I read for the Sun elevator, you press the deck you want and the number of people wanting that deck. Sometimes on the other ships, I press one deck then decide I had pressed the wrong deck. What happens on the Sun, when you have press one deck and get on the elevator then decide it is the wrong deck?

I have taken International Friends from Southampton to London - Salisbury, Stonehenge and Windsor. They drop you off at your London hotel door, a Plus.

When I went to the Edinburgh Castle, I purchased my own tickets in advance. I was told for the Castle, go to the top and work your way down, you are going against the traffic. We walked to the top, saw the jewels with no crowds.

We did not have to swipe our Medallion. He wrote down our cabin number and charged 1 credit to one of us. We used 1 casual credit for 2 - we shared the salad, pizza and ordered 1 dessert but he gave us 2 desserts. Another lunch, we again used 1 casual credit for 2.

On the Sky in Feb, I asked if we could use 1 casual credit at Alfredo’s for 2 people. It seemed he was used to being asked. Each ship might be different, so ask when you check in to be seated.

I have never had the Elite tea. How do you order it? Do they ask how many people? Do they ask what you want to eat? Or is it a standard tea food?

On the old MedallionClass app, you could only see the cruise you are sailing on. Once you have disembarked, your other cruises would appear again.

Do you find the new Princess is slower to open up than the MedallionClass app?

Having American Diner deck 8, might be nice to have once in awhile. Do you have to have a reservation or can you walk up?

You might want to ask on Cruise Air.

You have already dropped off your checked luggage at Domestic, International, States. YYZ Express is a fast line (front of the line) to get through the security line, where you put all your belongings in a bin and walk through a metal detector.

We use the walk in closet area as a changing room.

If interested check out International Friends. They go on disembarkment days. They pick up at Southampton docks, stop at Salisbury, Stonehenge and Windsor then drop off at the door of certain London hotels. www.internationalfriends.co.uk

Following along. Enjoy your cruise.

I have a travel agent, EzAir is added to my Princess invoice from her and I pay EzAir and cruise fare at cruise final payment.

Following along. Enjoy your cruise.

I used ArriveCAN on Monday March 4 at Pearson Airport returning from USA with no problem. ArriveCAN was fast with no lineup and regular line was very long.

Have seen the 2024 coupons yet. Maybe someone will post 2024. My next cruise with a coupon book from my agent is not until Nov 2025.

If leaving Canada through Toronto Pearson Airport (maybe at other Canadian airports) use YYZ Express. You add airline, flight #, date, number of passengers, choose your time. You are front of the line for security. At the security area, there is a sign for EXPRESS. You show QR code at entrance.

If returning to Canada through Toronto Pearson Airport (maybe other Canadian airports) use the ArriveCAN app.. You fill in the same information in advance up to 72 hours before your flight that you would fill in at kiosks in the Immigration area. There is a green EXPRESS sign to follow. I returned to Canada, Monday March 4 @ 3:20pm, there was no line for EXPRESS line vs the long regular Immigration line.

Why not do a Princess post cruise excursion from Southampton to LHR? The post excursions either stop at Stonehenge or Windsor then you are dropped at Terminal 3 then walk to your hotel. International Friends - www.internationalfriends.co.uk They pick up at Southampton dock, stop at Salisbury, Stonehenge and Windsor or a few other tours and will drop you at certain LHR hotels, if your is not listed get dropped of at LHR terminal 3.

I had planned a cruise with family plus 2 yr. I told my agent the 2 yr would not use any of the packages. She was able to get Princess to remove the package for the 2 yr.

On the Ruby in Sept for Hawaii. Does the Ruby have a covered pool?

I have no knowledge of RC post excursion procedure. I have only done Princess post excursions. I am sure RC post excursions are the same as Princess. Self disembarkment (carry your own luggage off the ship) is for people wanting to get off early. I would book the post excursion in advance. Once you are on board go to Shore Excursion desk and ask what their post excursion procedure is. If you like what they tell you, keep the excursion or cancel it.
