I thought it was Paulo Ravera, but I could be wrong. :)

Have done this cruise 3 times... loved each time! We did it once in April and the other times in Oct. I like the weather in April better as it was hotter and sunnier. Oct. is the start of their rainy season, and that one particular year we had a lot of rain on the islands, so if you could pick , I would say April . Hope that helps! :)

I am Elite and non drinker and non coffee drinker too. Like the others have said is all true. For myself, I do swap out the mini bar for water or sometimes for the 2 coffee cards and have as much hot chocolate as I please!! lol :)

Yes on the Share the savings cruise.... it will say at the bottom of your booking where it says share the savings..... I believe its a week or so after you have booked and added your friends for the share the savings. Plus if those cabins are gone, then they are out of luck too.

Yes, I've had it in the dining room.

March/ April is the better choice for weather.... October/ November is their rainy season. I have done that cruise 3 times.... loved it... but prefer the spring time instead of the fall.

yes, it will be a 49 day cruise from FLL to LA around the horn!! I think it will be very popular, just like the Grand Princess was when it did it the first time!

1 week ago, I disembarked the Star in Vancouver and asked for the first walk off. sometimes they have 4 groups of walkoffs, so ask for the first group. OUr meeting place was Explorers and right by the door to exit. we were right by the door and at 7:45am..... we were let go!!! LOl :)
I usually don't go to the Elite lounge because I too have an early flight and being first walkoff, its easier just going to the lounge that they tell you to in the disembarkation sheet.
hope that helps. :)

Yes , that is exactly what it means. right now the 30% exchange rate is good!!! buy lots. much better.:)

I have done that trail up to MOunt Roberts many times and in each month of the year that the ships are there. Yes, it can get muddy at times, but I always bring an old pair or runners from home and when done walking the trail, and back to the ship, I put them in a bag and throw them away. Works perfect.
If you want to walk up and take the tram down, just buy something in the gift shop at the top for 10.00p.p and show your receipt...
have fun, as it is a wonderful hike............ and just think how many desserts you can have once back on baord!! LOL :D

It was the Crown, I was on the following cruise, which was shortened by a day. Fortunately I had bought the insurance which paid for a night at the Crowne Plaza and my meals. I think we got some FCC and OBC money on the lost night.
Thats right too.... we had heard that many people had already flown into LA for the cruise, only to find out about the delay. Many unhappy passengers on your cruise, I believe. Ours too, but the Captain and his crew did the best they could under the circumstances. Some on our cruise, had major flight costs.... we were chatting with our next door neighbours on our balcony... they were from Holland, and so for a last minute flight back home, they were looking at a bill of 3000.00 ( don't forget they already paid for their airfare way back when, when they booked the cruise). Another couple from Australia said they had to fork out over 10,000.00. Like I said, interesting end to our cruise!:)

This happened on one of our South Pacific cruises, the 28day R/T Los Angeles... we had left Papette and had 8 sea days back to LA. On day 4, a crew member became very sick.... the Captain made the decision to turn back around and head to the Marquesas Islands ..... we did so and the entire process went very smoothly. We just entered the bay area of the little town , lowered a tender boat and removed the sick crew member, then headed back out to sea. Once we were back to our orginal position on the ocean before we turned around, exactly 24 hours had passed by. Yep, you guessed it...... we were now going to be 24 hours late returning to LA!!!!! so instead of Sat. we would be there on Sunday........ for those passengers that booked their airfare through Princess, they were fine... they didn't have to do anything. Those of us who booked independent air, we had to scramble to get new air ( at our cost.)....... I must say though, first time we had experienced that and Princess did an outstanding job of organizing it onboard. In the attruim, they had different lines for all the different airlines... one crew member for each line would get the airline on the phone and explain what was going on, and as each passenger would complete their re-booking, the phone was passed to the next passenger, without hanging up, so it went very quickly . We had asked the Captain as to why we did not divert to Hawaii , and he said that everyone would had to of disembarked in Hawaii and fly home, and many on that trip could not fly, due to medical reasons. So, the closest was the Marquesas Islands. Very interesting end to our cruise.
