3,000+ Club (3/15)

  1. We did he "evening wildlife tour" to Haines. We loved it. We did the White Pass in the morning and then the tour in the PM. We saw bears fishing for salmon, seals, and lots of eagles. If going back in that area again, we would definitely go to Haines.
  2. It is not a total of $15 for the day but $15 for each drink. You are not limited to 15 total drinks either but are limited to 15 alcoholic drinks each day. Both plus and premier get the desserts.
  3. I am elderly and use an electric wheelchair. What I do is google "accessible name of city", for example accessible Naples. I then contact the agency and describe my problems, wheelchair, desired tour etc. I have found many excellent tours this way. In Naples we used "Rome in Limo" for a tour to Pompei which was excellent. Santorini is a tender port. When we were last there I could walk a little. We took an accessible tour that went to a different dock from the normal one. The bus went all over the island and had a guide. The only problem was transferring to the tender and climbing the steep steps into the bus. I could not do either of those today.
  4. I really want to see the bridge cam.
  5. I love this journal. We have been on a partial transit twice, once through the old locks and once through the new. My dad was in the navy during WWII and stationed in the canal zone. I had really wanted to cruise there. I wish he had still been alive and able to go with us. We also got the certificates on both cruises, also got one for being above the arctic circle.
  6. We were there prior to covid. At that time all the shuttles were large buses with 4 to 5 steep steps. They did not want to load my (then) scooter onto our shuttle but ultimately did so.
  7. I must have an accessible cabin if I am to sail. I have requested such a balcony cabin (pre-covid) and all were sold out. We were waitlisted but at that time could only choose one category rather than all accessible ones. I checked daily and was able to "grab" an oceanview accessible. I was never notified of the availability. However it was not a balcony which was what I was waitlisted for. '
  8. My problem with the survey is I never get it. I changed my email about 4 years ago. Princess IT will not let me change my address. I've tried 15 or so times and it never works. I get no offers nor surveys. Princess IT is so bad
  9. I do gate check but checking it in is also possible. Regardless of which i do, I LOVE using an apple air tag so I am sure the chair is on the plane with me.
  10. Don't expect "sweet" iced tea. I noticed your location as Georgia and you may be used to the sweet variety of tea. There has been lemon on all the Princess cruises I have been on.
  11. I use a "fold and go" electric wheelchair. I have had mine for about 6 years and am well pleased. My husband is 6 ft 4 in and about 275 lbs. He bought his in the last year and is also pleased. They are easy to fold and FAA approved. You do have to remove the batteries and take them with you into the plane. You can google them and go to their web site for additional information. They have good videos. The chairs are not cheap but meet our needs.
  12. I do miss Matt O very much. I've never had a better cruise director.
  13. I have done that previously. I had to wait to make the reservation on EZ air until I was 330 days out from my return date. I have also flown in early using EZ air. I had to be careful to change the arrival/departure date.
  14. Mine weighs about 65 lbs with the battery in place, and 55 or so without it. I add some equipment to those totals (umbrella, jacket, collapsible step, etc.) which raises the total somewhat.
  15. I have sailed out of Southampton several times (4 or 5 times) on Princess using my electric wheelchair. I have no experience with Fred Olsen nor Newcastle. However, I have been pleased with how Princess handles access when we are at a docked port, regardless of the tidal surges. There are always attendants to assist and assure my safety as I use the joystick on my chair. Since I walk so poorly I no longer attempt tender ports as you must stand and manage steps.
