  1. Looking for advice re Internet packages for Aus cruises this season please. For anyone who is traveling now or has done so this season what is available for Internet usuage once onbord?

    i see the unlimited packages available for pre purchase but wonder what is available once onboard. The unlimited packages are extremely pricey so just thinking there may be smaller ones once onboard. 

    Also what is the service like? Fast or slow & does it drop out at all?

    any information greatly appreciated. 

  2. We returned to P&O after many years with Princess & Celebrity for a short Pacific Eden cruise in March last year & 'probably' won't again!

    I too will be interested in your review as we have enjoyed past cruises on the old Dawn Princess.

  3. So sad to read this thread. Based on all the US hate I see here we won't be cruising Australia next winter (your summer) as planned. I don't want to go somewhere I'm not welcomed.

     

     

    I don't really see US hate on here!! We've never been to US but do have an Alaska cruise booked for April '18. I'm sure we will do some extra touring but at the same time we are interested in how things may change with visas!!

  4. Thanks for the replies!

     

    On b2b cruises are you issued with a cruise card for the first segment then another for the second or just the one card. Also noting the 23 days are in the same cabin.

  5. I may be mistaken, but I thought you got both cruise credits at the end of the cruise.

     

     

    I agree but at present it is showing in our history as 'future' so not in our total yet but there as 2 credits assigned to that cruise.

  6. We have one future cruise in our history showing as 2 cruise credits. We booked as it as a 23 day cruise but it can be booked separately. My question - is it possible we could be credited with internet minutes for each segment?

  7. We just came back from sailing on Equinox and I have to say that Celebrity was heavily promoting upgrades to Premium packages. I would not a bit surprised if they only will give classic pack as perk and expect people to pay for an upgrade.

     

     

    What was the price per day including taxes that they quoted for upgrading? Interesting to know if it's the same pre cruise.

  8. A friend of mine got an offer today for Sea Princess ex Brisbane 28 Dec. Same deal as above. Not so good when they say refund is OBC on the next cruise. She is travelling solo so there is no way she would use that cost as OBC given she paid a premium for solo use.

     

     

    The OBC is refundable after the next cruise. It doesn't need to be spent!

  9. Has the coffee recently changed on the Golden Princess? Is it just push button from the machine or still the same as on the Emerald Princess? Trying to decide whether to purchase more coffee cards or not!

  10.  

     

    Its so private that while sitting at vines I was wondering why passengers were coming out of the doors, it took 7 days to muster the courage to ask why. I thought they were doing a ships tour, but no, its sort of like a forgotten part of the ship.

     

     

     

    The only query I have is noise from the theatre above.

     

     

     

    I now recall sitting at Vines and thinking the same thing about passengers using the door there.... I guess it's the same on the other side near the IC where our cabin is located. Hopefully the Theatre won't be too much of a problem. No doubt we'll be there watching performances quite regularly.

     

    It will be nice to visit Vines again!!

  11. Extra exercise is good.

     

    Just thought it would be a factor for some people.:D

     

     

    Thanks again. I will spend some time checking deck plans. It will be our first time forward & I think being close to the IC will be a positive for our morning coffee!!

  12. Thankyou. I'm thinking the location will be good... especially near the IC but the Queen Bed only did seem odd. Now that I check again it says 171 so not smaller. Maybe the bed is one bed & not the two singles together.

  13. We have been assigned this cabin for a long cruise in '18. I note Plaza is popular with many cruisers but I'm hoping to find some specific info for this cabin. The notes say only Queen bed. Is the cabin smaller? Where is the bed in relation to the window? Anchor noise maybe?

     

    I have posted the same questions in the 'Princess' section but thought with the Golden in Australia there maybe some recent passengers with some info.
