Cool Cruiser

Cool Cruiser (2/15)

  1. I agree the snorkeling at the GBR was fantastic and by the way, your pics are great. The only place we have snorkeled that was better was The Red Sea.
  2. Thanks for posting the sail-in to Sydney harbour.... have done it a couple of times and it is one of my favourite sail-in harbours. -
  3. If they still are around, visit the food trucks just as you exit the ship and then head to one of the nearby bars. There is a name for the food truck which is escaping me right now but it was a fun way to spend an evening plus try some local foods.
  4. Sorry to hear you had rain for your Bora Bora day, even so it really is a beautiful place and a definite return spot. Hope you have better weather for Moorea.
  5. You have given some superb choices for the probable changes, if need be. All these choices especially the ones before Cape Town are ports I would definitely enjoy a second time around. The approach in early morning into Cape Town with the 'tablecloth' lifting is as impressive as Sydney in a different way. Thank you to Steve & Debby and Eddie& Denise for the blogs.
  6. Navy Veteran has given a very good explanation of how to handle any dietary concerns. I have had over 50 cruises with Princess and have never had a problem being looked after by the Head Waiter. They will go out of their way to assist with any necessary changes. We usually eat in the same dining room but often have different wait staff and this is never a problem. For the Specialty dining room, I always go the day before to look at the menu & speak with the Head Waiter. Enjoy your cruise!
  7. ON the island now... this is Day 4of our cruise: 1. We have plus package, have found we can up scale beverages & pay the difference & have done this with wines, have only used Crooners & Good Spirits bars so far. 2. Juices - up in buffet I am told but haven't been there yet, can order on app 3. As far as I know only Swirls for premium desserts, but due to food allergies won't be having these. 4.Call dine line right after boarding and ask to be added to the list. Chef's Table has been excellent any time we have eaten there. Haven't eaten at Bayou yet. Main dining room reservation system doesn't work well for the first few night, now it is day 4 & last night finally showed improvement. * all staff we have dealt with are friendly & hard working.
  8. We stayed at the Riverside in March and were happy with the location and have booked it again for our stay before our Late May sailing.
  9. Will be following along as we will cruising on the Sky early next year.
  10. We did the cruise/land tour several years ago. Cruised NZ to Sydney and then land was Cairns/Alice Springs/Sydney. I don't remember the airline,but they were small planes & luggage weigh allowance was small. The luggage check in, retrieval & delivery to porters was as Princess Cruises Fann described as was the group size. The guide we had was excellent. Our large luggage from the ship was stored at the hotel where we stayed on our return to Sydney.
  11. QC - Old Town, - Chateau Frontanac, - Ste.Anne de Beaupre, - there are waterfalls (can't remember the name) a short 1/2 hour drive away SAGUENAY - HoHo bus, - there is also a theatre performance,book through the cruise line ( can't remember the name of it) PEI - Anne of Green Gables home SYDNEY - Alexander Graham Bell homestead,- Cabot Trail HALIFAX - Peggy's Cove, -Pier 22, -the Citadel, - eat at Salty's or The Bicycle Thief (on the boardwalk) BOSTON - walk the Freedom Trail,- HoHo bus
  12. Loved reliving Dubai through your great photos! Dubai is one of my all time favourite ports. We flew in 5 days before boarding our cruise there.
