I’m guessing @Mattsomehow got them to post the points to his account

Well I’m failing already. Had dinner at Glacier Brewhouse and I totally forgot to take pictures. The flight was pretty smooth and took about 6 hours. We are staying at Sheraton Anchorage. Our room wasn’t ready when we got there around 2pm so we headed for lunch. After that we went to a fur shop and my aunt got some really nice stuff. It was out of my price range though. Now just going to try and stay up a couple more hours to get acclimated with the time change, but pretty exhausted right now.

So life has been crazy the last few months. Youngest son in travel ball, a couple cruises with just me and a couple of the kids, a few trips to Austin to check on the restaurant, and wife taking Master's classes, we are ready for a vacation together!! Writing this from the plane as I didn't have time to get this started before we left. We did Alaska back in 2019 and loved it. This trip was booked to celebrate my 45th birthday and our travel buddies (aunt and uncle) 40th wedding anniversary. So we are trying to do this trip right. Itinerary: July 12 - ORD to ANC Alaska Airlines. Couldn't afford business class, but upgraded to premium to get some extra leg room for the flight. July 13 - Glass Dome Railroad to Denali National Park. Midnight sun ATV tour. Staying in Denali Cabins. Originally wanted to stay in the back country lodges, but the road is still closed this year to get back there and flying back to them was not cost effective July 14 - TBD...will be at Denali all day so probably do some hiking and figure out what else while there. July 15 - Motorcoach to Talkeetna. Top of the World Tour to Denali with a glacier landing. Staying at Talkeetna Alaskan Lodge July 16 - Motorcoach to Seward. Staying at Seward Windsong Lodge. July 17 - Northwestern Fjord Tour July 18 - Hiking in Kenai National Park then board Radiance later afternoon July 19 - Hubbard Glacier viewing July 20 - Junaeu. Still determing what we are going to do here. might just go to Mendenhall Glacier Park and do some hiking, sight seeing, July 21 - Skagway. White Pass Railroad and Yukon Suspension Bridge July 22 - Icy Straight Point. Whale Watching and Marine Mammals Cruise July 23 - Ketchikan. Hovercraft Eco Adventure & Wildlife Quest July 24 - Inside Passage July 25 - YVR to ORD American Airlines.....had points so going First Class here!! We did a 3nt dining package for the cruise and rest will either eat at the ports or do MDR. plan is to just take a ton of pictures and try to capture the beauty that is Alaska.

RoyalUp Star of the Seas
LandstromCruise replied to Cruisin4aBoozin2's topic in Royal Caribbean Discussion
I’m not certain but I believe with the Royal ups you get at most 3 categories from your existing category and I think the icon class have several additional categories that might be making it so you don’t get to the Star level upgrades. -
Lincoln Park Supper Club
LandstromCruise replied to LandstromCruise's topic in Royal Caribbean Dining
Yeah that was the price in both of mine. I have the UDP booked and I believe I should get a credit on ship. Not something I would pay that kind of money for every time, but I like trying new venues like that. Plus I believe I saw it was supposed to have Prime Rib, and there are some pretty good places in Chicago with Prime Rib so hoping it’s as good as some of those -
FYI...if you have one of the early sailings and want to book this, it has now shown up on my sailings for Aug 27 and Aug 31. I am excited to try it out!
