Concierge booked my dining package reservations
Baked Alaska replied to Matt's topic in Royal Caribbean Dining
Good to know. Do the concierges on ALL sailing make contact with suite guests or just within the big ship purview? I will mark my calendar for a possible concierge "reaching out" (really do dislike that phrase "reach out". . . ugh) and requesting the same. LOVE IT! -
Just wanted to report that I just cancelled and rebooked Voom Surf & Stream for 3 Devices for our July 19th, 2019 Radiance of the Seas Alaska Southbound. The price dropped from $226.66 to $202.93. May not seem like much, except now that's another two drinks, or. . . It really does pay to keep checking the cruise planner and the fare of your cruise. By checking both (about every other day), I have been able to avail our family to upgrading our stateroom (started with a JS and with fare reductions over the last two qtrs, have upgraded to a GS and then to an OS, all at the same price as what we originally booked the JS, YESSSSS!!!). Have saved money on the Voom just by checking the cruise planner.

So, I'm wondering, when the new itineraries/deployments are officially announced by RCCL, how soon afterwards do you @Matt announce a group cruise? I'm wanting to pounce as soon as the deployments are announced, but at the same time don't want to shoot myself in the foot by not getting on board ?with a future group cruise.

No worries. I knew this was the place to ask. ? I just ordered a"one person" 3 device Surf & Stream (not surf and voyage) setup for our Radiance sailing. Wasn't a bad price. I'll keep my eyeballs peeled for sales. Maybe they'll do a refreshment/voom combo deal. Currently offered on Ultimate Drink and Soda.

After listening to this week's podcast, I have this question: We will be staying in an Owner's Suite for our July 2019 Radiance Southbound. I thought that VOOM was a perk for suite guests on Radiance, but now I am not sure. There will be three of us with four total devices. I'll have my chromebook along, but I plan to swap out that out with my phone VOOM connection. I can't seem to find where specifically this is mentioned. I know I've seen it. . .

I know this is a long shot, BUT! Has anybody on these boards ever looked into trying to hit a European football/soccer match, either pre or post cruise? Would be interested in why you did or did not purchase or go through with the match. Thinking UEFA: Premier, League 1, Serie A, La Liga, etc. I hear crickets. . . .

Radiance of the Seas, Alaska Southbound 8/31/18
Baked Alaska replied to twangster's topic in Live Blogs
@rjac Keeping you and all in our thoughts and prayers. I work in a Catholic school, so we included you all in our morning prayers. ? -
Agreed, it does look cold. However, we are stream fishing at several ports in Alaska next July (too) and I suspect it might be a tad chilly, too, but not like rafting.

Radiance of the Seas, Alaska Southbound 8/31/18
Baked Alaska replied to twangster's topic in Live Blogs
@twangster When I got to your debark day, I was literally feeling the emotions of getting off the ship. Ugh. Now the withdrawl. Where are we going next, @twangster? Thank you for posting this blog. Still haven't decided what our second trip to Alaska will be. I think some research into Seattle and Vancouver will be the deciding factors. We are taking the train from Vancouver to Seattle for our first Alaska cruise southbound, next summer. I had questioned my move until I read your last two entries. Now I believe I made the right decision for our family (and hoping the Seattle Sounders MLS will be in town that Saturday). Can't wait for your next blog!! -
Also, clear cookies, etc. If you use chrome, ctrl-shift-N will give you an incognito web page. Try that, too. Actually, I'd try that first.

@chrisd596 Check out @twangster live blog on his just completed southbound Alaska cruise. There is A LOT of helpful information in his blog and periscopes.

@twangster Because of your wonderful coverage, we are moving our Caribbean Holiday cruise to the following summer and heading back to Alaska in 2020! (Nevermind we haven't embarked on the July 2019 southbound, yet!) Come on 2020 itineraries! -

Hi @twangster Sorry to report but the majority of pics in the last non-food pic post didn't "stick". Above is a sample. Very much enjoying your posts today! -

Baked Alaska replied to twangster's topic in Live Blogs
@twangster Sounds like you have a good internal compass. Does the moss grow on the north side of the trees in Alaska? It's my first navigation tool (after the sun) in our woods. -
Radiance of the Seas, Alaska Southbound 8/31/18
Baked Alaska replied to twangster's topic in Live Blogs
@twangster Such great coverage of your trip! THANK YOU!! As you probably know, we are doing this same itinerary (and Goldstar service pre-cruise) in July 2019. So, here are my questions so far: Pre-cruise: 1. Regarding Goldstar service, my receipt shows the train leaves the depot at 6:45 AM. What is a good time to arrive to the depot? Is 6:15 too late? 2. Once we arrive in Seward at 11:30-ish, is there separate boarding area for suite guests? 3. Our plan is to check-in, eat, and then get off the boat and head to the Alaska SeaLife Center. So you think that is doable? Is there transportation to the Center? Cruise: 1. Did Rita's ever serve crab-legs? 2. You had mentioned in one of your periscopes that you had signed up for a fishing excursion with Dave(?) from the Deadliest Catch show for tuna (?) fishing. I cannot locate this on TripAdvisor. Do you have any contact info or URL for them? We are currently signed up for the Knudson Cove Salmon Fishing excursion, but would love to hear more about your excursion. 3. Looking forward to venturing out on my own in Juneau. Planning on the tramway in the AM and Mendenhall in the PM. Thanks for all the photos and periscopes! Hoping our day will be as clear as yours turned out to be. 4. Did Next Cruise ever run any "deals"? Post-cruise: We are taking the Amtrak Cascade service to Seattle the evening (5:30-ish) Radiance arrives in Vancouver. Can you suggest some sort of excursion to do in Vancouver between ship debarkation and train embarkation? Will have more questions as you post. THANK YOU SO MUCH! My family, 13 year-old son included, is loving your blog posts! Your calving pics and video of Hubbard were FANTASTIC! We're ready to go NOW!! ?
