Usually the ones with the excursions have a designated meeting spot. So at least you'll be together with your group, but nothing to say you would be prioritized. I will say that the post-cruise excursions with airport dropoff tend to be very, very conservative when it comes to their cutoff time for flights, so there's usually a lot of wiggle room for the actual excursion to leave later.

#6 makes it seem like the only requirement to book onboard is to receive the bonus upgrade or FreePlay offer. The typical offer earned you should still have 30 days to redeem.

Enjoy! I hope you guys have a great time!

There is a Roll Call for the May 15 sailing where you may want to pop in and ask any questions. Hopefully some of them will come and give you feedback after their cruise.

Yes. You just need to know the room numbers when making the reservations once onboard. If you want to use the app to make the reservations on board, you need to make sure that you have all of the reservations linked so you can see all of the individuals. For the courtesy reservation time you select when booking the package, I always just ignore it really. You can pick the time if you know for sure that's what you want, but you can't guarantee that they'll have a reservation time available at the restaurant that you want at that time anyways. I think the courtesy time selection is more of an inventory control thing for the Cruise Planner rather than actually booking a reservation. You can change whatever is "courtesy booked" for you once onboard, if anything was booked at all. When you are pre-paying for a single reservation at a specific time, that's the only time where it gets difficult when considering adding others with dining packages later. In that case, I would suggest pre-paying to secure the spots and then you can get refunded onboard.

I checked all 6 of my upcoming sailings that are listed in my Cruise Planner and congratulations, you win! Even my furthest out booked cruise, which is a Royal Caribbean Blog Group Cruise (and they should know better), is only at $80.99.

That means you can have 4 devices of any type using the login at the same time. That can be phones, tablets, laptops, etc. Once the login hits 4 devices, it will ask you if you want to bump another device off before allowing one to sign-in. The login doesn't tie the devices to it, meaning you can use an infinite number of devices, just no more than 4 at a single time.

You don't have to make reservations. My Time Dining is just like a restaurant on land..you can make reservations or walk up when you want to eat. There may be a wait based on availability. If you want to switch to the early set dining time you need to call whoever you booked the cruise with and ask if they can switch you. Otherwise you can ask once onboard if they have space.

Makes no difference how you are paying for the specialty meals when you make the reservations.

This is what you should do. Ask for an "in transit" card once you get your SeaPass for the second leg. Then you can disembark and meet your kid and take them through the check-in process. The "in transit" card will show the port workers they don't need to check you in again.

The Walgreens NAAT test has a quick turnaround and will be accepted for boarding the ship.

Just curious how you earned 3 of the same certificate? It was my understanding you could only earn 1 per sailing.

The canceled sailing should trigger an automatic cancelation of all Cruise Planner purchases. It just may take longer to refund than if you would have canceled the purchase yourself.

Go to the MDR and ask or look for someone on the Promenade holding The Key sign. Lunch should be available until 1:30pm.

As long as you cancel within 24 hours of your port stop, yes.

They have both on Oasis.

Radiance class suite lounge only has complimentary drinks during Happy Hour. Another benefit of the suite is complimentary room service, including ordering off of the main dining room menu. There should be a separate breakfast dining location for suite guests to partake in as well.

I'd check with anywhere that has specialty coffees. You may have to explain to them exactly what it is, but if they can make a cappuccino, they have the means available to make the frothy milk. No idea what or if they would charge for it since it's basically just milk, which is normally free on board.

They just list the Tracy Arm cruising portion like it's a separate day, but you'll see that's just the morning before the Juneau port stop.

I'm hoping that the price drops some. It's a small ship, so a lot less space to sell and it's pretty far into the future. I even booked at NextCruise and the price wasn't lower when my MEI TA pulled it into the group. It's refundable, so I have a loooong time to make a decision if this is actually feasible for me or not

You have to type the @ and then start typing the username afterwards and wait for it to populate so you can click on the name to make it insert to where it notifies that user

In the Windjammer there are usually some flavored waters available during lunch. They also have the standard juices available at breakfast (orange, cranberry, apple, tomato) that are included.

The check-in that you pick on the app is more for people that will be arriving at the port in Seward on their own, so the check-in time that you pick on the app is likely irrelevant. Hopefully some folks that use this train service will be able to chime in and give you some insight as to what the procedure is. I would imagine that all of the train passengers will be arriving at the same time to the port and thus they will have their own dedicated check-in line at the cruise terminal (if the check-in doesn't actually happen at the Alaska Hospitality Center itself). The wellness check for vaccinated passengers simply consists of verifying that the health questions that you answered through the app at the 24-hour from sailing mark have not changed (or answering the questions if you didn't complete them in the app).

Pretty sure it was @CruisingNewb

It is very easy. There are people outside with signs for shuttle services that you can walk up to. There's also a taxi line. Additionally you can use Uber or Lyft or purchase an airport transfer through the cruiseline while onboard.
