Does anyone know if Princess will be offering discounts on excursions as part of the Black Friday sale.  Many of the other cruise lines are offering the discounts.

Has anyone done the Honolulu to Tahiti cruise in either August or Sept.?  How was the weather and the seas?  Was it too warm or rainy?  We are considering doing either this cruise or the Papeete to Papeete cruise.  Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated.

We will be on the cruise in October and staying at the Intercontinental in Yokohama.  Hotel looks very nice and the rate was great.

Hi Everyone,

We were wondering if there is a standard time that the evening shows are usually held.  We are trying to figure out the best time to make our advanced dinner reservations and did not want them to interrupt with dinner.  We were hoping for dinner around 7:00 or so but wanted to make sure that the late show would work well with that time.

We will be on the Caribbean Princess, Canada to New England cruise on 8/5/22.

Thanks,

Steve

Is the Rapid NAAT test offered by Walgreens accepted by Royal Caribbean?  I know that they accept the Rapid Antigen test that CVS used to offer but it doesn't appear to be available any longer.

Does RCCL accept the results form a NAAT Rapid covid test?  Walgreens seems to take these vs. the Rapid Antigen Test.

Thanks for your input,

Steve

Hi Everyone,

Does anyone know if you can get investor OBC if you are booked under a casino discounted rate?  

We are excited that Princess decided to do the ten day French Polynesia cruise in late 2021/early 2022.  Our only concern about booking this cruise (we were originally booked on the October 25, 2020 cruise that was cancelled) is that the weather that time of year is supposedly very rainy and humid.  Does anyone have any experience visiting the area that time of year?  That is the only thing holding us back from rebooking the cruise.  Also, is there any difference between December, January, and February weather?

We were originally booked to go on the Pacific Princess in October 2020 but the cruise was cancelled.  Princess announced today that they will be cruising in late 2021 and early 2022.  Is the weather really rainy and humid then?  We were thinking of possibly taking the New Year's Eve cruise.  We don't want to get stuck with bad weather though.  Your thoughts???

We are planning on spending a day in Vancouver after getting off of our cruise in May prior to having to go to the airport for an 8:00 PM flight.  Any ideas on where we could leave our luggage for the day?  Does the HOHO bus stop near the cruise port?  Any suggestions?

How far is the port in Papette to the airport?  We may need to leave our cruise the night before it ends due to flight availability and wondered how far is the airport from where the ship docks and what is the best way to get to the airport? Are there cabs generally available at the pier?   Any idea on what the cost would be?

I understand that the Millenium is going into drydock shortly.  Does anyone know what improvements are scheduled to take place?

Steve

How did you get from the port to Tokyo?  There are six of us and we were thinking that it may be better to take a taxi.  Does anyone know what the estimated fare should be and if we should book in advance?

Thanks,

Steve

Many of the other cruise lines offer additional onboard credit to those that own 100 shares or more of their stock. Does NCL also offer this? If so, what needs to be done to receive the onboard credit?

We recently returned from a cruise that started in Singapore. We stayed at the Pan Pacific on Raffles Road. It was an amazing hotel in the marina area. We found the hotel to be one of the nicest hotels we have stayed in and it was in a very convenient location. We would definitely recommend it.

There are six of us (3 couples) that will be spending three days in Hong Kong in early March after a Celebrity cruise. Where do you recommend that we stay in the city? Should we stay in Hong Kong Island or Kowloon? Which hotels do you recommend? We are hoping to see as much as possible while visiting and be in a convenient location? Thanks in advance for your help.

We will be cruising on the Celebrity Millenium in Feb. 2018 but will be spending time prior to the cruise in Singapore and afterwards in Hong Kong. We arrive in Singapore at 1 AM so thought that we should possibly book a hotel near the airport for the first night and then move after that. We are hoping that we could get recommendations on hotels in Singapore and Hong Kong that are well located/nice places. Your help is appreciated.

We have a group of 8 that will be visiting the Bay of Islands as part of our cruise in February and would like to go sailing. We are trying to decide which type of ship/company would be best. I see that there are both sail boats and catamarans being offered. There are also companies that specialize in seeing dolphins/swimming with dolphins. Does anyone have any experience with any of these firms that they would recommend? Thanks in advance for your help. We are really looking forward to this stop and want to ensure that we have a great day.

Can Diamond members get onboard whenever they want or do they have to go at the time on their SeaPass? We are traveling with a group and we could only select 12:00. The balance of our group was able to select 10:30. We don't want to be left behind at the pier.

Our cruise leaves in 5 days and our stateroom has not been assigned yet. I am starting to get concerned. Has anyone else had this experience? If so, how much in advance of the cruise was your cabin assigned? The ship appears to be basically sold out which adds to our concern. Any thoughts?

What is the easiest way to get to the synagogue from the cruise port? How much would a taxi be? How far is it?

Thanks.

We have sailed on the Woodwind twice before and really enjoyed it. Unfortunately, it is totally booked for when we will be in Bonaire on a cruise in December. Any other suggestions for snorkeling boats or snorkeling in general?

Thanks,

Steve

We are going to be doing a back to back on the Allure doing the Med. Are there any special considerations made for back to back passengers? We are staying in the same cabin for both weeks. Will we have to get off the ship and get back on? Anything else that we should be aware of?

Thanks.

We just came off of a cruise and also used Bernards Tours. This was our second time using them. We also highly recommend them and would use them again next time we visit St. Maarten.

Enjoy !!!

Wonderful video. We are going there this week. Can't wait. Watching your video makes us want to go even more.
