Hope the Liquor stores don't take a Holiday today. We board tomm for a 10day Queensland cruise on Easter Sunday.

We used Uber to get to our hotel in Darling Harbor. Short walk after leaving arrivals hall and good signage leading you there.

Mahalo for the tip. Handed the picture I had to the customs agent and she said "Oh I thought you very declaring this picture". Bags scanned, nothing opened very easy.

We leave tomm night as we sail on the 10day before this one. We preselected the Spicy Chicken Curry for the flight. Will let you know if we made the right choice.

We leave tomm night to start our trip on the 31st for a 10day Queensland Cruise prior to the 30day to Vancouver. My wife looked up some of the entertainment and she mentioned Fiero,Fantastic Journey,and Encore as the production shows. Too lazy to look ahead on the next voyage.

Go down a few posts to Tropical Tours Samoa By YoPhilly, February 11 We spent a day with Trudy and Jimmy Dwyer. Excellent day and great people.

We'll be on the Majestic for 40 days starting Sunday. We chose the Symphony dining room as it's the one we had on both the Royal and Regal. The Concerto dining room is where the Reserve Class have their tables so that limits the amount of regular dining tables. The Allegro dining room is at the rear of the ship and only accessible by elevator or stairs. Can be a pain. Always had friendly wait staff no matter what dining room or ship we've been on. I'll check back and report on the Majestic.

60 days. I prefer to book myself online rather than have my agent do it. I do use a big TA so I feel I can do a better job getting what I want right away. He then takes my booking and either re-fares it to his agency price or adds on extras. I find it's easier to contact my agent or the agencies help desk that talk to a Princess res person who's usually clueless.

We got the email on the 13th that our Medallions were being shipped out of Carson. We got them at our Long Beach house on the 16th.

Earlier I decided to take the nuts along with a low sugar snack my wife likes and took pictures of them and made sure they were in a convenient place in one case for inspection. Good to hear it might be well received.

My Mom always liked the twin bed set up as she could afternoon nap in one bed and still have a clean made bed for nightime.

We are doing Singapore to Los Angeles in October of this year. For you though, our 9 days at sea between Tokyo and Honolulu would seem like Maximum security prison.😀 We look at it as only 1 15hr plane trip. We are still scheduled for Lahaina but know that's not going to happen. Pride is in Kahalui so I'm hoping for Nawiliwili. The Coral could fit.

Mahalo for all the replies. Eat a lot of those at home also. Looking specifically for Turkish pistachios which are smaller and tastier. I'll have to check Coles if I decide not to bring them.

I really like my Turkish Pistachio nuts and get them from a company online, Nuts on the net. However I hate customs issues more than anything. I planned on bringing a 5lb bag ( 40 day cruise) of roasted, salted in the shell nuts, sealed from the dealer. I've read different views and trying to make up my mind. If I decide to not pack them, I would declare them, any good recommendations on where I might buy some in the Sydney CBD. Mahalo

Amazon bag of 180 Halls already in suitcase for upcoming cruise. I could make a fortune at $5 for 10😀

Pool Bar if Rollie, Yu and Richard are there.

We were on that cruise, the only reason we stopped was to reprovision. The port area got over run very quickly.

We got the email for our March 31st cruise medallion shipping on the 13th and got them at our Long Beach place on the 16th. Must've been lucky.

From my email that sad it was shipped, till delivery was 3 days. Ours left Carson, to Los Angeles sorting facility to delivery on a Saturday night in Long Beach.

16 day R/T from LA to Alaska in Aug 2025. Hope she is still around, we have our Favorite Emerald Deck Mini.

The few emails I've mass sent to Princess higher ups that have been acted on have been all from Princess Support team reps. I've called them back and have 2 that I now call for "help" when I need it. I've had a couple very positive results from skipping the emails and calling one of the reps directly. Good contact to have.

We were on a B2B where we had the "enhanced or new" $60 a day and on the other the old $50 a day Plus. On the second, we only activated my wifes and used it to order food and drinks. We were only charged one $14.99 fee.

We always have gotten a table for 2 but you have to be realistic. Can you get 2 lounge chairs poolside at 11am on a Feb carib cruise. Same for dining room. Early dining is 5-5;20 and those tables don't turn until around 6:40. I always talk to the Head Waiter or Maitre D, tell them what we'd like table wise and be open to basically 1st or 2nd seating.

I've had to replace a battery on a 14 day B2B, but didn't have to on a 28 day or a 26 day B2B. What's the longest you've had one last?

Got our email 17 days before sailing. This is going to be great from what I've read on another thread. We had our Medallions shipped to our place in Long Beach and it says they shipped from Carson. It's about a 10 minute drive to Carson for us. Can't wait to see what route it takes.
