Alaskanb Posted June 25, 2017 Author #26 Share Posted June 25, 2017 As with all your reviews this one is excellent and shows the amount of effort you put into your research - the same as when we did the Baltic with you several years ago. If only everyone would do the same and share their research and experiences............. Thank you -- remember you well. I enjoy doing and sharing the research.

Alaskanb Posted June 26, 2017 Author #28 Share Posted June 26, 2017 Did you not see the murals on the ends of the buildings in Invergordon? We saw some of them -- very impressive--but it was not a focus of our tour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare geoherb Posted June 27, 2017 #29 Share Posted June 27, 2017 Thanks for posting your review. We're going in August. Did you need a lot of cash for incidentals along the way or just charge everything? I'm trying to work out how much we'll need--how much to bring with us and how much to get out of ATMs along the way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm trying to work out how much we'll need--how much to bring with us and how much to get out of ATMs along the way. We took about €300 and £400 for the pre-cruise and cruise portion. You could charge in most places. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FritzG Posted June 28, 2017 #35 Share Posted June 28, 2017 Do you know if the 6pm TD was actually at 6pm rather than 5:30 or 5:45? This has been an issue lately on all of our Princess cruises. The British Isles cruise in 2015 was the only one that had the 6pm time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was not --ours was 5:30 but you would be served if arriving before 6. We spoke to the Maitre D when we saw our 5:30 time on the afternoon of embarkation day.

FritzG Posted June 28, 2017 #37 Share Posted June 28, 2017 Darn! Why do they confirm a 6pm dining reservation for td when it doesn't exist? When we were on the Star Hawaiian cruise in March the maitre d' told us that we could come at 6pm, too, but we felt that it caused our waiter more work. Princess doesn't want to give a straight answer on this either. The maitre d', and the CC host want to blame corporate. I've contact corporate, and they said each maitre d' makes the decision.

So agree! On the Star in Alaska they did not have 6 pm dining but they also did not have a table for two in the early traditional MDR. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
