When docking at Rotterdam for Copenhagen do Cunard offer free transfers and, if so, to where.

Yes the CAT is the free bus. You will know them from the regular bus service as it will say (colour) CAT i.e. R ED CAT as the destination of the front of the buses. Various bus sto around the city will state RED CAT for example.

Beware. 5March is a public holiday in Perth and public transport will be on a reduced timetable. http://www.transperth.wa.gov.au for all transport info.

The crossing over the railway line at Fremantle is situated in a car park so make sure you are looking out for it. I think Rottnest in a half day is going to be too much. Check out the ferry times and length of the crossing AND the type of ferry. You would need the fast one. I had heard they have a SMALL bus to tour the island but 99% would be by bicycle which you hire on the island.Best part of Fremantle is fish and chips from CIserellos at Fishing Boat Harbour. Round House is a must. In Perth a must is Kings Park and the Perth Mint. Both places you can get to using the CAT buses.

We got a taxi from the ship up to the ANZAC. Just ask the driver for his card and give him a ring to come and pick you up when you are ready.

For all the cruisers due to visit our beautiful Fremantle. When you berth you will see the railway station in front of you and slightly to the right with an old wooden bridge going over the railway line. Unless you are fit don't go over the bridge. Walk along the road until you are just past the station and there is a pedestrian crossing over the line. The train will have you in the city of Perth in 25 mins. Purchase tickets from the machine when you enter. In Perth look out for colour coded public transport CAT Buses. Each colour has a different route and will go to all the tourist attractions and they are FREE. Outside Fremantle railway station is a bus stop for the Orange CAT and that will take you to all the tourist attractions around Fremantle and again it is free. If you are visiting on a Friday or Saturday the Fremantle markets will be open. And of course you can get the Ferry over to Rottnest Island to see our famous quokkas. Have a wonderful stay.:)

I have been reading in amazement that booked passengers have been receiving notifications from Princess that their booked cruise will NOT have the Ocean Medallion. Why am I amazed? The postings all appear to be from folks in the US, the email from Princess came from the North America Sales, and us folks here in good old Australia who are booked on the Ocean Medallion cruises have heard nothing about this. We most certainly have received no advice whatsoever.

The Big Question is : Why have Princess made the decision to advise some of the booked passengers and not ALL of the booked passengers on the affected cruises?

We’re taking a b2b in Nov ‘18 with first leg on Royal and second on Crown. We received the letter that the Royal probably would not have *****. But have not heard anything about the Crown. And its Nov ‘18 cruises are still being marketed as ***** vacations.

 

What’s the story about the Crown.

Have been following the threads regarding the *****. Amazing that you are booked on the Royal in Nov 2018 and have received an advice already. We are booked on Royal May 2018 and have not heard a thing!! Nothing like keeping ALL booked passengers fully informed.
