How much do you have to spend in the casino in order to get a casino offer??? I have never gotten a casino offer and I gamble on every cruise I go on. Maybe I just don't know how any of this works. Could someone explain to me please.

I elevated my bed using the pillows that were on the couch (we had a mini-suite) and I put those pillows under the mattress. Worked perfect for me.

We always use Princess transfers and always come in to Ft. Lauderdale a day early. Yes, we use Princess hotels also. Our flights usually come in mid-afternoon and there is always a Princess rep available to get us to our transportation to the hotel. This year one of us is coming from Portland OR and will be taking a non-stop overnight flight that gets into to FLL around 7 a.m. I know I saw somewhere in another post what time the transfers start in the morning, but I sure can't find it. Just wondering how long she will have to hang around the airport in the morning waiting for the Princess rep.

Thank you. Yes, I believe I wrongly ASSUMED that since you could use it for excursions, you could also use it for spa treatments.

I had thought I read somewhere that you could pay for spa treatments scheduled ahead of your cruise with OBC. Apparently not. OBC was not a choice when I went to pay. Did I dream that up? I am trying to book a pedicure online for January 6th onboard the Sky Princess. I have plenty of OBC to cover it.

If I understand correctly, you can change your EZAir flight up to 45 days before flight. But that is after final payment. Can someone explain how this works?

I sent mine in last week via fax and haven't received my credit yet. I am not cruising until early January. Is there a phone # to call?

Meal package for Alaska land portion of cruise tour
Mflem1278 replied to bjtravelnews's topic in Princess Cruises
My experience is several years old, but we did the cruise tour with the meal plan and I am so glad we did. You could order whatever you wanted. Appetizer, entree and dessert. No alcohol, I do remember that. I do not remember if tea and/or coffee was included, as we both drink water with our meals. If you looked at the prices on the menu, they were terribly expensive and we probably would not have eaten as well as we did if we had had to pay the menu prices. -
We too let Princes handle the entire trip. We have never been late to catch the ship or the plane home and I bet the longest I have ever sat on a bus has been 20-25 minutes. They handle the luggage and all is good......

I have taken Princess transfers to FLL airport probably 12 times or more. I don't think we are dropped off at arrivals. They take your suitcase out from underneath the bus and you claim your suitcase then you walk maybe one block at most to the terminal. I don't think it is even a block, maybe half a block. Seems to me that when you get to the terminal you are right there where you check in for your flight.... It has been over a year since we did this (last cruise was to Mediterranean, flying thru Chicago) but I didn't think it was that big of a deal. Maybe someone else has more current knowledge than I do tho.

Looks to me like it was $308. And that was one night. Included transfer from airport to hotel and from hotel to ship and then from ship to airport. I don't know if that is considered expensive in Europe or not. It was a really nice place and we were happy with what we paid.

We stayed at a Princess hotel pre-cruise in Rome in November 2022. Nice place, directly across from the train/subway/bus station. Yes it included transfers. Best Western Premier Hotel Royal Santina

Can anyone who has stayed in one of these rooms give me information please. Are the balconies covered? I am guessing not. It is windy being that far up? Lots of motion? I have stayed on Lido deck before but never the Sun deck. Have been looking forward to it with the retreat pool being right there, but now am second guessing myself. Our usual room location pick is aft, near the elevators and laundry. So Sun deck will be a big change for us. Please give me your opinion, good or bad. Thank you.

I was just on this cruise early November. We did the Jerusalem Overnight (Overland) tour thru Princess. It was awesome and I highly recommend it. The tour company that Princess used for this was Petra Tours. Our guide spoke perfect English. Our overnight hotel in Jerusalem was 4 or 5 star. Very nice! Dan Jerusalem Hotel was the name. There were probably 35-40 in our group. The guide was sooo knowledgeable and I learned so much. There was a separate guide for Bethlehem but our regular guide stayed with us the whole time. We did ALOT of walking the first day, the 2nd day was not quite as much. It was go go go the whole time but I would do it again if I had the chance. You can email me if you want more info. mflem1278@yahoo.com

Good Experience Using Princess Transfers in Rome - November 2022
Mflem1278 replied to Mflem1278's topic in Italy Ports
Actually, no mine wasn't domestic but it wasn't non-stop either. Final destination was Omaha, Nebraska. We had stops in Copenhagen and Chicago to get home. -
I always use Princess transfers no matter where I am sailing to and from. And have never had any problem getting picked up at the airport, or been late and almost missed a flight using their transfers. I have noticed that alot of people on this forum were saying you shouldn't use them for Rome because the port is so far from the airport. We disembarked on a Monday morning. We used Princess transfers. We had an 11:25 flight from Rome to Copenhagen. Princess had us in Group 1 - Walk Off Transfer to Airport. Yes, we had to handle our own suitcases but I am in my 60s and my friend is in her 70s and we have no problem doing that. We met the Provence Dining Room at 6 a.m. We were on the bus by 6:10 a.m. and on our way to the airport before 6:30. The drive took about 50 minutes - because they had us on the road before the morning commute got busy. We were at the airport before our airline even started checking in luggage. They didn't open their window until 8:10. (We flew SAS). I remember because we asked them when we could check our luggage in. We probably stood there for 15 minutes waiting on them. We were checked in 3 hours before our flight. So yes, you CAN use Princess transfers and get to the airport in Rome with plenty of time to spare. I do realize that there may be other circumstances such as fog or late arrival. Anything can happen. But our experience was that there was plenty of time. By the way - our 14 day cruise on the Island Princess was phenomenal. Italy, Greece, Turkey and Israel. I would do it again in a heartbeat.

If I am reading the Princess website correctly (it appears to just have been recently updated on Sept 19th) - if you are on a cruise that does not depart from Greece (even tho you will be visiting Greece during your cruise), you no longer need to test and you no longer need to have a booster shot. Am I correct with this?
