  1. I honestly don't remember any indication one way or the other but I've never had to retake at the port. I'm overdue for a haircut at the moment but as soon as I get one I plan on uploading a picture for my upcoming cruise.
  2. Just devil's advocate here, but maybe they want a more recent photo since that is what they'll be using to verify your identity once on board. There might be some logic built in where it doesn't want a picture of a picture or something. When you scan on and off the ship, at bars, etc, it's the pic you upload or get taken at the port that pops up. A passport photo could be 9+ years old depending on when your passport renewal date is. I always just take a selfie against a blank white wall in my bathroom and upload to the app. That's been accepted every time so far.
  3. The only exception to this that I can think of is the OBC that comes with redeeming the RC Credit Card points... those you can designate to be specific to the person redeeming them or to be shared although I've only ever redeemed for me so not sure how it works in practice.
  4. Only really did 2 excursions on mine ... at Bar Harbor we did the Acadia National Park tour with a stop for a full lobster lunch and in Portland Maine we went to the "Portland Headlight" lighthouse. My favorite thing to do on this cruise was to try and eat a lobster roll at each port. Had some great ones, but I think my favorite was in St. John at this little place that was directly across from the ship - Steamers maybe? Also, while not an excursion I went on my own while in Boston and took a tour of Fenway Park. If you're a baseball fan it was awesome! Well worth the price at 2x what they were charging for it.
  5. I had one on my Anthem Canada/NE cruise and will on my Hawaii -> Vancouver repositioning. It's nice to see what it's like outside without having to turn on the bridge channel on the TV. My only wish is that along with the superimposed balcony railing that they'd provide a digital temp in the corner or something. It's nice to have to make an inside cabin not feel so cave-like.
  6. There's a couple putting up semi-regular YouTube videos. Short digestable videos. Living Phase 2
  7. Typically, it begins the Alaska season after the repositioning and then in the fall will make the reverse trip down under. Unless they redeploy. I'm on the Honolulu to Vancouver trip this year and the passengers getting on in Vancouver will be doing the first Alaskan cruise of the season.
  8. I'm just staying one night in Waikiki. Couldn't resist a quick stopover on the 9th Island (Las Vegas) on the way out
  9. Actually as you're going around towards the back of the aqua theater there are stairs there that will take you down to the jogging track level. There are often Adirondak chairs there to sit and take in those wake views. Pretty quiet spot for sitting and reading, except in the morning and late afternoon when people are likely to be getting their jog or walk in. Even then it's not that noisy, just a passing pedestrian.
  10. I can vouch for the salmon bake excursion in Juneau. Cooked over an open flame, the salmon was really good and you can eat as much as you want! The sides, desserts and atmosphere are all very cool as well. Really enjoyed it.
  11. Agree - I hit it on my Anthem cruise on embarkation day for the roast beef sandwich and to avoid the Windjammer. We also did breakfast there several times - especially on port days just to grab something quick on the way to getting off the ship. On my upcoming Ovation cruise, I'll be using it too. Most likely on embarkation day and occasionally for a quick bite for lunch. Two70 is such a great venue during the day. Love the views and relative quietness.
  12. I'll be onboard as well. Just got the email today. Under the circumstances, I'm ok with the change.
  13. It's not as simple as buying it pre-cruise and getting credited back the value of the one free day. Doesn't work that way. What you'll get is a free day on a second device for you or someone else in your party to use. As I sail solo most often that doesn't do much for me. Since I don't really need to be connected for work, I just like to have it to stay in touch back home in case of emergencies, especially on the longer cruises. On my upcoming cruise, since I'll be in US ports the first part of the trip, I'll just use my phone and data when in port and wait until we begin the crossing over to Vancouver to purchase the internet. Buying it on the first of the 5 consecutive sea days, will get me 5 days for the price of 4. While the onboard price per day will be more than it would be in the planner my overall cost won't be as much.
  14. What was the magnet? Was it a duck? If so, I think I can see the reason for confusion.
