My advice with EZAir is to create an account on the airline website. Sign up to receive flight notifications from the airline. We have had many flight changes made by airlines. Everything from departure and arrival times to flight number changes.

Glad you don’t want them. More for others.  Are you referring to WS on the Grand/Caribbean?  Definitely would stay away from them on the Royal class ships. 
 

Just curious.  Why? 

So I can book one every time I cruise!

Window Suite? 

Avoid all all cost.

These baloneys can be very windy when the ship is cruising at sea. They are great for viewing glaciers and entering and leaving ports.

I think you should contact your Princes CVP.

If this is the only Alaska cruise you will take, Glacier Bay is the one.

We are booked on this cruise. We have spent 16 days on the Grand to Hawaii in 2019. Promenade deck is fantastic. 

Thank you everyone. I have done much research on the US State Department website and the various south pacific island websites. I will do so again 3 to 4 months before sail away date. I wanted real life experiences and you all have given me much information. Again, thank you to all of you.

I'm not guessing either. I agree it's much too important. My research all indicates a visa is not required. I'm looking for your experiences if you've actually been to these south pacific islands.

Oct 31, 2024, Grand Princess round trip to the south pacific from Los Angeles.

Does a US citizen need a visa for American Samoa, Western Samoa, Fiji, and/or French Polynesia? We are going on a south pacific cruise next year and my research indicates non required. But I want to know of your experience if you've been to these places.

We have notice from time to time, the odor of sewage in certain areas of the ship on Carnival, RCCL, Celebrity and Princess.

I believe it is from the ship having to hold and store sewage.  They no longer have the ability to simply dump it at sea.  Sometimes, one will notice it when the ship is in dock and a barge is next to it, pumping out the sewage. 

The barge you see is pumping fuel into the ships fuel storage tanks.

Can we come live with you lol.  What a view !!
