Taking this cruise in June and enjoyed your review very much. Just have a question I have not seen addressed on any reviews. It pertains to tipping. I have taken many large ship cruises and besides normal billed daily gratuities it is almost expected to tip the staff additional cash gratuities for, eg. bartender, room steward, room service delivery. I want to do the right thing and have no objections to providing tips in addition to "gratuities included". What is appropriate with ACL?
Thank you
Will be sailing on the Radiance Dec. 4 in the Carib and wondering when the Christmas decorations will be done. Never sailed during holiday season and thought it would be nice to see.
Will be on Radiance in December in Owners Suite. Since this is a huge splurge want to take advantage of all the perks. Does anyone know what area the reserved loungers are in the pool area? How early would I need to claim a seat?
I am going to make my airline reservation shortly and need to know about what time disembarkation is in Seattle, also time to airport. This way I can allow enough time for my departing flight.
Thank you for taking the time to investigate this. I was thinking the same thing that the older ship won't have an outlet in the secondary bedroom. This may present a problem because we have a family member on a c-pap machine at night.
Also, 2 bedroom, 2 bathroom Owners Suite, eg Radiance of the Seas. Sister and I are sailing shortly and pricing was not much higher than 2 solo, adjoining balcony cabins. Suite perks were worth the difference,
I have stayed in Grand and Owners suites on voyager class ships and this is the first time I have heard of a special section on embarkation day in WJ. Can you tell me a little more about it? I travel solo and it is hard to find seating when you are alone and can't save seats while getting food. Have tried all the techniques like tilting the chair. leaving a book but nothing seems to work. A reserved area would be so much easier.
I will sometimes get a day rate at a hotel on the beach or near sights. Rate usually is from 9a to 6p. Works well with disembarking and flights. Try dayuse.com or use a large brand website like Hilton and put in same date for check-in and check-out and day rates will pop-up. If you have a favorite hotel you can call and ask for a day rate.
