    We booked third party excursions for all ports and I contacted them when I found out about the itinerary changes.
    They refunded our IPS excursion and they are looking to see if the time for our Juneau excursion can be adjusted.

    No matter how much I kick, scream, or tie myself to a stool at the Schooner Bar, they make sure I'm gone by about 9:30-10:00am.

    Why would anyone post their entire question in the title of their post??  See, everybody’s different!!😁

    SPS got a reaction from ellcee in RCI Withholding entire deposit for cancelations   
    Do I like it? No, but, I've always known this when booking as it's been policy for a long time when choosing a non-refundable deposit (NRD) when booking.
    As, @jticarruthers stated, this is one of the many reasons to look into trip insurance. I didn't used to buy trip insurance, but, with travel being such a gamble these days, I find it essential.

    Right. I had heard somewhere around here that they'll have RC branded ID Badges/Lanyards or possibly shirts/reflective vests.

    I bid just a bit over minimum for a balcony room for our January Odyssey sailing and my bid was accepted exactly two weeks before the sail date. I figured our low bid was accepted pretty easily because the sailing was only at 60% capacity.
    Just for the heck of it, I made a one notch above minimum bid for a balcony on our upcoming Quantum sailing and surprisingly, our bid was just accepted this morning! (18 days ahead of the sailing) I figured with ships sailing at or near capacity that there was no way it would be accepted.

    Honestly, I didn't think it was bad at all.
    The biggest piece of advice I can give anyone about this terminal is that ride share and most shuttles can only take you to a certain point at the terminal.  The walk from drop off is NOT bad at all.  I think it took us all but 7 minutes, if that.  If I remember correctly, some shuttles can take you a bit closer to the terminal building, but because of foot traffic, supply truck traffic, and other traffic, I say just walk it.
    Also, the bathroom facilities outside the building are limited.  There are 2 bathrooms on the Royal Caribbean side where the line begins.  
    If you read any of my posts, once 10:45am rolled around, it took us all but 20 minutes or so before we were on the ship with cocktail in hand.

    I'm wondering this as well. We sail from there on Quantum on 8/22/22 and I read about the same issues and disorganization.
    From what the Port of Seattle website has listed, Ovation and Celebrity Solstice always dock on the same day which may be why there are such problems since the pier area seems very small to have to handle the activity of two LARGE ships embarking/debarking each Friday.
    On the other hand, Quantum and two Carnival ships look to have Pier 91 to themselves on embarkation/debarkation days.

    How was terminal 91?  The first few Alaskan sailing guests on Ovation OTS from Seattle reported it was very disorganized and they encountered long slow lines.  For those that have been through it recently has it improved?  We will experience it next week.

    I think the Viking Lounge on Freedom is such an underutilized space!   Great views up there.   I agree with finding a bartender that you like.

    While Adventure does have a Solarium, it does not have a Solarium Bistro. It is exclusive to Oasis and Quantum class ships.

    This doesn't seem to work in the new Cruise Planner. In the new Cruise Planner calendar, the "+Add Activity" only gives you a pulldown list (Excursion, Dining, etc.) to select from that leads you to a list of items to purchase in each category.
