I have used (business trip with corporate) Cruise 800 Cruiseworld, 4601 Malsbary Rd, Blue Ash, OH 45242 513-530-3133 They let me use one of my certificate from C&A on our corporate meeting (cruise) back in 2008. They were awesome.

We stayed at the Marriott Pinnacle before our cruise in July. Great hotel and it is close to the port.

I wouldn't want to end my cruise with that much stress!! It is stressful enough just knowing you have to return to the real world...

We always fly Delta and they open up 330 days (+/-) out and we were able to book ours then with no issues. If they have the aircraft chosen then you should be able to get your flight. Maybe their website is acting likes RCCL website ?

We told the front desk that we needed a taxi (van type due to our friend was using a knee scooter (heel surgery). That is when they offered to take us. It was the hotel's van I think; however, they just offered for him to take us for $25 cash. The taxi's are a first come first serve type of thing and they couldn't guarantee that we could get a van type taxi when we needed it. There were lots of taxi's at the port that can take you to the hotel.

We stayed at the Marriott Pinnacle this past July for our Radiance Northbound cruise and it was a wonderful hotel. There was a hotel employee with a shuttle that took us the the port for $25 USD cash for the 4 of us.

They have straws if you ask for one. I only got them for my frozen drinks.

We were on the Oasis in July 2017 and then the Radiance July 2018. We are 60 also and we loved both ships.

I have a Platinum AmEx that I use. I use it for most everything and just pay it off every month. It is a good way to add up the points faster too. We had enough points for all our flights for our Alaska trip a few weeks ago, except my return flight (had points for hubby though). I also get a notice on my phone immediately when I use it and I really like that feature.

I want to go in 2020; however, I was wanting to check the 2019 prices to get an idea of the pricing so that I can start saving up. The website would not continue after I put in 1 room and 2 people. So I couldn't go past that screen for some reason. I cleared out everything and still nothing.

When will the itinerary stuff be available to book? I have tried to "pretend" booking for 2019 just to get an idea of cost; however, once I enter the number of people and hit continue - the continue button does NOT work. I have cleared everything out and it still just does nothing!!

We are doing a NCL (my first with them) next November (family cruise that my son-n-law planned). I was looking at their drink package and was I ever shocked! $89 plus that does NOT included bottled water or specialty coffee and if one adult in cabin gets it then both have to. So definitely I will do the a-la-cart.

This is what I use too! I have heard too many things about the patch making you feel weird so I was afraid to try it. Bonine works good for me (I use it for flying also).

We saw All of Denali for 3 straight days. Our tour guide said we got a special treat there. The weather was perfect.

We did the Northbound from Vancouver to Seward then we did the 3-night post land tour. We got to do so much on the land tour that we really did get our monies worth. We got to ride the dome train from Talkeetna to Anchorage. The views were amazing and the food was excellent! We had AT&T signal almost the entire trip with the exception of a few hours on 2 different days on the ship and deep inside Denali National Park. We were pleasantly surprised about that. Our phones alerted us when it went to Cellular at Sea so we just turned on airplane mode; however, in a few hours when we checked - AT&T was back. The only negative thing about the Radiance was the mattress!!! It felt like plywood - no joke! Whale watching was fun too! (Sorry picture is sideways - I don't know how to fix that).

We just returned home on Monday night from the best Alaska cruise and land tour ever! We had great weather the entire time. I will do a review when I have a little more time.

On the Oasis last summer our code was in our room with we arrived.

We are doing this on our Radiance cruise departing this Friday so I will let you know how it was. I have always wanted to try it.

Yes! I read on here last year to do this and it really helped us plan stuff. I took several colors so that we knew who wanted to do what.

We were on the Oasis last July; however, our mattress looked brand new and we had no comfort issues with it. They were slowly changing out the mattresses to new ones, so I am guessing that you still had an older one.

I second the USB hub. We did that last year on the Oasis and it was great. We have iPhones, iPads, and iWatches so that made it so much better only taking up one plug in.

yes she did

We went thru AAA for our July 13th cruise to Alaska. We are getting a bottle of Champagne and priority boarding (We are Platinum so we shouldn't use that). I really have no complaints with them as I have used the same travel agent there for years. We are going with 3 other couples from 2 different states so it was helpful that she got all our stuff connected for dinner and getting our rooms all side by side. She also watched the pricing and was able to save us a little more money.

I have never gotten an email from them regarding final payment. I plan out all my payments and set reminders on my calendar.
