Princess website, for my March 2025, Check In - Guest Check-In Status, all 3 persons are named.

I booked through an agent for 3. I have agent’s invoice and Princess booking confirmation that show 3 persons. I will send off email.

Today, I have uninstalled both old and new apps and reinstalled both by Apple Store. After reinstalling, opened new app with booking number - only shows 2 persons. After reinstalling, opened new app through old app - only shows 2 persons. After reinstalling, opened old app with Log In - only shows 2 persons. On my Personalizer - under Try Our Website Version- it shows 2 persons plus Order Medallions and dining reservations are for one of my other of my cruises. When I called Medallion, they could see my March 2025 booking was for 3 persons. I asked if there were going to be any updates for the new app soon, “ not right now”.

On the old app, my March 2025, showed 3 persons. Installed the new app. Now both old and new apps show for March 2025 only 2 person. Last Monday, called Medallion and was told would be corrected in 5-7 days to add the 3rd person. Still waiting.

I had the Plus and mini bar. Each night we would get a soda and a water to take back to the cabin, by the end of the cruise we had a few cans leftover, we left them for the cabin attention.

I was in L301 on the Sky November 2019, 14 day Mediterranean. We did not hear the party noise that you had. See my post #6.

I have done the British Isles cruise 2x in August. We tried watching the outdoors movie on the sea day, we were only able to sit for 10 minutes with jackets and a blanket as it was cold and windy. In May 2022, I sailed out Southampton for a Norwegian Fjords cruise. On the sea days, it was EXTREMELY COLD and WINDY, no one was sitting out. Passing the open outdoor automatic door at the buffet, you could feel the COLD air. I am from Canada, it felt worst than our winter weather. I would not spend money for the sanctuary chairs. If you want a sanctuary chair, go on a sea day, and see if any chairs available. British Isles cruise weather is not like a Caribbean cruise especially May weather.

Any time.

Free - Main dining room, if your ship has International Cafe, on Lido deck - pizza slice and hamburger/hot dog/chicken burger/fries and ice cream and buffet.

I have used Just Airports car service from LHR to my London hotel and from London hotel to LHR.

While on a ship excursion, a couple with a small baby brought a car seat. They were not able to use the car seat on the bus. The driver put the car seat in the stair well and at every stop, he had to remove the car seat each time so we could exit the bus.

It looks nice, I won’t might having it

I am from TO and use a TO agent. I have not had any email or calls from Princess wanting my business. I get emails from Princess about my future sailings. I do get emails from my agent about sales from different cruise lines.

I keep a few in my suitcase encase I need them to carry beach towels, book, lotion to the pool.

I was on the Island in Nov. One of the specialty restaurants Bayou Cafe and Steakhouse was used for the causal dining - one day the Salty Dog Pub and the other day Alfredo on a sea day. No reservations needed. Check the activity paper on the back under dining for the times and place. Coffee was at Good Spirits deck 5 and Explorers Lounge deck 6. Good Spirits had a trolley with breakfast items - muffins, doughnuts, croissant and later small sandwiches..

A one time set up. If you have - - 7 day - one time - 14 day - one time - B2B - one time for each cruise In Feb, I asked my cabin attendant who I call to swap the mini bar items. He said he could swapped my items. I told him which items to swap with what I wanted

Tattoo tickets usually come out around November.

I did the boat excursion 2x with Princess in 1) August 2) June. Princess excursion stops on the way to have Norwegian waffle and coffee. Highly recommend. I stayed on the top deck for the whole trip. FYI - wear warm clothes- jacket, sweater, hat, gloves, scarf, wind can be bad when moving.

I would book now for the car service. I think I gave £5 as a tip.

I stayed in L301 on the Sky. I loved the location. I would take this cabin anytime. The balcony is angled so bigger than a regular balcony, the cabin is the same size as regular balcony cabins. Balcony is covered. You are only a few steps to the elevator, Lido automatic door to hamburger, pizza, bar, lounge chairs, ice cream, pool/hot tubs, buffet. The first night, the door to the hallway was closed so we did hear people letting the door go and the door would slam. People hold the hallway or cabin doors so they don’t slam. After the first night, when we returned to our cabin at night, I would leave the hallway door open. We did not hear any noise after leaving the door open. We rarely heard any people going down the hallway. If people talk in any hallway, you would hear them whichever cabin you had. We did not hear noise from people walking to the Lido doors or above us. here are some pictures - #1 & 2 - looking left to Captain bridge (you can see balcony space of regular balcony) #3 - looking down #4 - balcony (taken from door)

While in the Explorer Lounge, we saw a couch with 2 empty spaces. We started to sit down, a woman said, “we are saving those seats for people in our group”. I said “you are not suppose to save seats, you should listen to the announcements”, she replied “ the bar attendant said it was ok”. A man in the group was ready to get up to face my husband. We sat there the whole time. When we left, the woman made a very rude comment.

People leave their used towels on the chairs and walk away so people think the chair is occupied. If people took their used towels with them, there would be loungers for others.

If going to a London hotel after your cruise, check out International Friends. They pick you up at your Southampton cruise line dock, stop at Salisbury, Stonehenge and Windsor then dropped off at the door of certain London hotel. www.internationalfriends.co.uk

I have stayed at Premier Inn Waterloo 5x. Premier Inn Waterloo’s entrance is street level. Hotel has A/C. The restaurant is in the basement. I take the breakfast meal so I don’t have to go and find a place to eat. The breakfast is buffet - eggs, sausage, bacon, tomato, mushrooms, beans, cereal, yogurt, bread, juice/ coffee/tea. We ate dinner out before returning to the hotel. If we were too tired, their restaurant was there. Premier Inn Country Hall’s entrance is up a couple of stairs. This hotel is closer to London Eye. There is a street/court yard/small plaza between the two Premier Inn. Both hotels close to restaurants, pubs, HOHO, Thamas river, London Eye, Parliament, Big Ben, Westminster Abbey, grocery store, stores, regular bus, Waterloo train station. I would take whichever is the cheapest.

I used a car service Just Airports from LHR to my London hotel - Park Plaza Westminster and Premier Inn Waterloo (a block behind Park Plaza Westminster). Put in your hotel’s postal code to get a quote. It is nice to be met after baggage area to be met and driven direct to your hotel after a long flight without dragging your luggage all over the place for transportation. On embarkment day, check out International Friends from certain London hotels to Southampton dock with a stop at Stonehenge. www.justairports.com www.internationalfriends.co.uk
