Thank you

Thank you for this info

We are not planning on getting any kind of drink package this cruise.  If we brought water bottles how would I go about getting them filled on the Anthem OTS?

I'm sorry - I didn't mean to "stir the pot".  Just make a comment and then it went sideways.  Never had an intention to state it was happening, just that I hoped it would not.

I hope the no ice shows isn't happening on other ships.  We're on the Oasis and Liberty this spring and I was really looking forward to the ice shows.

We went there last Sept.  The hotel shuttle dropped us off and there were baggage handlers right there loading onto the carts.  Then you walk straight to the terminal doors - not far at all.  We are not suite guests, but the line moved very quickly and the process went very smoothly.  Through security check, walked up to the RC rep.  (we did all the precheck requirements on the app) done in minutes.  Then onto boarding.  Easy peasy.  I was worried before going because I did see a vlog that showed a long line outside of the terminal of people waiting to get into the building.  We had an 11:00 boarding time, so maybe that's why it wasn't too bad.  Hope it goes as smoothly for you.

Thank you for this info - Will go ahead and book then!

Last Fall we sailed on Ovation and had a 3 night dining package.  When trying to get reservation for Chopps reservations were scarce.  If I purchase the Chopps lunch from planner but can't get reservation (since lunch is only on sea days) what happens?  Sailing again this spring.  Thanks for the help.

After watching a couple of videos it appears there are no porters at the Seattle port and bags are just left to the side.  Is this correct?  Also it seemed very disorganized.  Anyone go through there recently?

Thank for the information.  I will see how traditional dining vs MTD is for us.  Then we can determine for future cruises what we prefer.

So this may be a silly question but I'm not sure.  I had MTD on my last cruise.  This cruise we opted for the 5:15 seating.  Does that mean we just show up on any given night that we are eating in the main dining room, or do we need to make reservation, and if we have dinner at specialty restaurant do we need to let them know we are not coming?

Thanks Matt.  

I filled out the orange application on the home page and I heard back from Jenn Greene.  Wondering if anyone is familiar with her?

I'm travelling to Alaska in Sept.  If anyone does or has done the "Best of Skagway" excursion could you please post your opinion on if it was worth it.  Thank you in adavance.

Assuming this has to be true, but hate to assume anything.

Has anyone ever used Whatsapp?  Thinking of giving this a try.

We are cruising in 3 weeks and last week the 4yr old was + for covid.  PCR test done, and we'll get a certificate of recovery from her MD.  Does anyone know if  this means she no longer needs to do 3 day prior and at port testing?

All the more reason I hope they release some.

I just sent in my reimbursement form.  Get a reimbursement form from your insurance carrier online, print a copy of both the charged email and the Rx approval from emed (that's your prescription) and submit by mail.  Waiting to see how much my insurance pays me still.

I was excited to see sailings out of Boston.  We live very close and would love to sail from this port.  I see a few for fall 2022 but none in 2023.  Is it just to early - not released schedule yet? Any thoughts.

Thank you.  

Any recommendations which side of the ship may be best for Alaska sailings from Seattle.  I realize sailing to and from you will see both views from balcony.  I was thinking more of seeing Glaciers and ports.

Thank you for that suggestion.  That's a great idea, will do that.

We are driving to port, so no TSA.  Am I allowed through the terminal checks with medications OTC and prescription out of original packaging?  I would like to use daily med organizer instead.  I thought I heard this was ok, but I just want to confirm.  Thanks for your help.

Last September I saw a few vloggers that went to Alaska.  Check out youtube to get a feel for it.  We're going in September too but on the 9th.
