A really interesting and informative live report. Thanks so much for taking the time to do this. We are joining the Adventure on 27th October for a fortnight so this has been really useful. First flight since covid and first time back on Royal for a few years too. Also just few days short of Diamond so we pass that milestone this time, but need to wait until our Celebrity cruise next Feb to benefit!

Yes, we came across the yacht site when we looked earlier in the year! https://www.princesscruises.fr/ does exist now. I'm sure it didn't until recently. Though we usually book with the UK website as the prices tend to be better

You're right. There's a princess.fr now too. I've not been able to find that for the last 2 years. Wonder if it was suspended during covid? Whatever the reason, it does have prices in €, though I suspect they may be higher than the comparable £ or $ prices at a quick unscientific scan

As far as I am aware, no you can't get prices in Euros. We live in France and the default page that comes up is Princess.com with prices in US dollars. If we use the VPN we can get the uk site with prices in pounds. We sometimes get a message without the VPN telling us cruise purchases aren't supported in our region or some such. Other cruise lines have prices in euros certainly.

Yes that's correct. You are now asked to self test and make a declaration at check in that you have carried out a test within the last three days and that it was negative. No need to provide any proof for Princess. We had a similar problem trying to get tested, especially as France didn't ever develop the Covid testing industry that the UK did. Happily we now don't have to worry and can simply check with one of the free tests we still have.

Yep.
