This I am the most excited for is the closet, so open and accessible. Tired of little cabin doors to side, you can never see what's in there. Today excursions opened up to book. Are these refundable?, I would guess yes. I wish they had tours for the RMS Britannia, I guess we will venture on own for most of these ports. We are very good at rail lines, busses and HoHo busses. Does Princess have shuttles into Edinburg? With it being 45 mins away, I think I would have buy the excursion to be on my own. Will they let me know about hotel & airfare, like you can book. Or do I wait for the 330 days?

My brother in law and sister sail Princess usually, they are Elite. We both have stock in Carnival. My BIL keeps asking tell me the difference. We have stayed on X and are Elite. I know I don't really want to do Carnival if I have to. I do think it's on par with Holland America which we have sailed 3 times. Enjoyed things on HA, but when you won't provide the larger water because it's not on my drink package, but I can buy alcohol up to $18? I tell him the like the atmosphere and the crew. The food, the drink packages, HIA, and getting to know a crew members so well you are ready to take them home (Daniel & Alexandra X)! When booking my cabin 407 on the Regal. I could have picked another balcony, higher, in between floor, but they are so small and that a true difference. On S class we like the wedge cabins. I am looking forward to this new brand up to 7 next year! Next month back to X on the Edge. We don't think we will like the IV cabins, so a first sunset veranda! The price is $2798 less than our X cruise in 2018 for 14 days.

Will do! How was your cabin? Took a while to figure the color coded Thank you so much!!! Especially the EZ tips.The cruise terminal does not show 2025 yet. Will keep an eye on that. The airfares been trying to see booking on miles, and I've done a few looks on the EZ tab, that scared me yikes. For the hotel will look and find one that is refundable, maybe book to have something for now and see what Princess also has. Reprice along the way.

This is great, thank you. Adding this to my notes as well. I will continue to check the schedule. The boat show was two weeks after our cruise return, but we saw so many boats were already on barges stacked all over the place. Our cruise this time will be 2 months prior. As the transfer I will also keep NE on the list, as an option. Can anyone comment on the shows. I usually won't go as I find them way too loud, even with earplugs. I would be will to try with my fancy dancy reserved seating....

Thank you so much, very helpful! I'd rather do a private car than a bus for the start. After a long flight and all the bizness of travel it was nice just to have the quite time to enjoy the view. I will look at BlackBerry Cars. The lists you made for dining are great, I've been looking both here and on the website, but I am still getting my sea legs on this ship. I have a good feeling I will not want them doing the air, it was hard enough to hand the booking over to a TA, I will also look at the hotel part. We were fine rolling our bags over from the Holiday inn, the very bumpy parking lot over to the terminal. We were lucky not to have gone that far. Now, as few years later I'd be ok being dropped off. Hubby liked it, me not so much. Keep those tips coming!

Thank you for the terminal info, did not know that. The TA has me waitlisted for a hotel, I can see some hotels but maybe just too soon for July 2025. We can always do the ship transfer as I had not even looked into Smith's yet, since I just booked today. They were nice, I guess while they lasted. Hoping the room is nice, still looking for those. I did see some videos.

We are taking our first Princess cruise next year. They were the only ones really going to Scotland. X has 2 ports in Scotland which is not enough. We have already done the 14 Day Ireland~Iceland on Silly. Princess has 4 that we wanted to go to. We found a balcony with the bump out, as the other balconies look so small. Going to do the Premier package as that seems like what we are use to. I hope it's a nice cruise, but we have no perks like X and I don't think we venture away from X. Would have been nice if X had more to offer as next month we will be on the Edge (my 50th cruise)and could do a future cruise.

Hello, We are new to Princess, but not to cruising. I will be on my 50th cruise next month on X Edge. We've sailed 6 cruise brands some are Carnival, Holland America all the way up to Paul Gauguin. This will be our first Princess cruise, and I have a few questions. I was able to research many topics and post..Thanks everyone! We are Carnival Stockholders, so I am loyal to the brand. The cruise ~12 day British Isles, the cabin booking today E407 on Regal Princess. This will be nice as we are going to 6 new places! I've wanted to go to Scotland for sometime now. I've looked at so many cruise brands trying to focus on Scotland. We have already sailed a 14 day Ireland & Iceland out of Southampton. Questions: We usually sail with an all included packages, so I've looked at the Plus and the Premier. I think I will do Premier. We have booked this thru a place that's great when needed a tow, or getting your keys from the car....MY DH works for the same company. It would be nice to save the 15% off the entire cruise that would include either package. How is the water, juice counted? Towards the 15 total? I've done the math as best I could except the internet (used $24.99 per day, as I did not have the princess decoder ring showing anything else). Seems more inclusive adding much more than other cruise brands. Drinks, dining, and the unlimited room service. Airfare/Hotel- I am pretty good on this part, but I'd love to know if the airfare with Princess (the TA says they are) is good (price vs connections). I think I can find nice flights on miles. I've been looking at the cruise this year for the same itinerary. The flights were very high. My sister sails with Princess and she says I can change my flight 45 days before..Stayed at the Holiday Inn next to the cruise port last time. Used Smith's for the LHR transfer. Both were great. That same hotel now is almost triple in price no thanks to the pandemic I am sure. How are upgrades? We usually select cabins higher with decks on both sides, but trying to leave room for business class for flights. Seen a few pictures and this seems like an okay place to stay. I know to stay away from Crooners! I see they have a bid up as well, sounds possible or stay put. Price adjustments. Found many a discounts posted on the CC boards, and continuous checking on my on with mock booking. Can you just call and re-price? Thanks in advance 🙂

I saved $28.80! $10.99 down to the $8.99. You think it would go down more than that?? Love these sales! Captain Club rep says if it goes down further, just to call back for the adjustment. 30 days to go! Still can't apply the Elite 15% off discount, but he assured me that he would get the best price.

Thanks for this post 😀, I was able to get down another $28.80. Called Captains Club and they adjusted to the $8.99 PDPP, since I had paid already with OBC they just refunded it back and repurchased. Easy to that upgrade package math...one cocktail should do it!

We were told on our NZ cruise that they had pine trees come to NZ from the US to help with populating more trees, as the native trees were not enough. The pine trees took over crowding out most native trees. Now they have way too many and are happy to get rid of them. Enjoying your review, wonderful job! Cheers 🙂

You can't add any Elite 15% discount off the current promotion. I just checked out while on the phone with Captains Club rep. If I added my my discount is would be $10 more per person. I doubt it would go any lower. So that's all set.

In the past when calling to get the Elite discount, you have to give a credit card, if I use the app or online I can use my OBC, so is worth the 20+ dollar discount, I'd rather not pay for it. Unless that has changed since last year? How can they add extra to the gratuities? BUY ONE, GET ONE 50% OFF (PRICE REFLECTS DISCOUNT) (25% OFF) $90.00$65.94 $90.00$65.94 My screen right now. Subtotal$131.88 Gratuities$26.28 Total due$158.16 Total savings$48.12

Today they are showing a sale for an upgrade from classic to premium. Yesterday it was just 5% for a total of 201.36 with a saving $12.12. Today is 25% off with buy one, get one 50% off (price reflects discount of $48.12. Total today is $158.16. I was planning on calling for the Elite discount next month. Can I call today and add the Elite pre cruise discount of 15% off to today's promo? No Elite in red savings. We hope to try some new cocktails on the Edge Alaska cruise in May.

Just checked in 15 minutes ago for our Alaska cruise on the Edge. I took my photo of me and added my hubby's picture from a photo I had on my desktop. It worked and I got a 10-10:30 check in time, the earliest time available.
