Princess and P&O have it in their contract £2m . Ambassador -cant see in the contract but they say they want to see a copy at embarkation though when we went last year I dont think they checked. They were a bit put out everyone just turned up ignoring the plea that they adhere to the given times and also wanted something filled in and signed that we had already filled in on line. This was at Liverpool so no real terminal. P&O "INSURANCE 32. It is a condition of the Contract that every Guest must have adequate and appropriate insurance." Princess INSURANCE 28 It is a condition of the Contract that every Passenger must have adequate and appropriate insurance. This must include cover for travel, cancellation and curtailment and full and valid medical cover for pre-existing medical conditions worldwide, or as a minimum, in the countries that the Passenger is due to visit and which must remain in force for the entire duration of the Package. The insurance policy(ies) must, as a minimum, include medical and repatriation coverage for not less than £2 million . . . . . . .

Our last cruise we were almost always docked at a commercial wharf and had to pay extra to for shuttles to even get to see the ports advertised. This was the Royal Princess which at around 3500 pax was a lot of shuttle buses and a lot of waiting in queues. Of course Princess really wanted us to go on overpriced tours.

We ( Uk citizen UK Passport) ent to Oz in March 2020 on a fated round Oz cruise with Princess. Cancelled after 5 days sailing due to Covid!! 651 visa was granted and used. "We have granted you a eVisitor (subclass 651) visa on 15 January 2020. Application status eVisitor (subclass 651): Granted Visa conditions 8115 - Business visitor activity 8201 - Maximum three months study 8527 - Tuberculosis free 8528 - No criminal convictions An explanation of each condition of this eVisitor (subclass 651) visa is provided below. You can check these conditions at any time by using the Visa Entitlement Verification Online (VEVO) service. The four-digit number presented next to each condition above is used in VEVO to identify each condition that applies to this eVisitor (subclass 651) visa. Visa duration and travel Date of grant 15 January 2020 Must not arrive after 15 January 2021 Length of stay 3 month(s) from the date of each arrival Travel Multiple entries" I suspect that you are saying this bit In order to sail, a guest must meet the requirements below. All documents must be original – no photocopies. Your name must match across documents. What if I had a name change? Passport Book AND Australian Electronic Travel Authority (ETA) All visitors are required to get an Australian ETA to travel to Australia. Passports must be valid at least 6 months after your cruise ends. Read more about passport requirements. .....means you need an ETA but if you continue on the Australia ETA link above you will see this Important information about the ETA All ETA-eligible passport holders must apply for an ETA using the Australian ETA app. For more information, see our Step by step guide. If you are unable to use the app, you can apply online through ImmiAccount for another visa that suits your needs. European passport holders may be eligible for an eVisitor (subclass 651) Australian citizens are ineligible to apply for an ETA, refer to Entering Australia. RCI are unlikely to be of help as they have indicated it is passengers responsibility. but having said that it is free to apply for a 651 type, you could get one then email RCI or a travel agent if used and ask if it is OK .

No Idea ! However date of travel , budget, number of pax , which airport which port, how much luggage;might help you get a more helpful reply? Maybe here can provide a trimmed down package. I have no connection to them and cannot recommend or otherwise. https://www.myholidays.com/travel/3-nights-4-days-london-tour-package/?utm_source=organic&utm_medium=google.com

There is a possibility of train strikes they have just called another one for a week starting 6 May If they dont get what they want they can call other strikes they have to give a fortnight notice.

Also if you are desperate and very patient you could start here https://boards.cruisecritic.com/forum/388-marella-cruises-formerly-thomson/page/226/ and work forward in time ie then go to page 225 then 224 and so on. Something else that might work and be quicker is when on that page press (if you are working on a computer) the ctrl key plus f key then in the box at the top that appears type in Eastern or passage then press enter and it will search that page for those words. then as before go to the previous pages and repeat - the find box may remain live but i always click "find" again.

Hi @Caramel bunny No idea LOL but here is a clue https://boards.cruisecritic.com/topic/1861445-eastern-passage-april-2014-cruise-amp-stay/ If you use the "@" query you could try and contact the posters on that link. To use it you slowly type @ then a timer will open and you start to type in their CC name when it appears in the dropdown box you click on the name and it should appear as your does above. There may be other threads but found that one by google ing Eastern Passage 2014

We used to use it from Birmingham to Soton then they changed the times so our train from Preston didnt get to Birmingham in time. It was fine and they even have decent luggage space. Having said that we still went the day before sailing so had to factor in the hotel and evening meals so worked out the similar price to the coach. Main drawback would have to be Rail Strikes if you book to get early fair they only need 2 weeks to call a strike and if that happens to hit your travel day its probably too late to get a coach. Though from manchester you could get national express?

Can I assume you have viewed the website ? if not I think this is maybe the one you are thinking of - I believe there are others, but I am not local to London. https://londonpass.com/en It is useful as it gives ideas to use a 1,2, or 3 day pass ( if you have the stamina !!) It also shows the entry fees for the attractions so you can decide if it is better value to do where you want separately or buy the pass. London can be tiring! From a quick look at Westminster Abbey and your specific question: https://londonpass.com/en/london-attractions/westminster-abbey Getting in Enter via the North Green, which runs between the Abbey and Broad Sanctuary. Before entering the Abbey, you will pass through security/bag check. On busy days, it might be necessary to continue queuing after security. Your passes will be scanned and validated at a ticket booth inside the Abbey and you will be issued with a paper ticket as proof of admission. Please note Pass customers do not need to pre-book but admission to the Abbey is always subject to availability. At busy times, you might be asked to wait for the next available time slot. For more information, please visit the Westminster Abbey website.

What does the Princess transfer say it does? - It is not too far from the coach station to any of the piers and there are taxis.

Are you flying in and sailing the same day? This https://www.royalcaribbean.com/gbr/en/faq/questions/online-checkin-boarding-pass-completion suggests you can check in on line on the website up until 48 hours before and that you will have had a notification when check in opens. Failing that you can check in using the app up until 1 hour before scheduled the sailing time. I am sure if you got to the dock 2 or 3 hours before sailing time someone would help with check in however you would need all the documentation with the info they require.

It does look very pedestrianised . What transport are you meeting? its a short walk to the light railway. https://www.google.com/maps/dir/Greenwich+Pier+Busy+passenger+dock+on+the+Thames/Greenwich+station,+London/@51.482682,-0.0111688,17z/am=t/data=!4m14!4m13!1m5!1m1!1s0x4876029ad044ade7:0x6a36bdd4214deb32!2m2!1d-0.009385!2d51.484028!1m5!1m1!1s0x48760288cae85867:0xbf14d505398fa51c!2m2!1d-0.013361!2d51.4780469!3e3?entry=ttu

I have seen several roll calls for cruises that are now being cancelled due to the problems In and around Israel and the Suez Canal. These Roll calls just seem to grind to a halt and are left - After a certain period could they not be cancelled? They are cluttering up the calendar when trying locate new cruises.

Hi @chris301up you seem to be following this thread rather than the other so hope this finds you. Having got transport to the ship sorted if you post which cruise you are on we may be able to point you to a "Roll Call" thread where, if it is well supported, you might get some useful tips on the places you visit.

Just as a further thought/warning the eavesway coaches have most of the seats up 4 or5 steps. They only have 2 seats downstairs and you would need to check if they are available before booking, if that would be a problem.
