Do they love the beach or are they more into a great park? We are hoping to take my 18 year old son to Alaska in June. He already missed out on a normal senior year and is having a weird freshmen experience in college. He is looking forward to Alaska but also wants to visit Norway some day.

No,not looking to outwit anyone. Have some non-RCL tours booked for Alaska and wanted to know if I could keep them.

It says guests have to take RCL excursions or verified excursions. Does this mean we can take non-RCL excursions?

I am ok with enforcing boarding times. My next cruise is out of Alaska so will just get more time to sightsee.

We took my then 13 year old son to Europe and sailed out of Civitavecchia. We spent 3 days in Rome and the night before the cruise in Civitavecchia. Definitely, recommend getting to your embarkation port at least 2 days prior to your cruise if coming from the US.

I would guess it would be the Mariner of the Seas but it could be Harmony!

I am confused there is no quarantine in Alaska as long as you have a negative covid test within 72 hours of flying. My cruise is from Seward to Vancouver. If its doesnt sail, will do a road trip in Alaska only.

Oh no, sorry I wasn’t clear. I meant I would fly to Alaska and then pickup a rental car.

I just read the article. The govt official said cruise ships wouldn’t be allowed unless changes were made. What changes do you think he is referring to and by whom?

Planning an Alaska road trip as a backup if my Radiance sailing gets cancelled in June.

Following. Thanks for posting.

Each cruise line has different things they are known for. Royal is known for a roast beef sandwich called the Kummel wick which is served at Park Cafe. You should try it. That said if having a BLT is a make or break item for your vacation, then maybe it's best to stick to Carnival.

I am finding it difficult to get much information on this port. Has anyone been there? Is the marina and boardwalk close to the new port in Limassol?

I have sailed out of Rome. Actually, the port is Civitavecchia which is over an hour from Rome. There is a train you can take. The company is called Trenitalia. https://www.thetrainline.com/en/train-times/civitavecchia-to-roma-termini I actually took a tour with a company called Rome Cabs. http://www.romecabs.com/tours/rome-in-a-day-from-civitavecchia/

Yes, see the cruise compass link below. https://www.royalcaribbeanblog.com/cruise-compasses/liberty-of-the-seas/sun-2018-12-16-0000

I would pick either the Edge to the Med or Freedom of the Seas to the Southern Caribbean. You've already done Oasis class with Harmony. Symphony isn't that different. So, Edge or Freedom is a different class. Edge looks awesome but Freedom might be more economical.

We took the 7 day Pride of America out of Honolulu. This was the best way for us to see as much of Hawaii as possible by cruise. There are no sea days. You are at Hawaii every single day. The ship is ok but who cares you are off it every day seeing Hawaii. Alternatively, if you are loyal to Royal, I would book a post cruise stay in Oahu for at least 3 days.
