I disembarked Discovery Princess on April 15, my flight was also changed to an 11:05am departure from LAX.  I did the self-assist early walk-off.  We were delayed getting off the ship by about 30 minutes, disembarked promptly at 8:00am (vs 7:30). I immediately proceeded through the pier terminal and immigration, and then to the taxi stand located outside the terminal.  I waited less than 5 minutes for a cab, and arrived at LAX at 8:45am.  I would only suggest doing this if you can do the early walk-off option.

Thank you!

My flight & cruise is next week.  With so many canceled flights lately, I’m keeping my fingers crossed.  But, in case my flight would be canceled, I’m trying to understand who I should call to quickly try for another flight.

I booked my flight thru Princess EZ Air.  Just wondering, if my flight gets canceled, do I call Princess or the airline directly?   I’d want to find another flight asap and think it would be faster to utilize the airline’s website/app to secure a flight, but wonder if I’ll need to work directly with Princess.  Thanks.

We typically pack light and do the walk-off option on disembarkation day.  What is the taxi situation at the Vancouver port, any issue with catching an early cab after getting off the ship?

We have a late flight that arrives Anchorage around 2:00am.  Later that morning, we are taking the 9:45am train from Anchorage to Whittier to board the ship.  So, we have a short window between arriving the airport and getting on the train.  Should we book a hotel, knowing at best we could only sleep a few hours, or hang around the airport and then perhaps leave for the train station a few hours before the train leaves, or, does anyone have any other ideas?  Note, we are flying cross country, thus the late arrival into Anchorage is unavoidable.  Thanks for any ideas.

Wondering if we can carry on the ship our airline-checked bag? We have done this frequently when embarking in US ports, thus avoiding waiting for our luggage to be delivered to our cabin. Thanks.

While cruising in Europe, can I buy a bottle of wine while in port and bring onboard the ship to enjoy that evening? (I'm not asking about bringing on when initially embarking the ship, but wondering if I can bring on a bottle purchased at a different port)? Thanks.

Excellent idea to donate to charity, that’s what we’ll do.

I'm concerned we will not have time to locate the Bank of England. Wondering if we could use the "old" money for tips for housekeeping at our hotel? I realize the person would then need to covert themselves into the new currency, but we'd leave a generous tip, due to the inconvenience.

Wondering what the Sanctuary is like on the Sapphire Princess? We've utilized the Sanctuary on the Royal and Regal, wondering how the Sapphire compares. Also, can we book in advance?

Does this ship have on-demand TV (like Royal Princess and Regal)?

wondering if Celebrity Constellation offers daily Friends of Bill W (AA) meetings?

Can someone please tell me: (1) does this ship offer Coke or Pepsi products, (2) on-demand TV in the staterooms, and (3) what News channels are available in the cabins, CNN, ESPN, CNBC, MSNBC, others? Are there on-demand movies and/or TV shows available? Thanks.

We typically cruise on Princess, but are considering Celebrity. Wondering if Celebrity offers self-service laundry facilities onboard, vs having to send out laundry (and thus risk shrinking, etc). Also, does Celebrity offer anytime dining? Thanks.

Wondering is the ship infirmary has Tamaflu available for those passengers who may come down with the flu during their trip?

Wondering if the Royal has the medallions yet, or if anyone knows when they will be installed?

Is the Brooklyn Pier Terminal at Pier 12 the same as the Red Hook Terminal? Thanks.

Does the Majestic Princess offer on-demand TV (like the Regal & Royal)? Thanks.

We used Smith's for transport from London Heathrow to Southampton and found them very professional, reliable and competitively priced. We would use them again.

We're booked for a Transatlantic cuisine, Southampton-New York. We are considering adding on a few days in another city pre-cruise, then flying from there to London (to get on the ship in Southampton), and flying home from NY. Wondering if we could utilize Princess EZ Air for multiple cities this way?

We are just off the Emerald Princess (June 4). We carried/"rolled" on our bags, which were at least 24-26" - absolutely no problem with our bags easily fitting thru the scanners at the port.

Does anyone know what Princess production shows are currently on the Emerald Princess? Also, are they offering the "Princess Voice" on this ship? Thanks.

We were also on the TA, the Cruise Director explained that one of the lead singers needed emergency surgery and had to remain in a hospital in Italy. We were told the production shows require four lead singers, Princess is unable to do the production shows with three singers. Fortunately, Princess was able to secure other talent in place of the production shows. We thought the other shows were pretty good, especially the vocalists. The ventriloquist and comedian were both pretty lame though, and we noted that in our survey.
