Cruising With JT Posted May 23, 2021 Report Share Posted May 23, 2021 With the recent news of Royal Caribbean going to Alaska, I am wondering if anyone has already decided to book on one of these cruises? I am tempted to do a Solo room on one of the sailings since for me it's right in my backyard, 40 minute drive to Cruise Terminal here in Seattle...not too bad... and no flying... We went on Ovation in 2019 and had a wonderful time...it was with 10 others including my family...this time it would just be me for 7 nights...decision decisions... It's around $2500 for the week in a studio oceanview balcony cabin... I also have Odyssey solo booked in mid-November and then Navigator solo out of LA in early December... yay Baked Alaska 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PPPJJ-GCVAB Posted May 23, 2021 Report Share Posted May 23, 2021 Check out the Roll Call section. Looks like there is at least one sailing in August with a few 'bloggers' taking the trip. Cruising With JT 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CruiseGus Posted May 23, 2021 Report Share Posted May 23, 2021 Yes, we are going to try to get one in on the 20th. guess worst case scenario, is Royal cancels on us and i ask for a full refund. Cruising With JT 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GaryAA Posted May 23, 2021 Report Share Posted May 23, 2021 Yes, we have been booked on the August 20th cruise since last year. We were considering canceling our reservation a few months ago but glad we did not. Cruising With JT 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MicDay Posted May 23, 2021 Report Share Posted May 23, 2021 Would it be crazy to book an Alaska cruise for August/Sept either dates work for us for 2021 when we already have a 8 nighter booked for May 2022? Poor Kelley my TA from MEI might be getting another email if I can convince Hubby. Flights from NC to Seattle are not bad at all and currently the cruise is not a bad price and I've wanted to go to Alaska for a very long time. Thoughts?

Is your May 2022 cruise to Alaska as well? I haven't seen 8-night itineraries before but may have overlooked some options. MicDay 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We've been twice already but easy for us since it's a quick drive to port. Baked Alaska 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Ship or the itinerary or ?? Kelley my awesome TA has a hold for me on the Sept 20th sailing on the Serenade but the Ovation is only about $100 more for same cabin. Haven't even checked with my husband yet, reminds me of @Lovetocruise2002, she just books things and then tells her husband. Wonder if I can get away with it, like you guys said YOLO!!!
