Honestly, I don't remember. I did give the employee some money when he took my bag. I know I got some of my questions answered here. Canada (Alaska/Pacific Coastal) Cruises Q&A: Find Tips & Recommendations - Cruise Critic Message Board Forums My room was $372 American when I booked it for October of 2023.

I stayed at Canada Place last October the day before my cruise. A bit pricey but a nice stay. They will also pick up your bag and take it to the bag drop off. I would stay there again.

Gee. I guess I'm missing out. I have a DA cabin in the sphere on deck 15 and sailing on 10/14/24. It's just unfortunate that Princess can't make up their mind. I'm on a cruise, sailing on a new ship and class. Whatever.

Will be at the Embassy Suites on the 26th with my daughter and her family. Will be jumping on a competitor's ship for a 7-day cruise. My daughter, son-in-law and 3 grandkids very excited. Third time for the adults first time for the grandkids. Have a great cruise.

I'm booked on the Star out of Ft. Lauderdale for a 5/7 b2b on 11/10/25.

Thank you. I just saw this and was going to post.

Love the NASA stickers.

Love my wrist band. Sometimes I have a problem getting the scanner to recognize the medallion when I'm leaving the ship. I hear the air tag bands work also. There is one you can get that attaches to your watch band. On my last cruise a lot of people were wearing the lanyards.

@smwg is correct. If you use a gift card keep that card or cards until after your cruise. I had 4 cruises booked for 2020 and was using gift cards to pay for those cruises in 2019. When those cruises got cancelled everything went back to the gift cards. If I had thrown those cards away in early 2019 I would have been out a lot of money. Also, the gift cards don't expire. I used some of those gift cards from 2019 to pay for a couple of cruises this year. @AZjohn I'm planning on using a gift card towards OBC once I get on the ship. I've heard that sometimes guest services have a problem getting the card attached to your account. Just an FYI for some that would like to do that.

Just a bit off topic. So, my daughter and her husband are going on a cruise and booked an evening at the Crown Grill. My son-in-law asked if they should leave a tip after dinner. I have no idea since I haven't dined in these venues. Opinions please.

I would think Uber would be fine as long as they can manage all of your luggage.

Makes perfect sense. Enjoy your cruise.

I'm just curious why you would want to wash the clothes from your land portion, unless you plan to wear some during your cruise. Every time we did Alaska we packed two bags. One for the land portion and the other for the cruise. Oh, and at least one carry-on. 🙂

@sadiwest For the most part I have had good luck with EZAir. I have had no problem booking a flight a day early and I wouldn't think two days early would be a problem. You have a pretty good selection of flights and times. They don't offer budget airlines. Also depending on the airline, you can't pick your seats until final payment. I don't remember which airlines. A few years ago, I used EZAir for flights to and from Fort Lauderdale. I noticed that our flights had gotten cheaper by about $200. I was able to rebook with no fees.

I was on the Crown in October and the washer and dryer were free. But you had to purchase detergent and dryer sheets. Most people pack laundry pods and dryer sheets. Also keep an eye on the time for the washer and dryer. You don't want someone to remove your clothes and leave them on top of the one shelf or the dryer still wet or not totally dry. Also, if you can try to clean the dryer filter. It helps. Enjoy your cruise. @Callista_R welcome to cruise critic.
