Fortress of the Bear from our May 2022 cruise. You will get to see Eagles, Black Bears and the Costal brown Bear

This year's bears. Yes I did catch the Bear unloading. Wulfwyn

Both times Ketchikan. This last time in August we saw over 20 bears. It's the Bear Walk. Unfortunately I not able to pull it up on RCL website Black Bear, Wildlife & Nature Walk.

2021 August Cruise

Our cruise was Aug 12-19 2022. We have gone to Alaska in August 2013, Rain Ketchikan, Juneau Sunny and 80, Skagway cloudy. Majestic Princess 2021 Rained all thru cruise. Ovation OTS 2022 Rained in Ketchikan also we had to dock at Ward cove. Rained for Juneau. Skagway cloudly. Sunny in Victoria. Eclipse 2023 Cloudly for Icy Stait point, Hubbard Glacier rain, Juneau cloudly. Ketchikan nice and sunny. Mix bag of weather. Temperatures 70 For your Endicott Arm experience. I highly recommended to do the small boat experience. Yes it is experience, but will worth it to get up close to the glacier. You will meet your ship back in Juneau as the Ovation is just docked and still have the full port day in Juneau.

Alaska will always deliver. Last year we went 3 times. Royal Princess May 2022 early season RCL Ovation OTS August 2022 mid season NCL Encore Oct 2022 late season. This year Celebrity Eclipse August 2023. We did this to get the fill of 3 new lines to us. Princess has been our primary line before covid. Of the 4 lines, RCL would be our last choice to cruise with. We have a great price for the cruise. We had friends joined us on that trip. Food OK, Lots of families with kids. To us, the layout of the ship felt crowded in some areas. Lines for everything. As to the website, for looking for deals, yes you have to check all the time for flash sales. This not for price of cruise. It's for sales on excursions, dining, beverage packages Like your water package, I got a 24 bottles for $14. Excursions up to 35% off. So watch for those deals. Next year we are back to Alaska for early season, was planning on a Holland America cruise, except the itinerary was changed from Glacier Bay to Endicott Arm. So we changed to NCL Encore. Wulfwyn

We had ours tickets issued at 100 days before cruise. Was really surprised. Our friends who are cruising a month before us to Galveston got theirs the same day as ours. Wulfwyn

So my question is once you receive email stating you have the shareholder OBC, can you use it to pay for excursions now. Cruise in 2024. I know Princess, Carnival, RCL and Celebrity allow you to do that. Instead of making you wait until your are on board like NCL. Also Veterans OBC. I called to get it applied to 2024 cruise and was told I had to wait until 2024 to get it applied. I have a 1 day cruise next month and have the OBC for that one. Wulfwyn

Just got off the Eclipse, learned you have to upgrade to premium to see or post on Instagram. On basic plan, I could not send or receive texts. That was only on the premium plan. Wulfwyn

It's the best time to go for all the snow is still out on the mountains and Glacier Bay

That is how it has worked for us. Hubby gets the shareholder and I get the military obc. When we pay for excursions before the cruise, it pulled from both obc. So I always make sure to submit his shareholder paperwork as soon as I booked.

What deck were you on

Store suitcases under the beds.

Was also on this cruise, Lines for dinner. Venues crowded. Ran out of our preferred white wine. Notice more price hike for Moderno and Teppanyaki. Last I saw it was $49. Found out it went up to $59 per person. Tina

We were able to get the 2 day deviation for our September 2024.

I used my kindle to gain access to my booking. Try that or a tablet

Go to the app, I was able to book thru the app

I am not able to get to the page

Is that thru the hotel or contract shuttle service. Were do you find out about the service.

Do you have links for the SAS. I might want to look into that. Flying in to FLL, but staying in downtown Miami

We book this for our cruise too. I have spent over 2 days searching for a good hotel. It has a good rate. Reviews, take them at half value. All the hotel's I have been looking at both in Ft Lauderdale and Miami had both good and horrible reviews.

I got both letters. I leave October 2.

Thanks for the live. We sail on her in April 2023, Miami to Seattle. So hoping for the old locks for the canal. Could I see a picture of the soap and shampoo dispenser in the cabin bathroom. Want to make sure there is both.
