Thank you for your quick response. Still wondering if the casino or customer service areas accept foreign cash. Someone above once told me to "ask away" so here goes....does the Caribbean Princess have a chapel and if so, do they conduct any services?

I went to TD bank and got euros and pounds. I didn't think the rate was a bargain plus they charged a $7.50 transaction fee for each. If my ship, Caribbean Princess, can exchange US$'s to foreign currency on a transatlantic, can they exchange any leftover back to US$'s near the end of cruise? Can I use euros or pounds to gamble? To avoid taking extra US$s for gambling, can I charge the amount each day in the casino to my room and pay with credit card at the end of cruise?

I usually bring the cash I plan to gamble with but this time because I needed euros, pounds and it's a 15-day cruise, I didn't want to carry so much money. Can I charge my gambling either on table games or slot machines to my room without incurring any surcharges. Then at the end of my cruise, pay the amount with my VISA? Here's a crazy question but I'm curious. If I have leftover "foreign" money towards the last days, can I use them up to gamble? How does gambling work using the New Medallion gizmo? Hope all you gamblers win big!

My upcoming cruise is close to my 20th but my second on Princess and my last. My 1st Princess cruise was almost 20 years ago when you could talk with a person who was probably an American speaking English, someone who knew what they were doing and truly cared about customer service. Not only is Princess the worst to deal with on the phone, but their ap is horrible. And you're in for a real treat if you attempt to use Princess EZ Air. Someone suggested that Princess is losing business due to their horrible customer service and they have lost me for sure. Right now on their web site it won't accept my airline reservation for my transport from port to airport, they cancelled my dinner reservations that I made shortly after booking so to get the time I wanted. I hung up on EZAir before I booked a flight with them because I could see how they could mess that up. There is nothing Princess could do that would make me book another cruise with them. Princess should ask themselves if the cost savings using offshore "help" is worth the potential business they are losing.

I'm not sure about the availability of getting a tour at the port. We are taking a 5 hr tour visiting Vila Franca and other small villages along the south coast, then on to Furnas to see the hotsprings, lunch and finishing up with tour of Ladoa do Fogo. This is costing us 70 euros each for up to 7-8 people. I'm told there's another couple from our ship, Caribbean Princess, on this tour with us on May11. We are not allowed to post the names of tour companies but it has "Green" in the name of company.

Do cruise ships offer the ability to exchange dollars for euros or pound sterling? Traveling on a Princess ship.

We have the Plus package so how will we know when ordering drinks, that it is not covered with our package? Do I rely on bartender to tell us or should we ask each time we order? Does anyone know the $limit that goes along with Plus package drinks?

I'm looking at my receipt for 5/19/24 transfer from Southampton port to LHR and the cost is $56. I wish somebody would answer my request as to where the Princess shuttle delivers us at the airport. My American flight leaves the next day from Terminal 3. I don't have the stamina to call Princess because it may not be in their script.

I'm taking the Princess shuttle from Southampton to LHR. Has anyone taken and knows where they drop you off. We're staying in Aerotel near Terminal 3 to be close to our American Airlines departure the next day.

I always play Let It Ride both at land casinos and my past two cruises. Half the time you had to stand to wait for a seat. Don't know why you would make such a comment. I hope the $5 minimum is in effect when I board in May, 2024.

We booked transfers to Heathrow at the same time we booked our cruise. Port to LHR was $56 but I wish I knew where the shuttle drops you off. It's a huge airport. We're staying at Aerotel which is convenient to Terminal 3 for departure the next day.

Not sure if you got your answer yet; but Princess does have a shuttle from Southampton port to Heathrow. We booked it directly on their site for $56 pp. for the end of our Transatlantic on 5/19.

We are taking the Princess shuttle from Southampton port to Heathrow at the end of our cruise. Since our American Air flight leaves out of terminal 3, we're considering staying at the Aerotel Hotel at Terminal 3 for convenience. There are no decent flights on Sunday, 5/19 which is why we elected to stay over so we can get a direct flight to PHL on Monday. Do you know where the shuttle takes you once it gets to the airport? Does it stop at different terminals? It would be very difficult for us to be dealing with luggage if we had to board trains, the tube or busses. One more question....is there any place to grab a quick bite for dinner and breakfast in the morning near terminal 3? Thanks for help.

Yes, I meant to say Terminal 3. Thanks for your assistance.

Has anyone ever taken the shuttle from Southampton cruise port to LHR. Do you know which terminal it drops you off at LHR? Our American Air to PHL is leaving 5/20 from gate 3 but we'll be staying overnight on 5/19. That brings me to another question which is how close is Aerotel from Gate 3? I know there are fancier hotels but after a 15 day cruise, I just need a place to get refreshed for a long flight home. Thank you for all your help. P.S. Don't suggest I ask Princess about their shuttles because I don't want to subject myself to their "Customer Service"
