My experience is this. I made a reservation on the old Sun during Covid or in the early days of Covid vax. Rez was for me, my daughter and grandson, $200 total deposit. Princess cancelled the sailing and sold the Sun. They placed the deposit as FCC on three accounts, $66.66 each. I was able to use my FCC, the other two could not. Somewhere I saw a message, those amounts would go to our State Unclaimed Property and I would apply for disposition through that process. Then about a month ago, I received a CHECK for the exact amount of two $66.66, with a note of a cancelled cruise in 2013. Huh? As far as I can tell, I didn't reserve any cruise in 2013 and I assume it's for this Sun Princess cancelled cruise. Anything like this close to your experience?

Gardenias is very good for fish and shrimp tacos. I go to Cabo often, and my two taco faves are Gardenias and Asi y Asado (need Uber ride). Gardenias is much more convenient for cruisers. I try to have both fish and shrimp tacos every day I'm there. I was at Gardenias last week and the price is higher than that (about 65-70 pesos per taco) but still a good deal. Prices are higher everywhere after Covid just like US. Wherever you get your tacos, the shrimp and fish are locally caught.

I am 80 years old, and I've seen NL once in my life from Seattle WA when I was a child. My father woke us up during the night to see. They must have been pretty turbulent to see all the way down to Seattle. He spent 10 years in northern Alaska, so probably saw them and he must have paid attention to the forecast.

Cattolica, thx much. I went to their website and missed that altogether.

We are flying into SNA. Does Uber have a dedicated pickup area or can they pick up at the terminal arrival area?And if it's a dedicated area is it obvious with the signage?

I don't read all the threads, just one's that I'm interested in learning about or contributing. But this has to be one of the best threads in a long time. Good questions and responses! Got some good info for helping my SIL on the Discovery in December.

My question is in line with the topic description: Questions about DMW, but not related to the hot topic of late. I have made reservations on the app at 6 pm, same DR, same time every night on the Discovery, Ketchikan DR, shared table. But I read that we may have to wait in line for those who sat at 5:00 to be done. I'm trying to minimize crowding for the sake of my SIL. Is this likely to happen?

It's interesting, when I try to complete a virtual booking, and i choose my stateroom type (balcony, mini, etc), the description details "complimentary room service." With the careat for charges for balcony dinner, pizza and beverages. And 'subject to change." I guess the folks with the bar certificates are saying, this covers us just fine.

I'll only answer what I do know. DMW is Dining My Way and SD is Specialty Dining, such as Sabatini's or Crown Grill.

I would like this sign: I paid Standard Fare, can I borrow a drink from someone?

Once I find her on FB, is it obvious how to get to the webinar? I don't navigate FB very well. Rookie, not a power user! And I'm not an agent, is it accessible to everyone? Love this thread, BTW.

Good to know. Nope, haven't been on the Discovery. You're singing my song. I do specialty coffees, juices and cookies. We will embark on the little 4-day cruise right after you disembark. Thanks for the tips.

Yes, it's been a little while since the last cruise! I understand the ships don't have to rely on the winds any longer. Haha! Hasn't been that long! But thank you for the answer.

I am able to get all the food my body can consume onto my tray in the buffet. But carrying it to the table may not be very pretty due to serious balance issues. Is there staff available and willing to carry my tray to my table? Or are they only looking to fulfill drink orders? Discovery Princess.

DD is totally into her Atkins Protein Shakes. Can she carry on a few of them or is that prohibited? I don't see it listed on the prohibited listing. Or is it on any menus in any venue? Discovery Princess out of LA. TIA

I was lurking on this topic. Great thread and great information, folks. This is the way topics are supposed to be! All positive information, not a negative comment anywhere. Now I'm motivated to do some dancing on my next cruise in December. Woo-hoo!

I'm surprised some knowledgable people on this forum haven't answered you yet, so I'll just throw our my opinion with limited experience. I very much doubt you have to disembark that early, but my GUESS is by about 9;00. I'm guessing, not that experienced. I don't see Glacier Bay on your itinerary, just Endicott Arm on Wednesday. Even though it's close, I doubt they just swing by GB. Again, hopefully more knowledgable people will respond to you.

So, while we're on the subject of utilizing our OBC...my OBC is non-rrefundable, military and the Princess offer promotion. I have Standard fare, neither Plus nor Premium. And I'm Platinum. My Crew Incentive will use lots of the OBC. I will purchase the 4-Device Wifi for the three of us in our cabin. My understanding is my gross cost is $40 per day, and half ($20 daily) will be posted as OBC in my account. So I need to add this rebate as an OBC source also. Am I correct on all this? And I should purchase the Wifi on board, cuz only excursions can be pre-purchased using OBC.

It looks very assured that my voyage is not one offered for the added benefit. Yes I received the email and looked it up from the link in the email. I'm not concerned, it's a short cruise so it's a matter of $50 or $100 military bene, that's all. Thanks for your help, everyone.

I'm doing what you suggest, but I can't find any promo code. Obviously, i'm not looking in the correct area. I am looking up my voyage for a virtual booking, and also I have looked in my printed booking confirmation, with no luck. Enlighten me please.

I know we can carry on a limited number of soda cans, and a bottle of wine. My SIL drinks Budweiser Zero Beer...any chance we can carry that on board? Also, anyone know if they offer that on the ship? And how much do you suspect it costs. Discovery Princess if it matters. We won't do Plus nor Premier, it doesn't make sense for us. Thanks in advance. Bill

I don't think anyone has mentioned this. If you decide to go up the Space Needle, and have time...they sell a combo ticket to the Space Needle and visit to Chihuly Glass Museum. They are next to each other. Took my wife there on her birthday, very enjoyable and amazing. The SN ticket is timed.

Zero package is too expensive. I'll pay a la carte in the IC for my 1 or 2 cups daily. Interesting old fact. Years ago I would bring my French Press on each cruise with pre-ground beans and use the milk in the buffet. Can't believe I did that!!! Now that's a coffee addict!

Which MDR serves lunch on Embarkation Day on the Emerald? I understand if I ask crew, I"m likely to hear: none, you must go to the buffet, which is not true. I realize that it might change, my sailing is not until June. TIA.

We go to Cabo often on a land vacation, and go to Solomon's Landing at the marina, a sizable but pleasant walk from the tender pier. We enjoy it there.
