How is the star princess cruise line for teens? thanks
I cruised on the Star Princess in January (a couple months before the fire) It is an awesome ship and an Awesome cruise! (my sister got married on-board) As for teens… they’re an awkward age for cruises because they aren’t old enough to enjoy the adult entertainment, but are really too old for the kid stuff… that being said, the Star Princess had lots of live entertainment (music) for all ages, multiple swimming pools, etc… so it really depends on what your teen is looking for… the boat is big enough to allow them some freedom and small enough so that you don’t have to freak out if you don’t know exactly where they are every minute… I recommend it…
How is the star princess cruise line for teens?
I was curious if someone is going on the carnival or Princess cruise on March 21-28 of 2009?
Me and my fiancee are 20 years old and will not be married for another year. He is currently in Iraq and comes back after 15 months in February. We are trying to plan a cruise but we need someone to be willing to "connect" their stateroom with ours so we can go. We are very mature and responsible. We are trying to achieve a romantic get away. If anyone is willing to do this I would greatly appreciate it. We would not be any hassle and you would never even have to meet us if you did not want. I would greatly appreciate this. Thanks!
Ok, here’s what you need to do. If you are already booked, go to cruisecritic.com and click on boards. Joining is free. Click on Roll Calls, find your cruise line, then your ship, then your sail date. You can then get in touch with other people going on your same cruise. You can then ask your question about the adjoining staterooms. I hope this helps and Bon Voyage!!!
Extra costs on a seven day cruise on a Royal Caribbean cruises?
We are going on a seven day cruise on Allure of the Seas in August of this year and Mariner of the Seas in February of next year. We need to know how much money we need to bring and what is included and what isn’t. Also I heard about a daily fee for something per person so I need to know what that is going to be.
Regardless of which cruise line and ship you select, the things that are included are pretty much the same. The price of your cruise includes your cabin, all meals (including breakfast, lunch dinner, snacks and free room service)(you do pay to eat in the specialty restaurants), all shows and entertainment, and free use of all facilities on ship. On the Allure they do have several "specialty" restaurants where there IS a fee to eat but they will give you a flier when you board that lists all of the free places and those that have a fee. The zip line, rock wall, ice skating, and all of the shows are free; but you do need to reserve them and you can do that online once you have made your reservation.
The things that you will have to pay for are:
GRATUITIES: They will amount to about $11.50 per person in your cabin per day; about $80 each person for a 7 day cruise. (Royal Caribeban just raised it’s gratuity fees) The gratuities cover your cabin steward, waiter, assistant waiter, and the head waiter. Those are the only people you’ll need to tip. When you check in at the pier they will set up an on-board charge account for you to cover any and everything you may buy on ship. They will issue you a "cruise card" which will also serve as your room key and pass to get on and off the ship. At the end of the cruise they will add the gratuity to your tab and you can pay with a credit card or cash, your choice. Everything on the ship is cashless, except the casino. You pay at the end of the cruise with your charge card, or you can arrange to pay cash. On a 7-day cruise I typically take about $300 cash, mainly for incidental souvenirs on shore and maybe a few dollars for the casino.
ALCOHOLIC DRINKS AND SOFT DRINKS: Coffee, tea, milk, juice, and lemonade and punch will be provided free but you must pay for drinks (alcoholic beverages) and they will add a 15% gratuity to each drink of soft drink order.
PHOTOGRAPHS: Cruise lines will take plenty of photographs of you all over the ship, in the dining room, and as you exit the ship in ports. These will cost a lot, like $15 to $20 for most.
TOURS/EXCURSIONS: You are not required to book any tours and can get off and on in the ports as much as you want. But the cruise line will offer a lot of tours and these are expensive. These are listed on your cruise line web site and you can reserve them well before the cruise and pay for them also. If you are going to the Caribbean, most places you can get a tour or taxi on the pier for a much lower price than on the ship.
SOUVENIRS: Anything you buy on ship from a gift shop or duty free shop goes on your on board account. Things that you buy on shore you pay cash or credit card for.
CASINO: If you plan to gamble on ship you will need cash for that.
OTHER: most cruise lines have what they call "specialty" restaurants where there is a gratuity/service charge. All other food on board is free and its not really necessary to budget for food; you cannot eat all of the FREE FOOD that will be available.
If you want/need to have your hair done, get a massage or wrap, or any services from the spa, you will have to pay for them. You can use the gym free but the spa stuff cost big bucks.
Ships now have internet cafe and some have WiFi but the there is a fee for internet access and it is very expensive (like about $50 an hour).
You cabin will likely have a minibar with soft drinks and munchies; you have to pay for them (but there is free room service 24/7).

luggage question pertaining to land cruise with Princess?
Going on a Princess land cruise. Have been told to pack two suitcases – one for land travel and one for the ocean cruise. I don’t really want to take more than one suitcase so is this necessary?
Not necessary to take separate luggage. Just pack as you normally would and be sure to carry your medication, etc. in a carry-on. Your luggage will follow you whereever you go. Have a great time!!
what are the best shore exercusions on a Princess Cruise in Alaska?
Is it better to go on the cruise ships or hire a taxi and go on your own adventure
Alaska is one cruise where you can save lots of money by going on excursion on your own. Just be sure you go to cruisecritic.com to get the low downs of different excursion companies. A must do in Skagway is the white pass railroad. Very scenic and great for all ages. For the adventuresome types, think about mountain point snorkeling( I would book this one through the ship). Whale watching is great in Alaska. There is a company named Harv and Marv that get fantastic reviews for this.
do royal caribbean do worldwide cruises?
They have a worldwise cruise brochure yet after looking through it, it doesn’t have a section on world cruises. Also, if anyone could send me a link to prove royal caribbean do do world cruises I would be so grateful. (Its to help me with an assignment I am doing), i have looked everywhere on the net but cannot find nothing.
