Dawn Princess Cruise

[Ashore]

6 days to go tankstand , don't forget to cancle the auto gratuities as soon as you get on board and give the cabin steward $50 and tell him theres another $50 at the end of the voyage , this however you dont have to pay but if he thinks he will get some more his service will be good.
now sit back and enjoy

Neighbour of ours has just had 15 days cruising the Pacific put on 4 kg.Dont forget to pack a bag for your first night on board with your pjs etc.Take this on board with you because your luggage wont arrive in your room till the day after you leave

Must be getting excited now mate. only a few more days and you are off. don't forget to take some pics for the forum. Look forward to seeing those.

Last year took Sun

We opted out of the daily deduction for gratuities and instead gave the same amount to our dining room waiters (where we took most meals) and our cabin steward.


Hope this of some help.

Bon Voyage!

This is going to have to apply with our world cruise also as the amount thet deduct per day can add up to an horrendous amount per person over 104 nights.

To Tankstand and his wife, I hope you have a great time and really enjoy yourselves.

Cheers

Thanking you all for your comments, yes , after 8 months of planning, we are getting very excited!

Thank you acmegridley for the heads up, I suppose they do have to deal with a lot of luggage, better be prepared for that one.

Will cancel the auto gratuities first up along with getting in on the duty free! How much grog per person are we allowed? 2.2 Litres each?

As for photos, I just received my new 16Gb memory card, over 2 thousand pics @ 12Mb! Got it from FleeBay via Honk Kong for well under half price!

Just need to free up the credit card, work out how much cash we need, pack, and pray there are no airline strikes or acts of god!

Forgot to add to the to do list!, squeeze in one more round of golf!

I bet golf would be a lot less frustrating hitting the ball from the back deck trying to get it in the water ya can't miss.

[Tankstand]

That would no doubt overcome my dread of hitting into the water (Which I'm very good at!)

Looking forward to playing computerised golf. I won't have to chase the ball!

enjoy your trip mark
