We are looking at booking the circle pacific cruise on sea princess in 2020, From sydney.

I have a few questions, mostly related to money

1 insurance...? Is it better to just buy a year of insurance and would this cover the trip? How does everyone else do this?

2 visas?

3 best way to do this on a budget?, and see as much as possible.

4 any tips at all would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance

Hi I am interested in joining this thread as I am planning a world cruise for my 60th in 2021 too. I am from Australia but we are prepared to start and finish anywhere. My husband hates too much fuss but I am a planner and organiser.

1) Does anyone know if there are any benefits from beginning in a certain place?

2) would it be better to travel half way with one cruise line and do the other side with another to get all the ports you want?

Why are you worried about hepatitis?

We received an email to warn us that someone had hep e onboard. My new designer luggage arrives next week.

Our bag arrived home. It appears untouched. Princess paid the freight. The end, well almost, just waiting the 40 days post our cruise for hepatitis e symptoms to not appear.

Well some good news. I rang princess and ....They have found our bag...But... Need to find out how it happened before they will send it back or ring me. They need to do this to find out who pays for the transport. I am definitely buying some distinctive cabin bags and trackers.

Thanks for the replies. The suitcase had several distinctive markers. A big red band with initials on it. Several tags on the handle. I did this because it was black and borrowed. 2 of us did a systematic search of all the luggage in the area as well as the lost tag section. As well as three different staff members. We did suspect that a trolley of luggage with the same disembark code was misplaced. I am really looking for advice on how to approach princess about this or my insurance company. Instead of waiting several weeks and then acting on it. I just want to be prepared.

We disembarked the golden princess in Melbourne on the 13th Feb 2017. We put out our two suitcases the night before as instructed and only one was there for us at the luggage collection point. We filled out a missing and damaged luggage report. We were rushed off on the princess shuttle to the airport with two other couples who also lost their luggage. I have rung princess cruises and have a referral number to use but they have not yet phoned or emailed me. You would think it should be found by now. I want to know the best way to handle this. My bag had all sorts of stuff in it and it's going to be such a hassle to replace. Has anyone ever had their bag returned to them?
