I have been crushing for 25 years and cruises have improved dramatically in every way. People make such negative comments but I guess I'm lucky in that my experience has only improved. That's why I bought the stock, again luckily at a dirt cheap price. I remember over the years watching many cruisers getting this entitled angry attitude over time. We called them the angry cruisers. I guess many are still around.

RCI has been an absolutely fantastic investment and the shareholder benefit is totally icing on the cake.

I'm actually on Solstice September of 2026 going to Alaska. On the Celebrity app it still shows the cruise. I guess we'll have to see if anything changes. I do expect a Celebrity ship to move to Galveston but it's just a guess and I have no idea when.

The solution really is simple. If you're worried, stay home. This thread should be locked because it's turned into fear mongering and propaganda.

It will be interesting to see if anything changes. People may travel abroad less which may actually increase cruise demand. I've been amazed over the years how much people will spend on vacations and entertainment, think $1,000 concert tickets. Only time will tell. These are all just guesses.

Not for political reasons but I would love to bypass Canada on the way to Alaska. Everyone fear mongers but I think good changes could come. If you're worried about a certain port or country, and let's be serious, most are 3rd world and dangerous, stay on the ship.

There will be many Icon and Edge ships. I don't think it's a matter of if but when. Just my opinion.

You are correct. So, do they have facial recognition and is disembarkation time the same? Thanks

Thanks.

Does anyone know what time they start disembarkation at Long Beach. We will be on Quantum. Also, do they have facial recognition? We just got back from Orlando and we were off the ship by 7:00. It was our earliest ever.

You might be correct but it would sure be nice to get extra days in Alaska. I guess we'll just have to wait and see.

I think it's great news. I'm sure a lot of people enjoy stopping in Canada but I would love extra time in Alaska instead. I think this is totally positive for cruising as the cruise lines would have a choice and so would cruisers. You could chose a cruise that stops in Canada or go straight to Alaska.

Great to hear. Thank you.

Are ubers readily available?

Thanks. That's very helpful.
