DrivesLikeMario Posted May 11, 2017 #178 Share Posted May 11, 2017 Just drop by the purser's desk and they'll tell you if it's refundable or non-refundable OBC that you have left. They're supposed to use the non-refundable OBC first, then the refundable OBC. If it's purely just from your tour being cancelled, it should be refundable OBC and you will get the money back. Someone else can tell you whether it'll be in the form of a check in 3-6 weeks or a credit to your credit card (they change how they refund it from time to time so I'm not positive.) Enjoying your Live From! Hope the voice gets better soon! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rocklinmom Posted May 11, 2017 #179 Share Posted May 11, 2017 Yes hope your throat feels better soon! Such a bummer to have that on your cruise. So it sounds like your port stop at Le Havre France is still a go? I keep reading about a port strike there.

casofilia Posted May 11, 2017 #180 Share Posted May 11, 2017 It will depend on the currency you paid in and the currency of your credit card (I did not check back where you are from!!). As the currency on the boat is USD, if you want USD then go and ask to be paid out in cash. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sandij Posted May 11, 2017 #181 Share Posted May 11, 2017 A wonderful review, we do almost this itinerary next year on the Royal for our 50th, except we stop in Liverpool and this old Beatles fan is excited. Thanks for letting me preview my trip.:cool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare pkt1976 Posted May 12, 2017 Author #182 Share Posted May 12, 2017 Hi all yes we've ported in Le Havre and I'm so grateful I booked an afternoon tour. Still can't talk, still exhausted so I was able to sleep in this morning and can rest until the tour. I took some pics around the ship I'll share when I get home.... running low on minutes. I found the pb&j area. Butter, 4 jams, cream. I didn't see the bread though In The same area though. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spideysmum Posted May 12, 2017 #183 Share Posted May 12, 2017 Nice recap for someone (me) who was also on the cruise. Agree with everything. Totally awesome staff in every venue. We were sad to leave this morning as we disembarked early to spend a week in Paris. Very smooth disembarkation and we got a taxi to the train station quickly.

Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Hope you come back to this thread Spideysmum! We are disembarking in Le Havre as well in August. Did you pre-purchase your train tickets? Did you get the 10:05 train to Paris or an earlier one? Would appreciate any information that would make our trip smoother :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sunsetbeachgal Posted May 12, 2017 #186 Share Posted May 12, 2017 Thanks OP for all of your work on this thread! We are booked in this itinerary next year, hate to hear that they miss the stop at Kirkwall frequently. Will prepare myself!

srpilo Posted May 13, 2017 #191 Share Posted May 13, 2017 I looked for the peanut butter and jelly bar this afternoon but didn't see it. My France tour isn't until the afternoon tomorrow so I'll look again. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk The PB& J bar is a treat reserved for the dinner buffet only..

blueridge20 Posted May 13, 2017 #194 Share Posted May 13, 2017 Have enjoyed your live postings very much. We are booked on this cruise in August, but we overnight in Dublin and don't port in Kirkwall. Looking forward to more pics after you get home and any words of wisdom on what we should or should not do. Have a safe trip home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare pkt1976 Posted May 14, 2017 Author #200 Share Posted May 14, 2017 Congratulations to the OP you have made lots of people happy. That is what I find so great in the totally misnamed Cruise Critic!! Wish they would change the name to something Positive!!! The customer service manager actually mentioned this at the meet and greet and feel that "critic" has a negative connotation but he said that most on CC are supportive of Princess and the cruise industry in general. He also said they DO read our reviews and posts as well. I got home last night....showered and went to bed!!!!! I feel pretty good today, voice still isn't totally with me but I have a lovely deep and gravelly voice today. I'm going to rest for the most part today as it's back to work tomorrow. I'm very glad I did laundry before I left so I don't have to deal with that!!! :p any questions, let me know. I'll start working through pics and uploading and posting more stuff this week.
