Where are you seeing this sale ??  Is it just for Europe citizens or can I get it in the US??

Was the scantuary full on the sailing ?  Do you know of they did anything special when doing the canal??

If none of the Alaska tours at the lodges do not interest us, what else is there to do.  Is there a bus into Talkeetna from the Mt. Micklney lodge ?  So maybe we could just go into town??  Any suggestions 

Yes...you can request via dietary request via cruise personalizer

We were on the Sky last Dec/January and loved Take 5 - it is a very large lounge and has a very long bar.  With the regal, we did go to Crooners, but you need to pick the right time, on our transatlantic is was very empty but in the Caribbean it is busy  , we usually try to go around 6ish - or after dinner - around 8 ish

We leave on our PC cruise  on Tuesday 11/16 so our testing for Covid must be done on Sunday or Monday.  Has anyone successfully used this service https://www.emed.com/?gclid=CjwKCAjw7fuJBhBdEiwA2lLMYVmnXgv_JCo4eM3sWPrU4lkcjzdS0z4JDGWj-lwMi1FK2VsPkgbZSxoCt0QQAvD_BwE

It is an at home test monitored by Emed and you get results in 15 minutes  cost is 150 for  6 kits

It says FDA approved so per Princess FAQs they should accept it BUT I want to know if anyone has done it and had princess accept the results 

Thanks

Is it new bookings only??

Not sure there is any right now - with cruising just starting .  But usually on the web site under deals

Can you reserve cabanas in the Hollywood conservatory,  for example when you ate in Glacier Bay

 We ate on the Majestic next year with a group of 6 so it would be fun for Glacier Bay if we could...Thanks for any info

We are booked on the regal in 2022 for 26 days starting in Barcelona and ending I FLA.  Never traveled in the Med.before so looking for advice on good tours and a.good.guide book that would cover.all the ports....I REALLY want a good Vatican tour in Rome and will to pay top $$ if need be.  

We are going in November so hopefully crowds will be low.  Would love info about that from someone who has visited.that time of year, crowded ?  Weather ? Etc.

I love plan so yes I know it it over a year away but looking forward is fun for me

Thanks for any advice or info

It has been so long, anyone know which dinning room has the club class dinning on the Crown Princess ? 

So based on these posts - looks like you get to choose arrival times about 2 months out.  Has anyone been able to link another couple to your reservation and then book a arrival time for the group ?  We are sailing in November with another couple and We are elite and they are not - Hope to get to group them with us for arrival time. 

Just logged on to princess and for my November canal cruise - I had to acknowledge that I have to prove I have been vaccinated.  This cruise leaves from Ft. Lauderdale.  and If I am unable to prove it, I will be denied boarding.  So it looks like princess is moving ahead no matter what the FL law.  I am glad

Go into the cruise personalizer , go into manage my booking, click on check in - 

for you there should be link on the page for Dietary Requests.  Click on that and there is a choice for water for CPAP.  It will generate an email and you will receive a confirmation in a few days of the request.  Once on board, just remind the cabin steward.  They always provide a whole gallon, which has lasted my husband for the whole cruise - we always have left over.  even on a 15 day cruise. 

Have not been on the majestic yet - but with most ships, we did not need a extension cord.  But did need store the machine daily so not to be in the way of the cabin steward 

Good luck

You can see what we did in our report at

 

 

Since that was9 years ago, the tours offered now may be different.

Wow what a great report - That helps with information for sure !!

I am keeping myself busy with planning our Alaska cruise tour for 2022.   We are going in May.  We will be staying at the Mt. McKinley Wilderness Lodge for 2 nights and about a day and 1/2 and then staying at Denali Lodge for about the same amount.  At the Denali lodge we have the Natural History Tour included.  What I am wondering for those who have stayed at the lodges , What did you do ?  What Tours did you take ?  We will be 3 couples, 1 from the US and two from the UK.  My husband and I have been to Alaska before but the couples from the UK have not.  So looking for something interesting, a easy hike maybe, but nothing with heights, one of the group cannot handle that.  

We are schedule to take the train to the ship so that will be fun, and then we plan wale watching and seeing the dog(s) with the sleds but also will take recommendations for tours in the stops . 

I know it is a long way away but with no cruises yet this year, I have to do something that will keep my hopes up about cruising 

Thanks

I'm glad that USA has made enough progress for USA to BEGIN vaccinated cruises. IMO, the CDC has correctly forced the industry to make a slow methodical approach.

 

Here's a number of complications besides the terms of the Framework. CCL has to decide quickly whether they will apply for test cruises for un-vaccinated pax. This will delay their preparations.

 

The ball is now in Arnold Donald's court. Put up or redeploy the ships!

 

The second problem is Florida. The government has banned enforcement of a vax mandate. Will likely go to court. Well, there's always CA and NY.

 

International cruises will likely have to be vaccinated ships. EU and many other countries will only allow vax persons to enter their countries without restrictions. Likely to remain in force for North America for a long time.

 

That's because we do not have herd immunity. For example, FL has been in a high plateau for two months. In terms of cases and positivity rates.

 

https://floridahealthcovid19.gov/#latest-stats

 

Bottom Line: FL is averaging 60 deaths a death. More than Canada (pop 38m) currently winding down from the Third Wave.

 

https://health-infobase.canada.ca/covid-19/epidemiological-summary-covid-19-cases.html?stat=num&measure=deaths_last14&map=pt#a2

 

Remember Cruise lines are NOT registered in the USA - Florida cannot mandate what they do ... so I think the lines can say all passengers and crew must be vaccinated.   If FL wants the travel $$ cruises brings , they will probably change their mind on vaxs

What makes you think it will be free?

The CDC states the test cruises have to be with non-paying passengers and not people dependent on the cruise line for a job 

With all the new CDC rules and guidance, I have yet to see if you can volunteer for the test cruises .  Has anyone heard or seen anything on this ?  I would volunteer for sure, I am fully vaccinated and would love to 'test' a cruise for free...

Go into Personalizer and log in, click on manage booking for the cruise Click on boarding pass and travel summary 

Click on print travel summary - that document will list everything you are getting as a package on the cruise .  it is all listed under special services

I see that for Alaska in 2022, both the Sapphire and Majestic will be in rotation.  Have not been on either ship.  Opinions on either ship.  We like the Grand and the Royal, Regal and Sky.  Just wondering which ship might be better or should we pick the date with the Grand ? 

Any idea when 2022 Transatlantic itineraries will be out??  Looking for a Mediterranean type crossing

I was looking at the deck plans online.  It appears they added back crooners but removed wines.  Interesting...

I liked vines. Did I miss it ??

Does anyone have any photos or reviews of Caribe on the Regal C401.

Thanks

Hit F5....works for me
