Although the Grand Princess is the oldest ship of the fleet, she is in great condition. We have just completed a 14 day New Zealand cruise and have another 21 days to look forward to. There is absolutely no odors present, the promenade deck goes around the entire deck, and no warped planking evident. The Grand had a major refurbishment during Covid with extensive updating. The crew was excellent. Don’t hesitate to sail on the Grand Princess!

No, EZ check for luggage is not available in Southampton.

We were recently on the Caribbean Princess for the Canada New England cruise. There was no Bingo. There was a new game Deal or No Deal, you bought cards for this in the Casino. The game was held in Princess theater. We did not go and have no idea how it works

Sailing through the orchard my new favorite! Vodka, spiced pear liqueur, elderflower liqueur, triple sec, lemon juice, simple syrup, aromatic bitters, delicious!

Regarding wait list, we’ve had good luck clearing the list. If waitlisted prior to final payment likely to happen shortly after final payment due. Good luck, that’s a popular excursion!

In our case we’ve done over 25 cruises and have always received refundable OBC. Wise to thoroughly understand contract with travel agency before booking. I stand corrected, that OBC always refundable. Buyer beware!

Travel Agent OBC is definitely refundable

Last November 4 of us took a cab to Long Beach for $60.00. The taxis were readily available both from and back to airport from port.

We will have $1500 on our Canada cruisetour the end of the month. Only $200 is non refundable, the rest is TA & Military, FCD. Definitely pays to book with Travel Agent.

We did the Italy cruisetour a number of years ago. You will have the same tour escort and bus driver the entire time. In each city you will have different guides for tours, The hotels are all excellent, as are the meals. As far as walking the tour of the Vatican has the most walking. They do skip the line saving time. We have done 5 cruise tours with Princess and everyone has been excellent!

We called Princess and was able to make an appointment to have it done at the terminal. There was a charge, but test was quick and convenient. This was at Ft Lauderdale.

Club class is very strict, only allowing passengers in Suites or Club Class mini suites in. They have a list at the door of eligible diners. It is a perk that diners have paid extra for.

Take a taxi, the Princess transfer charge is person, while taxi fare is per ride.

No reason why not, you can book it yourself will be cheaper than using Princess. Alternatively you can always book a different hotel and taxi to tour hotel at tour start.
