As with everything in life, there are best and worst case scenarios, choose what you want and take your own risks...especially in this case, one's action of having a passport or not won't affect anyone other than oneself.

Can you pay with credit card on board the bus?

@cr8tiv1 thank you for the hotel info in Yokohama. Booked intercontinental Grand. I need to make the same trek there next April to embark.

Great information. It works for us perfectly as our port time is 8a-6p in Nov. Thank you!!!

Thank you for the sound advice. All noted. Worst case scenario if it is not favorable to go, I'll have pizza in Naples!!

Hello, could anyone post the link (English) to check the ferry schedule from Naples Port to Capri? For a port visit in 3rd week of Nov, is Capri still worth going? Port time is 7a-7p. Crossing not too choppy? Is prebooking the ferry advisable? Thanks in advance for your time!!

That's good to know - entree sized salads. Didn't know it can be ordered that way. Thx!

Not a Monterey resident. Given that the Monterey Bay National Marine Sanctuary's presence, potential of ship spill and introducing other species to the bay, I would think it is a legitimate concern.

If it weren't for these persistent folks, how would Princess know to fix their problems? To these folks, I say thank you!

I encountered the same message. And the prepaid wifi on two of my future cruises are not showing up! I wonder how I would prove my purchase other than my credit card statement.

Yes, I agreed that the air cancellation timing is peculiar, 1 day after final payment! Sometimes the airline cancels or change schedule and EZ Air is behind on relaying the notification.

Yes chiefly because the community transmission is on the upswing with the new variants so there is higher probability that pax will bring it on board to the ship then with a close environment, it is easier to spread like a wild fire.

I can tell you that when Princess dropped the mask requirement for the crew on my 10/15/2022 full or close to full capacity cruise without telling them to keep some physical distancing, I was extremely concerned when the wait staff was so close physically that his breath was on me while taking my dinner orders. I went to buffet from then on. Fortunately, I remained covid-free from the cruise but I won't be going on Princess for awhile.

On our Coastal cruise 2 weeks ago, it was 7:30 am.

Yes I was in S210 a week ago and experienced some noise in the early morning hours. Think the noise was from the lounge chairs...

Yes I asked them to cancel and requested full refund. It was disconnected as soon as the manager got around to do it.

They have no clue and was so comical that just because it can access google dot com, it proves the internet is fine.

I had the 4-device plan as well. After the first night, even at 1am was unusable, I went to the internet cafe and asked for refund the next morning. On the account statement, it says goodwill credit, should be refundable (did not indicate otherwise) as my shareholder benefit is stated as non-refundable.

I was on Discovery last week too. I asked for a refund since I purchased the wifi on its own. I gave them an earful on my survey! If I can't perform a stock trade when needed, I will think twice to be on the ship!

On my last day of the 7-day cruise, used up all the FCC that was going to expire by end of 2022. I can do my best to avoid crowds and indoors but I can't think of a way to not engage the crew without impacting the service I am receiving. They are mask-optional but I am not sure if they are still being tested on a weekly basis. This is the first time I have not purchased any Future Cruise Deposit. Hope you all enjoy your future cruises, stay safe and keep the stock prices up.

Crew is mostly unmasked on Discovery effective 10/15/2022, recommended but not required indoor. Human nature, when they sneeze, they sneeze into their hands, just witnessed it the other day w/o masks. You know how that goes.

We were on Discovery doing the same Coastal cruise in April. The internet was good then with 40-50% pax load, so I think the issue is that the designed system capacity is inadequate and it failed miserably under a stress load. Terrible if someone depends on it for work email, let alone doing any zoom meeting!!

Even at this wee hour 1:10 am, internet is painfully slow on the Discovery!!

@cruzin4usThanks for the live form. At your leisure, would you mind finding out the pax load for the next sailing on 10/15? Thx so much!

Tip whatever your heart desires esp when it's above and beyond their normal duties. It is an expression of gratitude rather than an obligation. JMO.
