Cool Cruiser

Cool Cruiser (2/15)

  1. Currently on the Coral Princess cruise to PNG. Today is Thanksgiving and the menu in the mdr does not have turkey as an option. The pax are mostly Australian and they said about 40 Americans on board. They are doing some kind of meet and greet for Americans and a Thanksgiving themed trivia but that is it. I'm a little annoyed, it's not like Aussies never eat turkey, it's available year round at the supermarkets and mostly featured at Christmas. And the menu always has 5-6 options so they could have at least offered turkey as an option. Maybe it will be in the buffet.
  2. Mine is still pending, just now checked it. If they aren't going to accept my bid I wish they would at least send an email denying it. I wonder if these are processed in the USA or Australia for a ship sailing from an Aussie port?
  3. My cruise is 17 Nov - Coral PNG cruise and my bid is still pending. I have an obstructed ocean view and bid the minimum on a balcony. Up to Saturday, they were trying to last-minute sell balconies and below. Bid is still pending with 3 days to go.
  4. That scenario can't happen in Brisbane. The cruise terminal has no public transport and is out on its own. If Princess holds back the positives until the negatives disembark, the taxis and ubers will know. We are a 20 minute uber from Brisbane cruise terminal. We are self-isolating pre-cruise to remain negative. So I am looking at worst case scenario if we catch it on the ship. 11 day PNG cruise.
  5. What happened to people who were positive and living in Brisbane? How did they get home if they originally were planning to take a taxi or uber? Would a taxi or uber driver knowingly accept a positive passenger?
  6. How do you go about using obc in the casino? I have seen on the US Princess board that people withdraw credit and buy chips which they can cash out for currency. Can you still do this and does it work on the Coral Princess? Basically we have $175 obc and all we want is to cover the internet package and get some AUD cash to pay tour operators ashore. Even if we can get some extra cash and it bills to the shipboard account that is a win as it avoids cash advance fees.
  7. I understand that if you buy the internet package on board, it is more expensive. So does anyone know a way to buy the package beforehand and make sure it comes off the obc? Do I have to call someone? Do it while checking in or on the same day?
  8. If I book the Medallionnet package in the app before boarding, do they charge it to my obc? I want to avoid having anything put on my credit card since I will struggle to use the obc otherwise. We don't drink and are doing independent shore excursions. I am platinum and qualify for 50% off.
  9. I just checked and we are in Boarding group C 1:00-1:30. I am platinum my husband is ruby. I vaguely remember choosing that time to allow if our Uber is late or something. We had problems with Ubers cancelling on us sometimes. So if we are a bit early, my platinum status will get us onboard earlier?
  10. I finally got it booked over the phone and it shows up in the app. But I still can't see speciality restaurant booking slots on any other day. I decided to do it the first day, looking forward to a nice filet mignon and my husband will probably go for lobster or prawns.
  11. When do bookings open for specialty restaurants? I can't find any booking times available in the app. So I called Princess and the girl seems pretty clueless. MDR reservations are open.
  12. Bumping this up. I was wondering if the menu is the same every night or do they change it. We have vouchers for a specialty restaurant so might try Bayou. Do they have key lime pie every night?
  13. I am on that cruise and also happy for the 2 day visit to Rabaul as it gives a chance to do morning bird watching at the Wild Dog Mine Road hotspot. Not sure how much it would cost to hire a car and driver, will look into it more next month.
