I was looking about and found it is cheaper to book a basic cruise the gift myself a PRINCESS PLUS package then book with a plus package. Have I mississed something?

I am more interested in free laundry  and mini-bar setup on a 14 day Med cruise.

Does Princess honour your caption circle status if you book through a UK travel agent or Princess UK website on a med cruise? We are Canadian and have always used a local agent or Princess US website.

I have only seen it on starboard(right) side in many departures 

Yes indeed, I am curious to as is our elite status recognized if NOT booking in UK

What..no one knows?

Have any of you UK cruisers booked with a USA or Canadian travel agent and kept your status ..Elite, gold etc?

Noticed in a Utube video by travel agents on board a small pool with steps. Looks like might be in spa area. Better then nothing I guess.

Got mine Sept 26th here in Ontario, Canada

A further update (repost)

As noted in multiple posts throughout various cruise forums and such, there's an issue with one engine/propeller that is reducing it's top speed. So, they have to slow the other engine to account for it, not cause vibration oe sail in circles. They can max out at around 17-18 rather than 20-22... And that can affect travel times between ports..

From Princess on earlier post:

"Hello, Sherry. We understand your concern and can assure you that our operation of Caribbean Princess in no way compromises the safety of our guests or crew. The motor issue happened after the ship left its recent dry dock, and the repair requires the ship to be taken out of service. We are working to determine the next possible time for Caribbean Princess to be taken out of service to complete the repair."

Vancouver to Montreal to FLL (then rental or cab) should be lots of flights

Anyone know if there is any way for British residents to book on Princess using a North American ta and still have their status (elite) recognized on board?

Sorry, there was an error retrieving the Casino Credits shopping list. Please try again later.

Anyone remember the brand of tvs on the Royal? Search seem to come up dry. Thanks

I have a feeling most people posting have NO idea how discrete the testing and shots really are. Testing is done in my lap with a fresh cotton swap applied for any left over blood drop. You would really have to try hard to see what I am doing. The insulin pen is maybe 5 inches and the fresh screw-on needle is maybe 8mm. The injection takes 8-10 secs and again is done near waist level near table cloth. Anyone noticing what I am doing and looking that close is invading my privacy. I don't complain when they dribble down their chin, a much more noticeable activity. Anyone who watches me or anyone else that close has a problem not me. I usually cruise with the same 6 to 10 people and no one misses a beat. I do carry "insta" glucose for un-expected emergencies but even that takes a bit to work. Happy cruising.

I'm also a type ii and use nova rapid at each meal. I carry my "kit" to each meal and do a finger prick test and use a pen injector to administer my insulin. I do not ask or tell anyone just do it. I've had the waiters standing beside me and no one says anything. I lift the bottom of my shirt and inject. My disposables go back into kit for proper disposal later. Zero (0) problems and no comments in over 25 cruises. As and aside last year we ordered our meal and I did my insulin only to go "low" as waiters took over 40 minutes to deliver dinner. Needless to say off came my tips (1st time ever).

easy to use. thanks

Anyone care to point the way to easily determine room capacity in various rooms on Royal. Thanks

Have any of you north American cruisers been able to book on P&O without paying the airfare? We want to travel from Toronto to Barbados and cruise from there but they want to include roundtrip airfare from the UK in the price.

We are doing 1week on the regal then following week on a different ship. Both in port (FLL) the same day. Does Princess take care of luggage transfer and shuttle us over to new ship?
