The month of December we were on the Sapphire. Pub lunch was a regular occurrence in a dining room and posted in the Patter. Fish and chips were tasty, steak and kidney pie full of tasty kidney pieces. Scotch egg could have been better but still good. Ploughmans lunch a miss. Shepherds Pie also very good. Plenty of chips with meals, mushy peas strange. Could order several mains with no issues. Desserts not worth having. Overall a lunch worth having. We went around 12:45 and had no issues with seating. Definitely far better in a dining room than a lounge. Union Jacks, waiters in black aprons, vinegars available. Overall a very nice experience.

Check your Travel Summary on your Princess account. Ticket numbers will show up.

Just checked on our August flights to LHR on BA website and it shows we were ticketed February 23.

I have not even made final payment.

Our EZAir booking for August to LHR is also showing as ticketed. Numbers have been showing for a couple of weeks. Flight is 140 days out.

They should have Clinique, definitely available onboard at good prices in October and December. I usually stock up to utilize OBC.

We are booked with EZAir for our Norway cruise. Fare thru EZAir, SAN-LHR, return on direct flights is $3850pp Business class on BA. Looking at BA website for exact same flights $14670. Fare has not dropped on EZAir since availability opened. We had issues with Covid last year in London and EZAir staff were very helpful and accommodating. Arrived home one day after quarantine as there were no Business Class seats available the first day we could travel. Highly recommend utilizing EZAir if you are flying International.

We had a great time during the Coquimbo port stop in December. Visited the Elqui Valley stopping a wineries, Pisco distillery and Observatories. The valley has been labeled the astronomical capital of the world.

On our Antarctic cruise December 2022 we received slippers and blue bag. Sewing kit was available on request at Guest Services. Cabin Steward had pens available. Nasty, watery lotion in pump bottles on counter in bathroom. Looked and felt watered down.

You will need to rebook to change your cabin class. Pre-Covid I attempted to do similar, from Premium Economy on BA to Business Class, no luck. Cancelled original flights and rebooked. On our August cruise out of Southampton, BA changed departure time by 4 minutes and it did not meet Princess time requirement. Instead of non-stop we were rerouted thru Philadelphia, not going to happen. Changed for a second time, same price thru DFW better connection. Today I attempted to change our return flight from LHR to SAN to following day fare increased $3k pp. Happy with flying thru DFW. Good Luck.

When we sail out of Buenos Aires we always show up around 3:00pm and have no issues boarding. The terminal is not set up to handle large numbers of passengers or multiple ships. Disembarkation in January was a disaster as 3 ships in port and passengers attempting to board arriving well before suggested time created traffic jams.

Total from the bus parking lot to Petra entrance and the hike to the Monastery could be around 10 miles round trip. The trail to the from the city complex to the monastery has over 800 steps one way. To make it to the monastery you need to move quickly to make the return time to the bus.

We did this excursion in 2019 and thoroughly enjoyed it. Yes there is a lot of walking over uneven ground and can be very hot. I cannot recall what time we arrived but we left the site around 1:00pm for an amazing buffet meal at an area hotel in the way back to the ship. DH had time to hike up to the monastery which is about as far away from the entrance you can get. We booked the excursion as soon as it was available. Prices increased closer to the date. There were many many buses from the ship, including a couple with only crew as passengers.

We had 200 under 18 years old on Santiago to Buenos Aires over Christmas.

You must be special. I just signed into my cruises booked to add the packages to ones I do not already have a package. The prices show $60 and $80. Maybe it is because you have made final payment and you are adding a package. Good luck in resolving.

We have used one of our Goodwill FCC on an existing booking. Contacted our CVP to have it applied.

You do not need to wait for an invite. If you are elite, log into your account on March 5 and you should see the pricing and availability. Releases are usually available at 9:00am California time. We are also thinking of booking if we can get over the thought of it being on the Island, our least favorite ship.

Goes on sale March 5 for Elite.

We were on Baja, think you were caribe and we could talk with the crew quarantined on Aloha. Mostly entertainment staff. Could see the person who was quarantined in our original cabin on Dolphin and exercising. Enjoy your trip.

Were you on the Grand in 2022 to Hawaii?

We flew January on the AA flight in rear facing seats. No issue, nothing to see, slept soundly from EZE to DFW.

The comment has been there for years on all reservations. We have used EZAir for years both in all fare categories and have never been charged. Check with the airline you are flying to see what their rules are.

Thank you for the correction. They were tiny bottles.

Absolutely not true. We have cruised on the Emerald, Grand, Ruby, Majestic, Caribbean and Sapphire in 2022 for over 100 days and all dryers were efficient and done within the preset time period.

Don’t know your beverage choices. Recently, December, we purchased Jack Daniels and Bombay Sapphire, 750ml, for around $26. Call Room Service for delivery and availability.
