Thank you for the link. I've heard good things about this company. 

We are on the 2/25 sailing, but thanks so much for the offer to meet us. That was kind of you.

Enjoy your cruise! 🙂

 

We are on 2/25 sailing and may be using this company too.  Not sure yet on which excursion.

The cruises aren’t cancelled. They are just full and not able to book. Same thing on the Celebrity with my cruise. 

Hope you are right, but it’s a lot of ships that are full and all Canada cruises.

What ship?

Caribbean Princess

There’s something strange going on with these cruises.  All of these cruises are listed as unavailable after August 15th.  We are scheduled on the August 30th cruise.  Anyone have information about this?

We will be on Princess and need to tender.  We are meeting friends that live there and they wanted to know what pier we’d be at.  Would anyone know what pier is used?  Is there more than one?

Anyone else having trouble getting into the excursions from their own Princess booking?  I can’t book an excursion, I keep getting an error message and the excursions won’t open.

Do you have to get another negative covid test before getting on the 2nd ship?  Would be hard to do if you get off and on the morning.

Has anyone received a final payment notice after they booked a free casino offer?  I booked a 10 day New England cruise leaving August 31st and paid all the required charges back in August.  Today I received a notice for final payment of almost $3,000!  Been trying to get ahold of them, but cannot get thru yet.  One of the phone numbers i received is not their number anymore!  Does anyone know if this is normal procedure?

We took a cruise in December from Florida and the check in times did not matter.  Our shuttle driver also told us that.

Now you all got me worried.  We are going to be in 4095 in June.  Is that close to the Covid quarantine rooms?  Also, will there be only certain elevators we can use?

We are on Koningsdam out of Vancouver the end of June and doing this excursion and booked an evening whale watch afterwards with Holland.

Thanks for all the answers.  Our Alaska cruise is round trip Vancouver.  Another cruise in August/September from New York to Quebec. The cruise in November is to southern Caribbean is round trip Florida on Holland.

I’m okay with my Alaska cruise.  I am considering a southern Caribbean cruse in November.  Before that cruise I will be in Canada and need my passport so I can’t renew it after Alaska cruise.

My passport would expire 7 days short of the 6 month suggested expiration date.  I need to use it quite a bit and the timing does not work to renew without the added expedited expense.  How firm are the cruise lines with the 6 month rule?  Do you think I’d be okay being just7 days sort?

I am so glad you asked this question and thanks to everyone for your answers. I have been wondering the same thing as we too have Tracy Arm booked on June 27.  There were some good reviews for Juneau Whale Watch.  We were thinking of booking a 4:30 tour or booking the HAL evening dinner whale watch.

We did a similar cruise with Holland several years ago and this tour was included.  It was only for HAL.  We did not have to book it.  Our itinerary listed the time to meet at the dock.

Well I guess this is the new Club 21 offer. See PDF, It's a 7 day Holiday cruise on the New Standendam. Special rates, $100 casino cash all sorts of entries into prize drawings. Might be appealing if you live in FL.

I got the same offer, but no $100 casino money.  You have to pay $100 per person at time of booking and the casino will give it back when you sail!  If you cancel the cruise p, you loose it.

Thank you so much!

From what I read the old count down clock is embedded in my signature.  I can’t figure out how to delete it?

Anyone else see Carnival leaving Tampa last evening?  I couldn’t see the name of which ship it was.  I seen it going under the Skyway Bridge.  Curious where it was going.

Thanks, we are on the 4 night leaving Feb 3rd, so I’ll assume it will be the same, day 2

what night is formal night

Looking for information about day pass at Melia.  There are 7 ships in port the day we are there.  Hoping to escape the crowds a bit. How was the food and other info would be appreciated.  (I couldn’t figure out how to search on this site, so started a new topic)

There are 6 of us.  Should each of us choose My Time Dining for a particular time?  How do we indicate we want to sit together?

Are any of these hotels reasonable for the parking?  Homewood Suites was pretty pricey.
