I am curious if your travel friend-travel agent was informed about this cruise by Princess with notification in advance of the May 23 selling? or She/he was informed by you with this post? I am going to email my agent to book when it opens for Elite on May 22. I wonder if she will be informed in advance of the selling or will she not know and ask me what I am talking about?

I plan on booking this cruise, normally I would book when Elite opens up. My agency has a Princess 3 day usually Thursday-Saturday the first week of June with $$$ OBC. I was hoping to book at that time to the extra OBC but now with everyone says it might sell out before the agency’s sale in 10 days later.

I saw the Eclipse on April 8, 2024, just outside of Toronto, Ontario, Canada.

It was a Princess excursion (Panama Canal & Lock Transit by boat), bus to ferry that held 3 Princess bus passengers, up close going through the canal, lunch, water, soda included, beer extra, a bus took us back to the ship. A great way to see the locks up close.

I have done Panama Canal roundtrip FLL 2x. I really enjoyed going through the canal on the smaller boat. I am wondering which will be the embarkment port and the ports in Spain, France, Portugal.

What ports did you visit?

I am planning to book. Will have to wait to see what ports they are going to.

What did Princess do to make it an amazing cruise beside what they normally do on a cruise? I have taken 30 cruises with Princess. It is the weather -heat/humid in August in Europe , I am thinking about.

Carmen Roig, VP Princess posted this on Facebook. On sale May 23, 2024. 14 day Spain, France, and Portugal with a not to be missed Total Solar Eclipse departing Aug 8, 2026 on the Sky Princess. I know you can’t predict what the weather will be. I was told, Europe is very hot and humid in the summer months. I have been on Mediterranean cruises in November, Britain in August and Norwegian Fjords in September with comfortable weather. What are your opinions of cruising in August to Europe?

The daily dining menu (breakfast and dinner) will show once on the ship on the app. It is not also correct.

Alfredo’s is walk in. Sometimes there is a line waiting.

I was in PR711 on the Island. Remember to say PR then your number as P is for Plaza deck. When we said “PR711”, people would say like the store 711. The door and walls are metal. A very quiet area as there are not many cabins. The back elevator was around the corner of the hallway. There is a specialty restaurant near there, the bar is only open when the restaurant is open.

I have done that to get a seat, I bring a book to read to wait. When the game show finishes I move to a better seats. I have found, we go to the 7:30 show in the theater at one end of the ship, the game show is at 8:30 at the other end ship and by the time you get through the crowds, there are no seats available. Some of the events timing is off.

Depending where you are cruising from, you can visit a grocery store before getting on the ship.

I purchase the Classic Soda package. I don’t drink enough for per day cost but take it for the convenience of able to get a soda, juice, mocktails anywhere on the ship when I want one instead of going back to my cabin for a soda from my Elite mini bar.

I get cranberry juice from the bar under the Classic Soda package. Soda is in cans, now.

Following along as I have taken Norwegian Fjords 3x.

You will have to make new dining reservations June 17.

The site you posted and deleted shows and explains about flipping the back of the bench seats to face in the opposite way and switching sides.

I took the train up and bus back with the private tour company so needed my passport. We just held the passport up in the air and the Canadian Custom/Immigration agent walked down the aisle. He just looked to might sure everyone had a passport. As he passed me, he said “Welcome home” as I am Canadian. If I remember when it was the roundtrip train ride, when we got to the end on the one way, we flipped the seats over to face the other way and were asked to switched to the other side. The train used the same track.

I have taken the train 2x -1) Princess, 2)private tour with - wwwchilkootcharters.com . The private tour had the very last coach and less crowded and was able to spend a lot of time outside. Remember to bring your passport.

When I took the train we also switched sides to give everyone a chance to see from both sides.

Yes, if you have his Captain Circle number you can purchase a FCD for him on your credit card on file. I have done this a few times. I visit the Future Cruise desk to do this, to tell them I am taking FCD for others not on the ship. Before you sail, sign him up for Refer A Friend and he will get his Captain Circle Number and you each will receive $25 OBC.

I had a refund for a refundable OBC on my last cruise. My cabin mate received her cheque. I called 3x and was told it was mailed. On call #4, this agent asked for my address, it turns out Princess had not put my unit number even through it is on my profile. I finally received my cheque. I would call Princess.

Thanks for the ideas.
