Thank you.

Hi, I have a b2b planned from Boston to Quebec City and back in Aug/Sept on the Emerald Princess. On the nights in Quebec City, will the ship have a required onboard time or is one allowed to come and go at will? Thank you.

We celebrated our 50th Anniversary on the Emerald last December. I put it on our personalizer and nothing was said to us, I was disappointed as we have celebrated birthdays onboard and they made us feel special. Still had a wonderful cruise, of course!

Thank you LACruiser88 and Paula. Great info.

Thank you Ken and Jerry. We like sea days too.

Hello, I have read various reviews about the Island Princess and am pretty hesitant to sail her, but I would like to take some of the itineraries offered. I am looking for pros and cons from people who have cruised on the Island Princess lately. Also, I read an old review that said all the balconies on the Lido and Aloha decks were open with no covering. Is this still true? Thank you.

Thanks, but I was thinking she was talking about the Quebec City Jean Lesage International Airport. I could have misread though. 🙂

I have searched for a hotel with a free airport shuttle, but haven't found one. Have you? If you don't mind...:-)

Thank you to all of you who offered valid suggestions and sympathy. I hope perhaps my post was beneficial in helping others to think about and to form a plan if they ever are in this situation. I know it has for me. I went to my regular doctor today and seem to be doing well. My husband is being treated for kidney stones. I won't post any more or answer any more posts. Mod, would you please close this post?

I am happy to hear that this could have been handled well and happy it was for you. I appreciate your well-said post.

You said you thought this was a money grab. It wasn't/isn't. That seems to indicate you were saying that I was trying to make it a money grab. It doesn't matter, I know my reasons for posting.

The service had no availability as they were completely booked. I did call twice. The shuttle we were finally on was completely full. We did wear masks. In hindsight, I should have called a taxi or uber or something similar.

What an absurdly rude and completely unnecessary comment to make! No where did you see me post that I was seeking any money other than from my insurance company. I posted this mostly to warn others to dress warmly when debarking in Galveston and to question whether Princess could consider, based on the limitations on them, changing their policies. I have gotten several responses with ideas for what I should have done and that is good, because at the time, I wasn't really in a great shape to think of more solutions.

You are quite right. I did try to move my original shuttle time up. I don't even know for sure why I didn't call a taxi. I am not quite comfortable with using Uber yet, but am getting better and will learn more. I do have a better plan if, God forbid, this happens again.

Believe me, I have asked myself that many times. I wasn't thinking clearly. I also have had a lot of difficulty getting taxis at Galveston in the past and have seen people having to wait on an Uber outside the port (which I wasn't really able to walk to), but maybe that is better now. I have a definite plan if this ever happens again.
