I suppose another sea day, with the punters spending onboard would be better for the shareholders. I wonder if anyone got the port fees refunded?

colourbird Posted June 16, 2023 #27 Share Posted June 16, 2023 They must have known this was going to happen ages ago as they never released any shore excursions in Eden for the 10 November 2023 cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good point. I am also booked on the same Princess cruise as Geoff and booked my shore excursion in Eden at the same time as I made the cruise booking, months ago.

Have you received a refund for the cruise and excursion in Eden? I think Aussie cruisers are too trusting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a cruise on Brilliance to Kangaroo Island in November and Kangaroo is probably the deciding reason I booked it. People have noted that there’s no shore excursions for Kangaroo island ,I wonder if we make it there. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Princess is prepared to persevere with tendering, so were always committed to visiting Eden. Royal cancelled an Eden visit last season too, so have already demonstrated that they aren't prepared to tender into Snug Cove, especially given past promises that the port would be ready to accept them docking there. I think Royal have just been sitting on the fence hoping they would be given the all-clear to dock, while also not fully committing and scheduling tours. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When we visit Kangaroo Island, we always allow a couple of extra days to get off the island, as locals advised us the ferries can be unreliable because of seas.

Emzz02 Posted June 16, 2023 #36 Share Posted June 16, 2023 We’re on the Nov 10th 3 nighter which has had Eden cancelled. Another person on our roll call called RCL and was told they weren’t refunding the port fees and taxes which is interesting.. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The person should follow up that advice, as they are entitled to refund of port fees and taxes if port is missed. Do RCL think they are a law unto themselves?

In the meantime, they have use of your money. I never prepay excursions, as you don’t know what the weather is going to be like on a cruise. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NSWP Posted June 17, 2023 #40 Share Posted June 17, 2023 (edited) A lot of work happening in Eden harbour, the wave Accenuator, etc. Probably why cruise ship berthing restrictions. Edited June 17, 2023 by NSWP 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
