I'll need to create a WORD document with these. I assume WORD is OK to use :)

Ok, we have a cruise coming up in a month or so and will be in London pre-cruise for a few days. Can someone do a language translation? Add more as you think of differences.

Beefeaters = ?

Pint = glass?

Mash =

more please..

We will be staying pre cruise on Pepys Street, near the Tower of London. Can you suggest a few restaurants, casual & inexpensive, nearby? This would include dinner and breakfast.

Thanks everyone, sounds like a great stroll and maybe find a great place to eat.

We are touring London and the end point/drop off is the London Eye. I believe the drop off is around 5 PM in late August. Is it safe to walk back to out hotel? I know the distance is about 2.4 miles and that is not an issue for us, but more concerned about the safety. London Eye to Pepys Street

Sounds good to me, THANKS

Scriv, you mentioned you walked back down from the Funicular. What was the advantage of walking and was it difficult?

My guote request, 2 passengers, 2 bags, 2 carry-on for each trip.

Trip 1 Heathrow to London hotel

Trip 2 London hotel to Southampton cruise port

Trip 3 Southampton to Heathrow

All in pounds

I just got the same quote from both and Smith's was about 40 less.

Has anyone used Express Airport Transport recently? I was thinking about using them airport to London hotel then London hotel to Southampton cruise port and then finally the cruise port back to Heathrow

Can you tell me which Marriott as there are many?

Thanks, never thought to see if Princess transferred from somewhere else other than the airport. I'll have my TA check it out. Thanks again.

We are on the August 29th Norwegian Fjords Princess cruise and I have a question about a hotel in London. We arrive 2 days early and want to tour some highlights of London. 1) Any London tour suggestions? 2) We want to take the Princess transfer to the port, so is it better to stay near the Heathrow airport (hotel suggestion please), or stay closer to down town (hotel suggestion please) and take a taxi back to the airport to catch the transfer?

Using Hertz (at airport) for 7 AM to 4 PM, cost about $45 USD

Maybe, but need a backup just in case :)

I read somewhere, that I can't find now, that there are pay storage lockers near the car rental place at the Papeete airport. We will be renting a car after the 5:35 AM arrival on 10/9 to do the circle tour, but would most likely need to store the bags. Anyone know if the lockers are there (or elsewhere), size, and cost?

We are arriving on an early flight, 5:35 AM and wonder if you have suggests of thing to do until we can board the ship at noon-2 PM? Tour, rent a car....

Which cruise date did Princess change the itinerary?

They extended mine, but I was booking a cruise that was 6 months out at the time.

IF your on Moorea that day, leave the ship on Moorea and catch the ferry across to Tahiti. That will give you plenty of additional time.

How far or close is the ferry port on Moorea to where the Princess cruise ship docks on Moorea?

Remember, it is not the crews fault, it is we the people for being (Can't say it here) :)

Interesting. If a tour begins at the airport, where does your luggage go at that 8 AM time?

On the previous cruise the Pacific Princess docks at 7AM. On the same day, passengers for the next cruise arrive at 5:30 AM at the airport (PPT). If you get Princess transfers to the ship, I wonder what they do with you until you can board as I'm sure you can't board at 6:30AM? Any one had this experience?

Even if people are still in line for that flight?
