John Padgett announces 2026 Sky Princess solar eclipse cruise.
phabric replied to teecee60's topic in Princess Cruises
What did Princess do to make it an amazing cruise beside what they normally do on a cruise? I have taken 30 cruises with Princess. It is the weather -heat/humid in August in Europe , I am thinking about. -

Carmen Roig, VP Princess posted this on Facebook. On sale May 23, 2024. 14 day Spain, France, and Portugal with a not to be missed Total Solar Eclipse departing Aug 8, 2026 on the Sky Princess. I know you can’t predict what the weather will be. I was told, Europe is very hot and humid in the summer months. I have been on Mediterranean cruises in November, Britain in August and Norwegian Fjords in September with comfortable weather. What are your opinions of cruising in August to Europe? -

The daily dining menu (breakfast and dinner) will show once on the ship on the app. It is not also correct. -

Alfredo’s is walk in. Sometimes there is a line waiting. -
I was in PR711 on the Island. Remember to say PR then your number as P is for Plaza deck. When we said “PR711”, people would say like the store 711. The door and walls are metal. A very quiet area as there are not many cabins. The back elevator was around the corner of the hallway. There is a specialty restaurant near there, the bar is only open when the restaurant is open.

I have done that to get a seat, I bring a book to read to wait. When the game show finishes I move to a better seats. I have found, we go to the 7:30 show in the theater at one end of the ship, the game show is at 8:30 at the other end ship and by the time you get through the crowds, there are no seats available. Some of the events timing is off.

Depending where you are cruising from, you can visit a grocery store before getting on the ship.

I purchase the Classic Soda package. I don’t drink enough for per day cost but take it for the convenience of able to get a soda, juice, mocktails anywhere on the ship when I want one instead of going back to my cabin for a soda from my Elite mini bar.

I get cranberry juice from the bar under the Classic Soda package. Soda is in cans, now.

I took the train up and bus back with the private tour company so needed my passport. We just held the passport up in the air and the Canadian Custom/Immigration agent walked down the aisle. He just looked to might sure everyone had a passport. As he passed me, he said “Welcome home” as I am Canadian. If I remember when it was the roundtrip train ride, when we got to the end on the one way, we flipped the seats over to face the other way and were asked to switched to the other side. The train used the same track.

Yes, if you have his Captain Circle number you can purchase a FCD for him on your credit card on file. I have done this a few times. I visit the Future Cruise desk to do this, to tell them I am taking FCD for others not on the ship. Before you sail, sign him up for Refer A Friend and he will get his Captain Circle Number and you each will receive $25 OBC.

I had a refund for a refundable OBC on my last cruise. My cabin mate received her cheque. I called 3x and was told it was mailed. On call #4, this agent asked for my address, it turns out Princess had not put my unit number even through it is on my profile. I finally received my cheque. I would call Princess.

Princess has changed Lahaina to Kahului from 8am-7pm Oct 5. What is there to see in Kahului that is not a beach tour?

Vancouver Airport to Pan Pacific Hotel via SkyTrain?
phabric replied to Jcol5786's topic in West Coast Departures
The 3 of us (3 luggage and 3 carryons) took a taxi from airport to Pan Pacific in 2022. There is a taxi rate chart at the taxi line. I think it was around $30. -
I would like to see a garbage can near the elevators.

The other ports were switched around. I had an excursion booked for Lahaina (Maui) and it was refunded, New excursions will be posted within the next few weeks for Kahului. The other ports excursions were carried over to the switched ports dates.
