Ship: Royal Princess Class: ? Deck: Emerald 8 Cabin #: E115 Category: Deluxe Balcony - (HA!) Port/Starboard/Bow/Stern: Starboard Bow Connects With Cabin #: N/A Accessible: No Quiet: In rough seas it sounded like explosions when the bow was hitting the swell. Balcony Size: This was pathetic. There was not enough room between front of chair and the balcony to fit your feet. See picture . . . View: Unobstructed Privacy Issues: None Wind: No issues that you wouldn't get anywhere Soot: None Problems: No problems that we had to report. Thermostat was hit and miss. Comments: Worst bed we've ever slept on. It was so soft you couldn't roll over without sitting up or getting out of bed. It was more comfortable to take the sofa mattress out and lay that on the floor. Cabin size was OK, Fridge didn't work, large hanging space with no doors. Very small bathroom. The lights that came on automatically at night when they detected movement were a pain. Stick your leg or arm out of the sheets at night and light would come on. Ended up putting a cushion in front of it. There is nothing special about this deluxe cabin.

Thanks for your insight.It's much appreciated.

Thanks for that excellent information! I'm "downunder" and the price is about AUD$38 per day for a whole voyage package, which implies an exchange rate of about $0.65 which sounds about right. But in any case, it should be safe to assume the single day surcharge will be the same at 20%. We just got off the Queen Elizabeth and they sold discounted internet packages prior to sailing. Do Princess offer discounted packs?

On the app I can only select an internet option for the entire voyage. Once on board is it possible to buy at a day rate (for specific days only?)

I thought it might be risky cancelling online so I rang them first. They said it wouldn't be a problem and I could on it myself online or give her the card details and she could do over the phone. I had the refund for the original amount hit my account before I was debited for the special price. Great service!

G'day, The Valentine's Internet offer is being advertised in Australia at a 28% discount. When I first booked, I got a 16% early bird special. The new 28% discount and pricing would apply to the original undiscounted price.

Thanks all. I'll give a definitive answer to my own question. YES. I cancelled the US$210 internet package and re-ordered at US$180 Valentines Day special price without any issues. The credit went back to the card I used to purchase the original package. It looks like this would have applied to some shore excursions as well, but the one we booked had been sold out.

Hi, I paid for an internet package when I first booked our cruise but now there is a Valentines day special offered on My Cunard that is US$30 cheaper than what I paid. Can I cancel the original and reorder at the special price?

Sorry about that, I missed the TA bit!

I don't know if it's different 'down under' but the formal nights are held on sea days. I guess if the second and sixth days were port days, the formal nights would be moved. If you log in to My Cunard and check your calendar you will find the Formal nights listed. Regards Brian

G'day, From the Cunard site. "At least twice on each seven-night voyage we'll host a Gala Evening, where we do ask that you observe an elevated dress code" These are held on sea days and may involve a theme, e.g. Black & White, Masked Ball, 1920's, favourite Start Trek character, etc. I may have made up that last one 🙂
