  1. Two at the moment. Looking to book one more.
  2. We have never tried it, because we get reward points for staying at certain hotels. Taxi to the pier is $40, no matter where you are picked up in Seattle. If you book through RCI, do you get any choice in the hotel or room? Is their price the same as you would pay for booking the same hotel? We always book our own. We prefer king size beds. If we plan on being in the room more than overnight, we like a mini frig and microwave. Make sure you know exactly what RCI is offering.
  3. If there are two people in the cabin, purchasing the one device package simply means you can not both be logged in at the same time. Basically you are paying for 1 log in ID and password.
  4. We have a short extension cord with 3 outlets and 3 USB ports. Never had a problem with it in our carry on. Ships are starting to put in USB ports in the cabins now. The trick is to find them. ?
  5. We have had cabins with an adjoining room and it hasn't been louder.
  6. Don't know about children. As soon as I posted that, I got to wondering when we have ever had to have another form of ID in addition to the passport, and could not think of one. So forget that. I haven't had any coffee yet. ? Have a terrific time!
  7. Just your passport and one other form of ID. Most people use their drivers license.
  8. Thanks for sharing that! I always figured that all-inclusives would be more restrictive than cruising. We would never consider a resort, because we do not do beaches. We don't lay ut by the pool on the ship either. Very detailed review!
  9. We are sailing on Adventure, October 7. It is 13 days, starts in Quebec City and ends in Ft. Lauderdale. We are excited because we have never sailed Canada/New England before. It had to be the right ports, because we get all the Fall colors we want right here at home. This is a Snowbird repositioning cruise and is the same price as their 9 day cruise that ends in New Jersey.
  10. We have been on 3 Alaska cruises (two were land/cruise), but not on RCI. 2 of the cruises were in May and we think that is the best time to do this cruise. Much more wild life. Lots of whales getting fat before they head to Hawaii, because they do not eat on the way. Two started from Alaska and ended in Vancouver. One was Seattle round trip. If you can do a land/cruise, that would be the way to go, because you get to spend some time in Denali and you get to ride the Alaskan Railroad. If you are going to start in Alaska, be sure to check out Alyeska Resort and Hotel. Best hotel we have ever stayed at and it is actually affordable at that time of year.
  11. Our February, 2020 cruise(s) are really up in the air. It could end up being a 7 day cruise from either Tampa or Miami. But it could also be side by side from Tampa OR one Tampa and 1 Miami.
  12. We use wide red tape for the black suitcase and wide black tape for the red suitcase. It hasn't mattered much as we have yet to see any suitcases that look like ours. This is really handy when disembarking when you have all the suitcases grouped together.
  13. Our bags a pretty distinctive. Hard case, but extra precautions are a good idea.
  14. I wouldn't do it, if it involves flying, because too many bad things can happen. Being as close as you are, you could probably do it no problem. Why not just drive?
  15. That is a good idea, thanks! Probably could attach them to the luggage for the flight home, too.
  16. Very basically, 10 days beats 7 days. Depends on how bad you want to see the Mediterranean. Even then, wouldn't you want it to be longer, if you are going to go to all the expense to get over there? Whatever you decide, have a good cruise!
  17. We live in N. WI and always sail in Feb. Great break from winter.
  18. Yup, just head to the ship. Personally, we would never fly in the day of the cruise, but it is what it is. The worst that can happen is that you sit at the terminal until your time. I highly doubt that will happen. Happy cruising!
  19. 23 cruises and I don't remember ever having an uncomfortable mattress.
  20. Whatever you choose, enjoy!
  21. We chose deck 7, just aft of the hump, for our October cruise. Cabins above and below. Close to the Windjammer, not so close to Schooner.
  22. That would be part of the drink package, not the refreshment package.
  23. Radiance is our favorite ship. If you have an excursion to the Kenaii Fjords, that was awesome!
  24. Check out You Tube videos for Navigator. Everything is going to look crowded when you first embark, because most of the pax are trying to funnel in to the one deck. But it things out pretty quick. Happy cruising! It is addicting.
  25. I uninstalled the app and started over. It works fine now, but looks basically worthless until you ger to within 4 months of the cruise date.
