Aug 28. I found that thread over on the social media page about the Kayak cancellation. Someone asked if it was because of "timing" and that that particular excursion set for 1:15 just minutes after arrival? So even on that thread confusion exists as to what's cancelled and what's not. Hoping we can get some real info pertaining to that here. I had originally planned to do the blue bus. Then switched to taxi to the visitor center then hoof it to the falls. Not sure if that can be done now???? I was up there about 20 years ago and we couldn't even turn toward Endicot due to mass calving, Icebergs and also flood issues . That trip we did a helicopter up to the glacier that wasn't affected.

First they stopped the blue bus runs to Mendenhall. Ok people booked alternates that include other activities or others choosing to rent cars or hire taxis. Now we had some dam break and flood the area. On other social media I saw at least a kayak tour was cancelled but didn't see what date it was for. I'd imagine that more cancellations have happened or will be. Anybody hear anything we could use this thread as an information pool.

I did Alaska Airlines last time Loved em...

I have had it a few times. Each time bought it very close to price for two devices internet. Final cost to me very little net. My fiancé loves it. That line around the building? Not with the key. Right inside and right on! Nice quiet lunch away from the Windjammer stampede. Carry on bags at room. No wait for stuff. No problem getting in shows. Good seats. >>>> All that stuff that comes with a suite.... I see it list for like $47 each a day on upcoming cruise? We got in way way lower. Never in a million years would it be worth that $47 tag. If you already have a suite, do not throw your money away to get the same perks you basically already have. If we did or do get a suite, the Key is not on the "must list"... If you're stuffed in some dungeon and its priced about that of internet access alone? Go ahead...

Once upon a time I was a pretty decent photographer. That was in dinosaur days with film and stuff. Today there is a new breed and hoping that you, fellow cruisers could point me in the right direction. I see "bridge" cameras that have good pricing. I actually had a couple. Most of the older ones had CD's you ran to get the computer to be able to read. I'm seeing newer that run a SD card...? I think that is something you stick in one of the ports on computer or have a card reader? This basically means no matter what I gotta wait til I get back home to my computer to transfer. Then we get to the "adult cameras"... DSLR. Looking at a camera package by Canon. That one comes with a regular lens and a telephoto 75-300... I see under connectivity "Wi-Fi and NFC"... I have no clue what NFC means. Wi Fi has me curious? Does that mean it has the capability of transmitting images to my cell phone directly or to somebody else back in the states? If this were possible it might be the deciding factor. Fiancé wants to send steady stream of Alaska pics to daughter back home in college.

I always tip extra... Most times 50 to each in the dining room then 50 to cabin attendant.

Recently I have been having problems on a regular basis with it not letting me enter with "stored Id and Password. Each time its making me type in both? The app works ok on my phone though.

I have always prepaid tips before cruising. I have done it the old fashioned ways of either right at booking time or on the phone a couple weeks before. I was wondering if there was a way to go on line and get it done instead of waiting forever on the phone?

I prepay just to get over and done with. I hate a big bill getting off the ship. A couple nick nacks from the shops on board is ok but Tacking on $32 time 7 days Is $224 that I don't want gnawing at me when I just got done having a great week.

We get "that privilege" with our "Key". Wouldn't know about suites. On Oasis they were having problems with the gangway in Port Canaveral. We mentioned "Key" and we were escorted to what I'm guessing was a freight gangway down on deck 2. No waiting on taxis or anything. Rapid on and off the ship...

EBAY has them from time to time... Not sure about NZ but I have done lots of transactions on there with Australians... Royal Caribbean Company Quantum of the Seas cruise ship model Collection model | eBay

I enjoy MDR but it might be fun to try something different...

Quantum .... Part of our group is in 11632 (JS) Some in 11628 (Shows OV Balcony 2D but they got "suite" status as well) The two connect. There is a third interior room that could connect as well but nobody in it that we know.

Figured its a big nothing but still fun to dream a little....

Thats why I ask. I don't really need "pampering" but don't want to miss out on stuff if somehow I've become eligible...

Appears to be a junior... I think. It connects to a balcony and interior???

Been 20 years or so since I did a suite. Recently did an upgrade from dungeon to at least something with a terrace that we might actually see water and sky. Among the things that changed was 'Category' per printed sea pass to "Suite". On the app "Class ... suite". It has no "Star" "genie" or "Concierge" designation just "suite". Does this get us anything? I'm guessing bathrobe use maybe but no idea what else. Its my understanding that the "suite lounge" is for way high up classes. Concierge? No idea... Does suite get coastal kitchen or chefs table type stuff?

Not sure...Closest to the port... Mahual?

Home run! I'm a happy person once again!!!!!

I hope so... Any other cruise I wouldn't care near as much. Without getting into details (personal) this one is hyper important.

It does up til your bid has been approved... but I don't want to cancel. I want a different room than the nightmare one they assigned...

After several rounds of having my bids cancelled, due to "changes in reservation" I was able to bid about 3-4days ago. I bid on 3 classes. Just checked status. The one I really wanted is showing "Pending". The other two are showing expired? They were supposed to be 7 day but were shortened? Does the "Pending" mean I will be getting one in that category, or does it mean something else like the bid is pending to get in the queue? Its really important, without getting into details, that I get something other than the hole we got stuffed in...

I have sailed a couple times under the new menu. One night we skipped out to do the Solarium Bistro but that was for a change of pace. The food in mdr is just fine (no not 5 start but more than "adequate") and if you look hard enough you will find most of the classics available each night or at least most...

Whats confusing is that they only added that option yesterday??? Same exact time as RCL started selling "GTY balconies".
