What have people been paying for an uber?

Make sure clear cache and history. Delete App and reinstall App.  See if that helps. 

How do I clear cache on i-phone?

It takes 2min and 10sec to open the princess app on my i-phone 10.  Is this a common thing?

You are looking for a transfer after your cruise.  You can book that onboard as well. 

Yes it is for post cruise.  I wonder if you book it onboard would they give you a departure time at the start of the week or would you have to wait till closer to the end to be assigned time? 

Don't remember who she booked with I think it's a company out of Anchorage, but yes it was one recommended from this site.  I know I asked this question a few months ago but am hoping to get some current up to date info from this season. Maybe someone who is on the Royal Princess could talk with the tour desk for me to see what time the first Princess transfer bus leaves for Anchorage.  My sister had a transfer booked through Princess by mistake and when she called to inquire about it she was told it departed after 9am. 

If you happen to be on the Royal Princess this year and are up early on Whittier day can you take a look at the gangway and let me know what is the earliest time you see passengers walking off the ship with their luggage. 

My Sister booked a private transfer from Whittier to Anchorage to catch a later morning flight (against my recommendations but only way she can get home that day). 

Hopefully there will be some first hand accounts before we sail on Jul 13th

Thanks

Open the app and go to “Reserve Dining”  then click on the dining room you want to reserve to start a new reservation. Then click on the little pencil icon next to your photo. Then click on the plus sign in the upper right corner of the screen; this will bring up a box where you can add their booking numbers so you can add them to the reservation. 

Thanks did this added everyone in our party of 12 but now it shows no time slots available.  Is that due to having 12 people? 

My sister had a transfer booked automatically somehow when she booked her EZ Air flights.  Not sure how it got booked same TA as above?  She called and canceled it as she needs to get to the airport fast so has arranged a taxi transfer instead.  So you should be able to book it somehow? 

Duplicate post sorry

Do all guest rooms on the Royal Princess have mini fridges?  If so are they stocked or empty? 

Do you have to buy tickets or can you just tap in and out with your credit card?

You don't mention what time you land at YVR, or your transportation to Canada Place, or your nationality, or your sailing time.  So....  here's my general advice:  allow at least an hour at YVR to clear immigration and get your luggage. Allow at least 35-45 minutes to get downtown (either taxi or skytrain).  If you find a porter and drop your bags at Canada Place, plan on 1-2 hrs (when you return) to get thru check in, security, and US immigration.  You must be onboard 90 prior to sailing.  You do the math...

Do you have to be onboard 90 min before departure or just checked in 90 min before?

Our experience last year on a B2B with transit in Vancouver was not pleasant. Took more than an hour to get back on the ship after a day touring the city, even for transit passengers. I would not get too far from Canada Place with that many passengers on those ships. Get on the ship and enjoy a relaxing afternoon and admire the city from there. 

What time of day were you trying to get back on the ship? 

If you buy arcade credits online are they just added to your cruise card? 

Is there a Starbucks on the Brilliance that offers drinks included with the refreshment package like on the Navigator?

What is the cost for a single mocktail with no package?

Learned something new. I thought the escape rooms were only on Oasis and Icon class ships, and that they are all different. Turns out, Navigator, Mariner, and Spectrum have them also and there's only 5 different ones.

thanks for the link guess there isn't one on the Brilliance.

You can’t buy the refreshment package on day 3 of a cruise. 

When did this change we did it a few years ago.

Don't get hung up on %. The price changes daily. So the % off is irrelevant. Focus on price only. 

But what is the daily cost to buy it on the ship itself? 

Son is cruising the Brilliance of the Seas at the end of the month and he was thinking of buying the refreshment package on day 3 of his 8 day cruise.  I noticed online it states it's 30% off if he buys it online.  Is this correct so he wouldn't really be saving any money waiting to purchase it later in the cruise as he would be paying 30% more?

Was on the Navigator of the Seas last year and did the escape room and just wondering if the escape room is different on the Brilliance of the Seas before booking the room? 

If you book with EZ Air don't they get you to the ships next stop if you happen to miss the boat? I booked with EZ Air for a quick little one hour flight morning of cruise from Edmonton to Vancouver.  It's during the summer and there are a couple flights after ours that could still get us to the ship if there was a problem with ours. We always fly in a day early at least but since this is such a short trip I thought we would save on the hotel room and just fly in morning of using the EZ Air get you to the ship as our insurance. Is this correct?

LOL  Thanks for the additional info.  Another great Canadian tv show that I watched all the time was of course "The Beachcombers" 

Why don't people recommend using the waterfront station on Howe St rather then Cordova St to catch the sky train to YVR? 

Great thanks for the info.  One of my favorite tv shows growing up was Danger Bay so would like to see the aquarium.  Is there something other the FlyOver that you would recommend in the area?
