We stayed at the PanPacific in Vancouver the night before our Alaska cruise. There is definitely something to be said for a pre-cruise splurge for a hotel. Your vacation starts when you leave your house, why not enjoy the time before you board?

Is this roll call for the April 22 - April 29, 2023 sailing? If so, count us in!

Just two more days! I hope everyone has tested negative and is ready to go!

Congratulations!

But resharing with other people is what keeps the culture of this blog/message board going!

I'd say that's a healthy way to make sure you haven't missed a step!

Could it really be this easy? Since it's in the NYC Distortion Zone I sort of assumed it would be a far greater hassle!

Having extra Future Cruise Credits on hand, my wife and I just "YOLO" booked the Thanksgiving cruise aboard Anthem. So, let's talk Turkey!

That's awesome! Though it's sad news that your train trip got cancelled, I'm glad to meet a veteran of a Radiance Alaska cruise!! There's a small-ish group on FB for the cruise, just search for Radiance of the Seas, June 17th. I hope switching cruises hasn't messed up your airline reservations too much!

My wife and I are sailing on Radiance on the northbound route on the 17th.... please don't mess the ship up too much.... I hope you have an awesome time on your pre-tour and the cruise! Are you planning on doing anything in Vancouver after the cruise?

This is the cruise my wife and I booked for ... 2020, then 2021, and now (knock on wood) 2022. Who's with us??

I do have on board credit.... It's almost worth while booking a cruise without on board credit to see if it acts better....

I have been getting this as well. I have tried different browsers, disabled extensions, etc. The stupid thing is it gets the language in step 1. Why does Royal Caribbean test changes to their website... in production??

You summed it up better than I could. If the things that make cruising such an attractive vacation option are removed or reduced, is it worth it?

I'd say there's no wrong answer here. For some (like me) the compromises will likely outweigh the fun and joy of cruising for a "normal"-ish cruise with ports of call. But if it's an "out and back" to Coco Key or Labadee, I'd be far more likely go because I don't think I'd have the feeling of "missing out".
