Princess plus price on board in AUD
sewgood replied to Camelia-'s topic in Australia & New Zealand Cruisers
I've looked up the price for the Coral which is in New York this July as part of the world cruise and the daily price to upgrade is $65 AUD per day per guest. Princess premier is $95. Neither of these prices include the daily gratuity as Princess includes it in the cruise fare for Australians when the ship is using Australian dollars. -
Charges for Crown Grill on Princess
sewgood replied to bonox55's topic in Australia & New Zealand Cruisers
We usually go to at least one speciality restaurant per cruise but at that price x 2 for a couple, I will be passing. I don't know if they will be adding the 18% surcharge (tip) to the price as well, which was introduced on the Princess cruises operating in US dollars last year. -
Transportation to Australia Zoo from Cruise port
sewgood replied to ArlineLA's topic in Australia & New Zealand Cruisers
If it is not the official end of the cruise for everyone (that is, it could be booked as one cruise not just a B2B) the passengers continuing on will have tours for Brisbane and surrounds to book for the day. As you are leaving the cruise in Brisbane you would need to book a tour called Brisbane airport transfer with Australia Zoo, which by the sound if it is not offered. Any tour taking you to the airport at the end of the day Princess would have airport transfer in its title. -
Transportation to Australia Zoo from Cruise port
sewgood replied to ArlineLA's topic in Australia & New Zealand Cruisers
We have done one of these last day tours in Singapore and we didn't have to deal with our luggage until we got to the airport after having gone through customs in the morning and taking our cases out to the bus. I remember we couldn't book this excursion unless our flight was after a certain time. We have also done one in Alaska where we were dropped off at the Captain Cook hotel in the late afternoon where we were staying the night. If you are concerned or have any questions visit the tour desk earlier in your cruise and they will be able to answer any question that you may have. -
Sun Princess Signature suite questions answered!
sewgood replied to Sox Fan Cruiser's topic in Princess Cruises
I'm interested to know if the suite area in the Sanctuary is an extra cost per day or is it included in the price of a suite. -
If you have time on the afternoon before your cruise take a walk to the old prison and take a tour. I really enjoyed my time in the prison and there is some great commentary about the children that were imprisoned there. There are also great unique boutiques in Fremantle.

I stayed at the Hougoumont Hotel and it was wonderful and it has a great position in the main street. The service was extra friendly ( I thought that the manger perhaps owned it, it was such a personalised service) But the rooms are extremely small and I was glad my husband wasn't with me for that trip. I don't think we could have fitted two suitcases in the room. If I had to guess I would say they were single hotel/pub rooms converted to double and a tiny bathroom then squeezed into the room.

Majestic Princess 13N Sth Pacific Feb 10-23 2024
sewgood replied to mr walker's topic in Australia & New Zealand Cruisers
Glad you had a great cruise. I'm sad I missed the Elvis entertainer and a cruise on my favourite of the Royal class ship. -
I received this email from Princess as well and at no time during my 20 day cruise was it added to my OBC. I read after I returned home you had to go to passenger services to have it added. If they send you an email saying you will receive it, it should automatically be added on, but in my experience it wasn't. My advice is to do what Arxcards mentions and go to passengers services and ask. The OBC should at least pay for a couple trips to Alfredo's or for some room service deliveries or other things that were included when you booked.

Tours for world cruise cancelled
sewgood replied to Sparrow3131's topic in Australia & New Zealand Cruisers
I'm getting on in Dover and I checked my account and all the excursions are still there beside from Key West which they never listed any for, anyway. My booked ones have not been cancelled, so I do believe it was just a glitch in the system when they had to redo the itinerary for those doing the full world cruise or the half world cruise from Down Under. If anyone on the WC needs prices of tours or the number of tickets left for particular tours on the second half just ask me on the roll call.
