi ride to the OPT? 4. Can we use credit card for the taxi/eating/shopping (souvenirs)/market (buy water, snacks, etc.)? 5. Or it is wise to get some AUD at the airport ATM? Thanks in advance for any assistance!!

Will I need a prescription to buy CIPRO at PV Walmart? TIA.

I would like to know also. On Tuesday morning, I plan to call Princess to take advantage of the new $100pp OBC promotion for four of my 2023 b2b2b bookings. This promotion is for new bookings only, so probably need to cancel and rebook. I like the cabin I booked because it is the same for all three b2b2b cruises.

I would like to switch to another CVP also. Do I just call the Princess general line? My CVP doesn't reply to emails and always had to leave at least 2+ messages before he responded. I want to take advantage of the current $100pp OBC promotion for all four bookings that I have. I requested those changes more than a week ago; sent him 2 emails and left several voice messages, but he never replied or call me back or make those changes.

I am Elite and have always traded my mini-bar for a coffee package with 15 specialty coffee. I have a 5-day cruise coming up and this time I booked solo, so I will get 2 coffee packages for myself. I only drink one cup of coffee each day. With the coffee package, besides getting the specialty coffee, can I use it to get Pierre water also? For example, in the morning I get a specialty coffee, in the afternoon, I get a few Pierre water.
