Thanks again for all your help. Hers is very new. I will forward this information to my grandson so they know. I have no experience with a CPAP at all so this is all new to me. I just remember taking my hair dryer and curling iron to Europe and the Orient many years ago and needed the proper plug adapters but they always had the option to switch between voltages. But then I'm 75. Heck, I remember on our first cruise on Sitmar, they had rooms down the hall that had hair dryers in them as you couldn't plug in your own in the cabin. Only shaver outlets. So all the ladies would be walking down the passageways with wet hair going to the hair drying room! I just love all these modern conveniences of today!

@Rick&JeannieThanks so much for this info. My grandson and his wife live in TN and I live in CA so I have never seen her unit. I told my grandson that I thought that it should be indicated on the machine if it is able to operate safely on both voltages. He is going to check it and if necessary call the company. I think it should have a "switch" for either voltage but "what do I know" LOL. I will pass this info on to him. Thanks again. So appreciate you taking the time to respond.

@Rick&JeannieDo you need a voltage adapter with this plug that you use for the CPAP? It is my granddaughter in law that uses the CPAP so I'm not familiar with the setup. Do most CPAP machines have dual voltage? Thank you.

@Dive Master& @omeinvThank you so much for your prompt replies. I will tell him about the EMT shears. Very much appreciated.

@wolft927Can you tell me approximately how much the jet ski rentals are at Paradise Beach and did you notice if there was a weight limit? We will have some pretty big guys in our party. We haven't been there in many years and they did not have the jet ski rentals when we were there. Thanks for the information.

My adult grandson wants to dive in Roatan when we are there. He will be bringing his own fins and mask and when he dives in the US he usually carries a dive knife just in case of an emergency, he is a trained rescue and recovery diver. Have any of you carried a dive knife onboard the ship and were you able to take it and bring it back to the ship through the security at the port in Roatan? The ship policy states that he can bring it onboard but it must be checked with security and then checked out when he goes diving. If you have ever done this, how has it worked? Is it a hassle? Thank you for any info you can give me.

Majestic Pacific Adventure ex Sydney with Jenn
DavidsNana replied to TrixieBel's topic in Princess Cruises
Loving your thread and the pictures. Thank you very much. -
@lifes-a-beachThanks for your firsthand assessment. It is much appreciated. Walking is no problem for me. I'm 75 but walk all the time and do an aerobic class (not a seniors class but an all ages one) 5-7 days a week. I have been looking forward to seeing Lamanai for quite some time so sounds like it is a go for me. And yes I saw your recommendation for the Deep Woods Off Wipes and couldn't find them around my area so ordered them. My cruise is on 2/25. Thanks again.
-
@lifes-a-beachOn the Princess excursion website in the tour reviews section, someone posted that their step counter said that they walked 7 miles on the excursion to Lamanai. That is not what the tour description section says. Based on your firsthand experience, is it really 7 miles worth of walking involved? Thank you.

@sallywizHi, I might have a suggestion for your friend. If she has more than one flight segment to get to the port, is she entering each of those separately or is she trying to just put the beginning city of her trip and the ending port city? I have found that when entering my private flights I must put in each flight segment separately or it does not recognize any of the information. Just a thought. I made that mistake the first time I tried to complete the info. Hope you figure it out for them.

Princess.com login is having technical problems.
DavidsNana replied to brisalta's topic in Princess Cruises
I've been having problems with getting the excursion pages to load for the last few days now. Just get a white page but find that if I let it sit there for a few minutes they are loading but it definitely takes awhile. I also found that some of the excursions for my upcoming cruises show one price on the main page and when you click on the specific excursion, the price is higher. -
@We_like_to_cruiseBefore this thread gets too long, I just want to thank you so much for your reports and pictures of everything. A World Cruise has always been my fantasy but alas it is not in the cards anymore. So I am going to do this vicariously through you guys! Have a wonderful cruise and time seeing the world that you haven't already seen.

When we were in Ocho Rios last March, I made a call to San Diego, CA from our cabin on the Caribbean Princess and I am Spectrum. It switched to the Jamaica phone system and the call went right through and was very clear. I was on the phone for about 3-4 minutes and it only cost me 39 cents. I was very surprised it wasn't more.

@HBCcruiserYou are right, those towel animals are fantastic. I've never seen them like that either. Sailing with my son and his gal friend in Feb on the Sky she has never been on any cruise. I hope we have a great steward like yours and I can get them to slip a few towel animals in their cabin. Thanks for your great pics and report. Much appreciated.

RESERVED THEATRE SEATING WITH THE NEW PACKAGES
DavidsNana replied to CRUISE4TWO's topic in Princess Cruises
I burst out laughing when I read this. Totally showing my age since I had no trouble getting this!! Too funny. -
@Itchy&ScratchyThanks so much for the detailed information on the Crowne Plaza. Very much appreciated. I also read the review of the bed bug and was pretty freaked out too! I have IHG points so am considering this hotel. Thanks again. Glad that the rest of your stay was fine after the shuttle fiasco.
-
Looking for a hotel for night before cruise 24 Feb. Other than the shuttle problem, how was the hotel? Was it clean and were beds comfortable? Thank you.

On the excursions page it says that two additional people can be added for an additional charge. But does not say how much. Your best bet would be to continue to check to see if anyone cancels and you can grab the additional cabana. If that doesn't happen, I would go directly to the shore excursion desk upon boarding and explain the situation and hopefully they can do something for you. The only time I have booked a cabana there were only 4 of us. Maybe someone else has had this situation and will have the answer. Good luck.

Bodden tours - Fun-n-Sun - Holding a sloth bucket list! My video
DavidsNana replied to ABQrobin's topic in Roatan
Thank you so much for this video. May I ask you if your tour was a private tour with only the two of you or were you in a group? Stopping at Roatan twice next year and am looking at tours to do. Other times we have been there, we just went to the beach. I have been looking at Bodden tours on their website. Thank you. -
Thanks for the firsthand report. Hope some of the short comings are rectified before we sail on her 4-1-2023. Mainly the staffing. If staffing is up to par, then the other things will probably fall into place as they should be. My son and I were on her late Feb-early March this year and everything was wonderful but we only had 1400 passengers on board. I love the Caribbean Princess for the layout, larger balconies than the newer ships and the wide promenade. Thanks again.

7 Day Western Caribbean Port Times (Ship Time or Local Time?)
DavidsNana replied to Lilsleepyme's topic in Princess Cruises
@LilsleepymeOh man the info that you have provided is above and beyond anything that I could have hoped for. Thank you so much. I am printing this off for my grandson who is the one who will be diving and I'm pretty sure that he will select Roatan Divers since you say it was the best of the sites and operators. He says that he is only going to dive at one port this cruise as he wants to spend more time with me. I live in CA and he lives in TN and we don't get to see each other very often as he works long hours plus his volunteer time with the fire department. But if he does decide to do more than the one port, then based on your firsthand experience, I'm guessing he will choose the operator in Belize. We will be doing these ports aboard the Caribbean Princess April 1st. Also, glad that you had a wonderful time aboard the Sky Princess. My son, his lady and I will be sailing the same itinerary aboard the Sky Princess on Feb 25th. While this will be my 27th cruise with Princess, I have never been aboard the Sky nor any other of the ships in it' class. So, I am very excited to see my son after a year and meet his lady for the first time in addition to being able to sail on a new ship. The cruise April 1st with my grandson and his wife will be her first ever cruise but will be my 5th time on the Caribbean Princess. In fact, it is the same ship that my late husband and I took my grandson on when he was a little kid in 2005. Thank you again for all this wonderfully detailed information. My grandson will be thrilled when I read it to him on the phone today. -
OK I guess I wasn't clear. There seems to be no way to reserve the umbrellas versus the loungers with clamshells on the cruise line's excursion booking platform. So I thought that someone who has been there recently, might know how it works. Last time I was there in 2019 there were only the loungers, loungers with clamshells and the bungalows.
