I thought I read somewhere on this forum that you could change from a refundable deposit to a no refundable to save money closer to your sailing date. When are booked on the ovation in July( a jr suite and a balcony)and our final payment is due next month. How close to the final payment should I do it and is it worth it? 

We are going on the Ovation in July.  What is a really good Glacier and Whale watching excursion? We are booked for the Alaska's whales, glaciers and rainforest trails excursion. I looked at it on YouTube but I can't tell if you get time walking on the trails at the Mendenhall Glacier or it you just look at it for a distance. Has anyone done the excursion? My husband wants to see the Nugget Falls  near the Glacier and ours daughters want to whale watch.  TIA

We are cruising to Alaska in August. We have always driven to the cruise ports and this is our first time flying.  The ship gets back to Seattle at 6:00am on 8/5/22.  Most of the return flights back to PA leave Seattle in the morning.  There are a few that leave around 10:00pm but that is too late.  Royal(air2sea) is telling me that I have to schedule a flight that leaves after 11:30am to ensure that I get to the airport in time because it takes 3 hours to dock and get everyone off the ship.  I would like to take a return flight that leaves the airport at 10:30am and that would get us home to PA by midnight. My husband doesn't want to take the chance and miss our flight.  Also, the other family we are going with and taking the same flights with is staying in Star Class, can their Genie get us off the ship sooner?   thanks

We are scheduled for the Vision in March to the Southern Caribbean and have a booked a nice  corner aft jr suite with the larger balcony.  I wouldn't mind quarantining in that cabin but I think you are moved to  "covid deck" right?  I am very clausterphobic and can not be in an interior room. Then my husband would get to stay in the jr suite?  I know March is still a ways away and they canceled cruises until the beginning of March for the Vision of the Seas. 

Well I did call Royal Caribbean and according to the customer service representative, the cruise is still happening. They are hoping that by October Canada will allow cruising.  

I never received an email about canceling. I just received an email in Feb stating that they were looking at different options. I will have to call. 

We have a  Canada & New England cruise scheduled 10/6-10/16/21  and final payment is due this week. Has anyone heard anything about the fall cruises and being able to go to Canada?    My husband thinks that they may shorten the cruise or go to different ports. We booked a great aft Jr Suite and I so want to go on the cruise! 

Thanks.  I booked it!

I know the cabins on deck 6 are obstructed by the life boats on the Ovation of the Seas. Is  Jr suite cabin 7236 have any obstruction?  My husband  is concerned there are life boats  under the balcony.   I didn't think it did because its on the "hump".   thanks

We are booked on the Ovation of the Seas in July 2022 to go to Alaska. Currently, I am in a large balcony room but am contimplating going up to a Jr Suite for the extra crown and anchor points.  I would like to stay on deck 8 or 9 because  I have family staying in the Royal Loft suite 8320.  There are some available Jr suites but they are near the elevator.  Do you hear a lot of noise?  

I am also booked on a NE/Canada cruise in October on the Enchantment for our 25th Wedding Anniversary. I am hoping that they take the 9 days cruise down to 7 days.  I was also wondering if I should book another cruise just in case this one gets canceled because I REALLY want to go somewhere for our anniversary. 

We have been using the RC credit card for several years now. We use the OBC option and it has paid for a lot of shore excursions and beverage packages. The extra OBC also gives us more freedom to purchase some things onboard that we may not of budgeted for. 

I am currently booked in a large balcony on the Ovation.  My husband wants to look at a Jr suite near the stairs and elevator 8622 or  8624.  Is it too noisy by the stairs and elevators?  How are these cabins?    thanks

Each time I have cruised, I have never had a passport.  I just had my Drivers License and SeaPass each time we got on and off the ship.  We have cruised to Bahamas, Bermuda, Jamaica, Mexico and Grand Cayman.   I am going to Alaska/Canada in June and looking into the passport card because we are going to Canada. 

Thanks for the pictures!

I just booked a  Canada and New England Cruise for October 2021 in JR Suite  cabin 7666 hoping to see some good fall foliage.  I am looking forward to the aft balcony! Has anyone stayed in this cabin? Did you hear a lot of noise?  thanks

We are going on the Ovation of the Seas in June to Alaska.  We would like to try Skagway on our own and go hiking.  Does anyone know how far it is from the cruise port to the Yakutania Point?  I did google it but it didn't look that far. It says 1 hour roundtrip but I am not sure how long it takes to get there from the cruise port.   Has anyone ever walked there?   Thanks

Thanks for the help!

What is the best means of transportation for 5  from the cruise port in Seattle to the airport?  The Seattle express which is $20 pp.  Do you think an Uber would be cheaper? Thanks

Thanks.  Did you enjoy the hike?  

We will be on the Ovation in June and doing the Mendenhall Glacier trail hike.  For anyone who has done the hike, what are the best shoes?  I was looking at a pair of hiking sneakers but my husband thinks boots.   

Has anyone done this excursion?  Does it take you on the railroad? On my cruise planner, it shows a picture of a railroad but in the description it states that "you board a comfortable vehicle".  thanks

thanks. Did you need hiking boots or are sneakers ok?  

Has anyone gone on this excursion?  Did you like it?  My husband and kids like to hike.

We are taking an Alaskian Glacier cruise in June 2020.  At this time, we have connecting balconies for us and our children on deck 8,  8524 & 8526. Our other family is staying the Owner's loft 8720 and interior cabin  8707.   I booked 8524 & 8526 because they were the only connecting cabins open deck 8 but its a long walk to the other cabins.  I was looking at other available cabins today and connecting cabins are open on deck 10, 10294 & 10296.  My husband thinks deck 10 will be better because its higher and close to the aft of the ship. Does that matter?  Are forward cabins more prone to sea sickness?
