Which pier does Princess use for Quebec City?
vickie_bernie replied to Jetswdo's topic in Princess Cruises
Princess uses wharf 30. Not as good as the pier right by the lower gown. Here is a mapnto help. Princess did offer a shuttle but it doesn't help much, you can take taxis, and uber to it. I was the Destination Expert last year on the Caribbean for the entire season. -
Yee us too with laundry, put it in last night. It was here in the cabin tonight. Excellent. We also washed some items in the laundry and the machine ate a coin so we paid twice. Went to guest services and they were great, gave us two tokens. We said it ate only one and they said that is ok, you were nice so here is two.

Found out today there a few hundred workers doing jobs around the ship especially jobs that are out of site of passengers. Some from head office too. They would all be given a blue card. Even when I am working as a guest entertainer I get a blue card and every cruise it is blue. Even though as a passenger, as I am this voyage, I have almost 1000 days.

First New England Voyage of 2023 Observations/Caribbean Princess

glad you got a lobster roll sandwich and that is a very good price even in the Maritimes. I am glad you enjoyed your stop in Saint John. I am guessing you did not go to St. John's as it is in Newfoundland. A common mistake that even many Canadians make. Enjoy. -
I would not recommend. Port is 1,5 hrs away from airport with ideal conditions. It is an industrial pier and everyone must take the shuttle from the ship to the pier building, There is no option for self disembarkation with all your bags, unless all you have is a carryon. Everyone needs to out bags out the night prior. This season the Sapphire usually docked around 7 am. Once cleared of customs first guests got off around 730. Give yourself a half hour to get off and take shuttle and get bags, another half hour to clear customs and get into transportation make sure you have your own transportation so you aren'twaiting for others. 1.5 hrs to Santiago. That puts you at airport 10. And that is if everything works perfectly, which I rarely does. Book later flight for peace of mind,

Yeah we made it to the Horn Island. Princess only does a scenic cruising to the eastern side of Horn Island. We Could see the lighthouse and the albatross memorial Monument. It was surprisingly clear, because as we approached it was cloudy and visibility was low. But mother nature surprised us and lifted. In our six trips this winter down to the Horn we have only been able to stop and view 3 times, the last 3. It is 330 am an we are currently at Port William picking up the pilots for Ushuaia. Vickie
