5,000+ Club

5,000+ Club (4/15)

  1. Wonderful!! May I also add: Cicchetti (mini dishes similar to Spanish tapas, eaten at bàcaro (Venetian taverns) or bacari (standing bars).
  2. (In the meantime, if anyone reads this who has dealt with Alitalia via EZ Air and has any first hand experience with them, we'd love to hear about how it went.) We had an ITA E-Z AIR direct SFO-LHR flight about 6 months ago. I was able to book seats on the ITA website as soon as I booked E-Z Air (not ticketed). At that time I paid USD $39 pp for mid-cabin Economy Seats. There were also better location Economy seats more toward the front for USD $54 pp. When we boarded, I was glad I paid and booked seats because boarding groups for Economy was first group those who paid $54, then next group those who paid $39, and the last Economy large group that may have been those who waited for seats to be assigned free one day before flight date.
  3. Remember LAX requires an airport shuttle from terminal to where one gets UBER or Taxi unless one books Black UBER. Lots of info on LA cruise critic site. One can walk to the Taxi/Uber pick up point but it is cumbersome to walk with luggage. Google "LAXIT". Not sure where Princess Transfer has pick-up.
  4. Again, this has been old policy -- I like to order Vodka Negroni and the Bar always charged for 2 drinks!
  5. 1. I cannot imagine anyone being "fussy" about "Italian" food would want to eat Fettuccini Alfredo in any restaurant! Just my opinion. 2. Please let them know that the Maitre D' (or DORO) on Island P. is Italian so they need not worry.
  6. Cruise Departure: SFO to Pier 27: SF has moved Uber / LYFT (but not Taxis) to the "Uppermost" floor of the Parking Garage. So please ask at the Luggage Arrivals where to get the Elevators to go there. If you choose this option, it is best to call for Uber/LYFT "after" you arrive at the location where you get Uber/LYFT. Cruise Arrival: Pier 27 to SFO: My recommendation is to use a Princess Transfer if you are using EZ-Air. One can purchase the Transfer at the Excursion Desk. Otherwise, if you do not want a Princess Transfer, one has to be at a specific location after picking up your luggage where Uber/LYFT can pick you up.
  7. I assume you want specialty coffee. Also at Casino Bar Deck 6(less crowded -- you may see a sign at Good Spirit when it is crowded suggesting Casino Bar). Also at Amuleto inside Horizon Ct.
  8. We liked the Island. Our problem on ships that have the IC is that the Atrium has always been full with the Atrium chair hoggers! There is no where to sit.
  9. Yes to both KKB replies. But at the Amuleto Bar in the buffet (not the self serve). Also, early in the morning the Casino Bar has coffee and some pastries. The Casino Bar faces both the lobby and the Casino and there are couches in the lobby where one can also sit down. But remember like in all the ICs, unless one has one of the packages, there will a charge for the good coffee.
  10. Thank you. I used the Aus ETA Visa App over a year ago (when it was first introduced) -- will need to use it again next month (Nov). Hopefully the later upgrades have improved the App.
  11. When was the last time you applied for Aus ETA visa? I ONLY post when I have specific knowledge and have gone through the process.
  12. Sadly NO because it has to be done using the Aus ETA app. Laptops that I am familiar with cannot download the ETA app. And even if one is able to download the app, laptops cannot directly scan to the App. I generally use my iPad for many Apps eg. Princess Medallion App. But I was unsuccessful using iPad for the Aus ETA App. So I had to use DW's iPhone.
  13. As of last year, the inexpensive and immediate way for Australian ETA visa is by using a smart phone. I agree with you that the on-line way using a smart phone can be frustrating. One has to really look at those videos. All the steps are easy except the scan for "Reading The Passport eChip"-- even though I am tech savvy it was hit and miss even for me using an i-phone. Just keep at it or seek help from some friends!
