Yes Royal's IT is having an issue with the meet and mingle sign up.

Many on our BRILLANCE TA this September has had to re sign up at least 3 times!

Yes!! We are on Indy Sept 22 and I have personally signed us up 4 times!! I have a printed confirmation from January for 40 and it continue to fluctuate daily!! Its driving many of us crazy. Hope its fixed soon. I plan on taking all my printed confirmations with me to the service desk if I don't have a M&M invite in my cabin when I board. We are telling folks on the boards to resign up. Let us know how this works out for you since you on now on board. Good Luck.

That is definitely a college spring break week.

OK. In our area is not spring break to the following week. There is actually a website that tells you when colleges go on spring break ever what I could tell Moews don't go to the following week when we're coming back. i'm actually more worried about families with small kids than I am college students. Very much looking forward to a break in the Midwest winter. Bon voyage

Oh I forgot about spring break :( Yes I am leaning more towards Brilliance but hubby mentioned to me about an Elvis cruise that is also in late Feb - March on Freedom, he's a huge elvis fanatic and he's been wanting to do that cruise. I have to decide by mon, decisions decisions lol.

My husband and I will be on Brilliance on the March 6, 2017 sailing. We chose that one cause it's early enough the month that there should not be many, if any spring breakers. Either empty nesters like us or honeymooners. Hope this help. Hope to see your there. If you do come, get on the roll call. :)

Althought we will be going on our 1st Alaska cruise this August, from all my research, I got the feeling (and this coming from a girl who only thought cruising the Caribbean was only way to go) we will be going back. I am so excited in seeing the rest of my great country and a little bit of Canada too! It is a bucket list trip, but as I foresaid, i think we will be going back! We are leaving out of Seattle and will be seeing it for the first time too. Will be there 2 days before the ship leaves.

The earlier poster (xlox?) listed a number of things that also make Alaska VERY appealing :). I was just telling my husband that this is the first trip I didn't have to worry about the currency exchange or order currency in advance for several years now. And yes, Verizon has service! I also think it will be interesting to see land the entire time from the cruise ship. I will admit there are times when I enjoy the "sea" days more than the port days. And in this case, as an earlier poster said, they will be "see" days! In case you haven't figured it out...I am geeked about this trip!:D

Lastly, given the current "world situation", it's a great time to re-discover the USA and all it has to offer...:D

Safe traveling everyone!

Will be sailing the Explorer in August to Alaska from Seattle. Have a question: It there a White Party on deck on this ship. Making my packing list and want to make sure I have it covered without being overpacked. (yeah, right) Thanks for your help. ;)
