We are traveling in about 3 weeks with a large group on the Liberty. It says on the Carnival website that the hub app is not available. We are ready to purchase a plan, if needed. Many of us have iphones, so we may be able to use the imessage feature, I have just read that that is not always consistent.

Any recent experiences with Facebook Messenger or What's App?

Thanks in advance!

Thanks for all the help!

Yesterday, I did email directly to the lesteakhouse email address. I'm hoping to hear something soon. Our cruise is in 11 days and we're celebrating an anniversary. I was worried if I emailed too far out, it might get lost. I guess that was a wrong assumption.

Hoping we can get in at least one evening!

I've used the link in the "Manage My Cruise" section. I've sent at least 3 different date/time options, but haven't heard anything. I figured with our departure time getting close, the reservations would be getting worked on.

I guess I'll keep trying!

We sail on the Legend in less than 2 weeks. I have tried to make Steakhouse reservations for a few of our nights, in hopes of getting at least one of them. I emailed on Monday morning and have heard nothing back. When I made the small boat excursion reservations, I heard back within 24 hours.

I wasn't sure if we would be informed at embarkation of the reservation or are people usually informed before their sail date? Or does this mean there's no availability for the dates and times chosen?

Thanks for any insight!

Really enjoying your live report! We're on the Legend in August. Is the hammock an ENO? My daughter has one of those, I may have her pack it!!

We are a group of 11 going to Alaska this summer, 6 adults, 5 kids and 4 of the kids would need to be in booster seats if we rented cars.

 

We want to do a whale watch and Mendenhall, our ship is in port from 12:30 pm to 10:15 pm. What's the best way to do this? Since we don't get in until 12:30 should we do Mendenhall first? Book a tour through Princess or go on our own? We'd need to rent a van and a 2nd car if we go that route. The bus for 11 seems crazy expensive. I'd love to do a whale watch for just us, but the pricing for the families with the kids makes it pricey - our group is 2 singles and 1 family of 4 and a family of 5.

 

Would love any recommendations for tour companies and transportation options.

I just booked a Whale Watch and Glacier combo tour with Juneau Whale Watch. They have reduced pricing for kids and are even running a 10% discount special on tours. They were less expensive than some groups I looked at and have good reviews on tripadvisor and here. Their boats hold up to 12 people and they provide transportation both ways. They were very quick to reply back to my questions, too.

Not sure if this will work for your group, but thought I'd pass along the info. :)

We are visiting Skagway in August for the day and are interested in both kayaking and taking the White Rail pass. Our cruise ship offers this as a package, but we usually book our own tours, as we prefer the smaller groups. We're not serious kayakers, but it's my daughter's number 1 request to do while in Alaska. Can anyone recommend a tour operator/group? Many seem to offer one or the other, but not both.

Thanks!

Enjoyed your review! Just booked this cruise for August with similarly aged kids.
