Karatemom2 is correct, we always order canned soda packages and that is exactly how it works. You will have certificates in your cabin  and need to call room service to tell them what kind of soda you want they will deliver it. 

Does anyone know the difference or if there is a difference between these two excursions other than the type of transportation? I see they are both 2hrs. But if anyone has any insight or preference for one over the other I would  appreciate the feedback

I would still love to hear from someone who has experienced this Dinner. I am wondering how the menu works? Do you choose one item from each category and then they come around with the meats to your table or do you order your meats?This sounds very yummy, but I am wondering if they are operating it as typical churrascaria land restaurants

Thank you so much. 

Can someone please post the menu from the “new” Churrascaria on board the Sapphire Princess. Also, would love to hear about your experience.

The bathrooms still aren't working? I was on the Sapphire on the cruise before this and gave up on the public bathrooms on day 2. That should have been a sign the ship wasn't in good shape. I'm so sorry for everyone on your cruise. 

We also were on the cruise before this one that disembarked on the 11th in Vancouver. The bathroom in our cabin started having trouble on day three of the cruise. Also, the public bathrooms were awful. Most of them with only one working toilet and always a line up. I did not know at that point of the ships power issues, I just thought it was poor maintenance. Frustrating none the less. 
My point is, how long did they know something was wrong before they made the announcement?

We have a different captain - Paolo Antonio Romano. Probably changed in Vancouver or San Pedro. Rough start for him. 

We got on in San Pedro on the 7th and disembarked in Vancouver yesterday the 11th.
Our captain was Captain Paolo Ravera. 

I was just curious as to what was going to happen as we just got off of the ship today. We were supposed to arrive in Port around 7 AM and we were quite delayed as you know. I think we arrived in Port about 10:30 AM. We did not get off the ship until a little after 12 noon. I hope the issues get resolved, and you are able to have an enjoyable cruise.  

It looks as though the Sapphire is still along side Canada Place. Is this correct? If so, any news on when you will depart?

We were on the Sapphire, did not get off until noon today. I hope the problem is fixed quickly and doesn’t delay the next cruise. 

I often use gift cards to pay for Bev pkg but yes, you must call Princess and have them do it or have your TA do it with Princess. I wish they would add an option for paying with giftcard. 

Can anyone who is currently on the Royal or has has been recently, comment as to whether this is being offered right now? 

Perfect! Thank you everyone for your help! 

I also am looking for a transportation from the pier to our Waikiki hotel. The shuttle/transportation companies that I have called also told me that they are not allowed to pick up inside the terminal. The ones that are available for online booking are either to or from the airport but I am needing from the cruise terminal to Waikiki hotel. We are 4 adults with 6 pieces of luggage. I also don’t want to chance not being able to fit into an Uber. 
I would appreciate any help on this as well.

We use DN Transportation LAX. We have used them 4 times The owner, Renee, is a super nice guy. Has always been reliable and on time. The service we receive is excellent and we think the price is reasonable for the service we receive. Black Cadillac Escalade.

We just got off the Enchanted last cruise and it could be used for anything including the casino. They do not differentiate it as a separate OBC.

I suspect they word it that way to encourage people to use it only for excursions and nothing else. 

We no longer do any excursions in the Caribbean. 

Thank you so much for this first hand info!!!

Thanks for your replies! It is showing on our cruise Personalizer as OBC, So that is what I figured but I was just wondering if it would show up differently once we were on the ship.

We have the promotional “excursion credit.” I am wondering if that will show up on our folio as onboard credit or must it be used strictly to book an excursion?

We are going on the Discovery Princess in August. Just wondering where the best place is to park for the week of our cruise? Any suggestions appreciated!

We were on the Emerald last week. We spoke to The dining manager and he said it was closed due to technical/mechanical Issues in the kitchen. He said they were hoping to get it up and running by the next cruise.

Where is the PES lounge located?

Congratulations! So happy that you got your upgrade! That makes me feel hopeful that it’ll work for us next week!

"Officials in Colombia recently enacted new and unexpected policies that require cruise guests to be tested for covid-19 in order to go ashore. This is inconsistent with our port agreement but .....this is the position they have taken." 

Jim

We are on this cruise after you. This info is disappointing but as everyone knows cruising right now requires flexibility. Thank for the info!

Thank you for taking your time to share!

We will be on the Emerald on Jan 18th to Panama Canal and appreciate all the info. Hoping and praying that our trip still goes….

I gave our friends/ travel companions Princess onboard credit for our upcoming Panama Canal cruise on January 18th.
