I always keep my phone on airplane mode, and I always have Wi-Fi calling enabled. I’m able to call and receive on my phone. I also have used FaceTime and WhatsApp. It’s really no big deal or problem as long as you leave your phone on airplane mode.

I did the British Isles cruise September 5-17, 2023 on the Regal Princess. We spent 2 nights before and 4 nights after the cruise in London. We stayed at the Hampton Inn Waterloo because of the location. in London we used The Tour Guy for Buckingham Palace and the Tower of London. Westminster Abbey we went to Evensong which is free to everyone and starts at 5:00 pm. But,you have to get in line about 4:00. It fills up fast. Guernsey: we did the Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society tour. Portland: we used Dorset tours for Stonehenge Cork: Best of Cork and Countryside through Princess Dublin: we rode the train into Dublin and rode the HOHO bus Belfast: we booked Giants Causeway and Antrim Coast through Get Your Guide Glasgow: we booked Stirling Castle and Loch Lomond through Timberbush Tours Inverness: Urquhart Castle, Culloden Battlefield and Loch Ness Edinburgh: we had tea at the castle then we toured Paris through Princess with lunch on a Seine river cruise.

Where to buy wine in San Pedro?
irishgirl replied to GeorgiaGrandma 1's topic in West Coast Departures
The Doubletree has a shuttle and they will take you anywhere within 5 miles you want to go. They took us to the grocery store which had liquor, wine and beer. They also had a great deli for sandwiches. Shuttle is free. -
I just got back from a British Isles cruise on the Regal Princess. I had purchased £100 and €100 from my bank. Then I found out it’s cashless over there. Every restaurant, every store, every mode of transportation was tap and go. I used my Visa credit card for everything and it’s my Apple Pay. I came home with all my cash. We even went to one restaurant that told us “We don’t take cash or American Express”. I must say, it’s so much easier and faster to tap and go.

Transport from London to Southhampton cruise terminal
irishgirl replied to Flymama45's topic in British Isles/Western Europe
I booked through Transfeero for all my transfers. It worked out well. -
I too have the Plus-50 package but if I want pizza, I’ll either go to slice, or fork over $12.99 for a pizza. Not going to upgrade for $120 just to get 2 pizzas, not worth it. I don’t want the salad or the dessert, just pizza and a drink. I don’t think I’ve ever gone out for pizza anywhere and ordered salad, pizza and dessert. Nor have I ever seen my friends do that.

My phone is always on Wi-Fi calling. I used Wi-Fi calling on my last Princess cruise and it worked great.

Just got an email outlining the "NEW" offerings
irishgirl replied to canadarocks's topic in Princess Cruises
It’s at the bottom of the email. But you’re probably okay since you booked in August. I had booked in March of 2022. -
Plus50: Why does it show blank under Packages?
irishgirl replied to georgemoe's topic in Princess Cruises
Definitely something wrong with the app. I purchased the Plus plan for my cruise in March of 2022. So, I have the Plus-50. My app shows I have Premier-80. -
Just got an email outlining the "NEW" offerings
irishgirl replied to canadarocks's topic in Princess Cruises
I got the email today, I have the Plus-50 and this was at the bottom of the email. I cruise in 21 days. You currently have a package that doesn’t include these new benefits. But you can easily upgrade your package in the Cruise Personalizer® to take advantage of these additional perks. I’m not going to upgrade, 2 pizzas aren’t worth the $144 or so it would cost to upgrade.- 922 replies

Casual Dining - Fixed Price Menus and A La Carte Charges
irishgirl replied to dides's topic in Princess Cruises
I’m not happy about the changes. I have three cruises booked and I have Plus-50, Plus-60 and Premium packages. Personally, I feel they could eliminate the 2 premium desserts per day and the fitness classes to offset the cost of casual dining. -
¡Live! Regal 12 Night UK Cruise (6/25-7/7)
irishgirl replied to KarmaCruisers's topic in Princess Cruises
I’m glad to hear you liked the Paris Drive and Seine River Cruise because I’ve booked it for our September 5th cruise. -
When you buy one you will want to. I’m looking at Airalo and Dent. Dent allows you to buy or sell unused data. Here’s a video about eSims for Europe.
