  1. Hi, Who knows which brand of shower gel Princess Cruises uses? In tender ports, is the order first come first served or is there some kind of ticket system in use and if so, in what order are the tickets distributed? Is it possible to eat more than one main course in MDR, for example lobster at dinner, or is there a charge?
  2. Yes, all of these offer day rooms. I agree with you, downtown is better than near the airport. What you think between Jurys Inn and Novotel (or Holiday Inn)? Although I have cruised a lot, my last cruise with Princess was 31 years ago, it is interesting to see how the cruise line has changed during this time (I still have the old menus etc.)...
  3. There are 3 of us and 6 suitcases, so a taxi would be better. I see you live in England, Can you perhaps suggest some of these hotels for the day; Jurys Inn (ex Leonardo), Novotel Southampton or Premier Inn Southampton Airport?
  4. At 5pm so we will take one day room that day. The reason why we fly from Southampton is that I got almost -50% compared to Heathrow/Gatwick prices 😉
  5. Thanks for your help! We will fly with KLM from Southampton to Helsinki via Amsterdam. There will be 6 cruise ships that day; Sky Princess/Iona (P&O Cruises)/Celebrity Silhouette/MSC Virtuosa/MSC Grandiosa/Mein Schiff 3 (TUI) so busy day...
  6. Hi, I have a few questions regarding the Sky Princess both on board and after the cruise in Southampton. Who could help? In the deluxe balcony DW cabin, when there are three adults in the cabin, is the balcony accessible and can the minibar be opened? Is it true that there are only 2 production shows on a two week cruise on Princess? Can you go to the MDR with your own wine glass (wine bottle brought on board in Southampton)? Is there still a Chocolate Breakfast buffet on the morning of the second (or last) sea day on the two-week cruise? Does Princess charge for another lobster during lobster dinner, as some cruise lines do? The ship arrives in Southampton at 07am, I guess that you must leave your cabin by 8am and disembarkation will be at 07.30am - 09am? But what time is the breakfast at MDR and buffet that morning? I saw that on the turn-around day in Southampton there are a total of six cruise ships, or 50,000+ passengers, how to get a taxi; must be a bit challenging, we will fly out from Southampton´s airport?
  7. Hi, may someone, please, help me. I got my Captain´s Circle number 1992 after my Star Princess cruise but now Princess does not honor my cruise for my coming June cruise so I could get my gold status. I have sent several email to captaincircle (att)princesscruises(dot)com but no any reply. What I could do? Is there any other email address? Also "contact us" on my cruise reservation page do not work at all. I have all my proofs of that cruise.
  8. Thanks for your reply, my ports of calls will be Bergen, Flåm, Olden and Ålesund. My friend was in Norway in 2000, and she will be my "local" guide.
  9. Hi, My last cruise on Princess was 31 years ago, naturally many things have changed during this time. Does anyone know if Princess has a free shuttle service in Norway and if so in which ports or if it is with extra charge and how much?
  10. As a Finnish my vote will go to Carnival and Bergen. You can look also Sky Princess from Southampton next June with Norway and Iceland 😀
  11. Hi where I could find Star Princess´ship model 1992?
  12. Yes cruise prices have gone up. I personally got the June Norway & Iceland cruise for almost half the price by buying it in Germany and not, for example, the USA. It's interesting to see how the cruise line in question has changed, the last time I sailed with them was in 1992. When I read the old menus, the gala evening at that time had caviar, pheasant, beef Wellington and Maine lobster. I know that many of these are not on the lists, for cost savings, and the cruise lline in question was not even a luxury cruise line...
  13. Hi all, How could you help me with Medallion's emergency return airport issue? I try to enter the nearest international airport, and the app says that "the airport in question does not correspond to my area of residence", so the app does not allow me to do that. What to do, the airport in question (one and only too) is less than an hour's drive from my home, but is in a different province here in Finland.
  14. Hi, can anyone recommend some car rental companies in Akureyri and Reykjavik, not at the airport, preferably at or near the cruise port? Is it worth renting a car in Isafjordur?
  15. Hi, Does someone have any information about E333 vs E334 (Emerald deck) cabins on board Sky Princess about balcony views for life boat? Also I am looking some information about sofa bed for 3. person and if the sofa bed is open do you have any access to the balcony?
  16. Celebrity will use Hernesaari, its about 4 km from Kauppatori/Market Square.
  17. Hi, I am planning a cruise to Iceland in the summer. Has anyone rented a car in Akureyri and Reykjavik and what possible tips could you give? I'm not looking for tourist destinations like the Blue Lagoon, but something else entirely.
  18. Hi, I have been thinking about Sky Princess' Norway and Iceland cruise in the summer. The last time I cruised on Princess was 1992 on Star Princess in the Black Sea. Does Princess still have cabin cleaning twice a day? Is the buffet coffee etc. free 24 hours a day? What drinks does it include (ice tea?)? Can I take one bottle of wine per person on board the ship? Is it possible to post a gala dinner menu and a list of cabin service breakfasts, etc.? What is the cheapest way to travel to Southampton from London?
  19. In 2019, I did a 2-month cruise from Los Angles to Dubai, only changing ships in Singapore. During that time, I also organized several private tours, where we went to destinations that the ship's excursions do not go to. People really enjoy those special tours. I personally enjoy long cruises and exotic destinations. Now my eyes are on Greenland and Iceland. And if this trip comes, I will organize also some special tours again 😉
  20. Who has personal experience of Queen Victoria's new single outside cabin (KC), what kind of noise they, if any, they have from the Empire Casino on deck 2? I am planning World Cruise 2021 with QV as a solo pax., and I would like to know what type of cabins these are.
