We just returned from the Discovery Alaska cruise and felt disappointed with the over all quality. The ship itself was wonderful, no complaints there.  The extra things that make princess special were lacking. No mints at turn down, no tote bags on first land day, no snacks at bar to name just a few.  Madallion was great for unlocking door but otherwise useless because of poor wifi. No special lotions in bathroom for elite.  Food quality was not up to snuff.   This was our first princess cruise since Covid and we don’t like the changes. Has anyone else felt this way?

My son and his family just got back from the December 26 sailing on the valor. His wife and two young children came back with blistering rashes from the hot tubs requiring medical attention. Beware. 

What weather should I expect in New Zealand in February 

We are going on a 15 day cruise and are wondering if our bar set is the same as a seven day set up. 

We just received an upgrade from balcony to mini suite for our Hawaii cruise March 2019. Lucky ducks.

Went on Star last August and loved her. We did land first and southbound cruise.

I did laundry on the first day of cruise with no wait for machines. Very easy to do using cruise card to obtain coins.

I just did a large load and it was 7.50 for detergent,washer and dryer on the Star

We revived an email that our HI cruise on the Ruby is sailing March 24 2019 instead of March 26. $15.00 OBC. They will adjust booking by July 15. I tried to book for our friends to join us and it wasn't there. Hope to see it on the 15 th. Must be a mess for their computer team.

We loved the Hotel Jazz. Great food on rooftop. Close to everything. Clean.

Could you double check my email. I didn't receive anything. Sycdog1@aol.com. Thanks.

What are the advantages of booking a cruise while on a cruise? We are sailing Alaska this August and want to book Hawaii for 2019. If the sip and sail is being offered at that time will it apply to a cruise booked while on board?

Would love to see them. Sycdog1@aol.com

Thanks.

What is your favorite Princess ship and why. Any not too special? Does anyone know which are the oldest and newest?

I called Princess and they put me on a 1:50 non stop. Thanks for advice.

i checked with the airline and my flight departs Vacouver at 10:30 now instead of 11:30. Will that be enough time to get to airport? We have Princess transfers.

I'd say they are both pretty equal.

We are doing the Voyage Of The Glaciers Southbound in August. When are formal nights? I want to book specialty restaurants to avoid formal wear.

i was wondering if the sip and sail package is offered on 15 day Hawaii cruise. We took advantage the past two summers to book when the sale was going on but that was for 7 day cruises.

We loved our mini suite under the sea view bar. The balcony was larger than regular mini suite.

I would like information on shore excursions for bear watching for Juneau, Skagway and Ketichcan. Any recommendations? We are going August 2017.

We loved Hotel Jazz. The roof top bar/restaurant was wonderful. Great location.

We brought extension cord and plugged it in at desk.

Can't wait for your review. We are going to Alaska next summer. I so enjoyed your review last year on the Emerald. Stayed in the same hotel in Rome. It was perfect. Thanks for all your great information.

I noticed on the Royal the partition can be opened.
