Thanks everyone.  I didn't think she qualified, but just verifying with others experiences. 

Would a gold star widow qualify? 

Curious how ordering doubles is handled with drinks package. Does the $15 limit rule or the one drink per order rule apply? e.g. If I ordered a double Hennessey would I be charged anything over $15 or anything over a single serving price?

Holland America has Neptune suites located mid ship, mid deck. Very comfortable.  They have a concierge lounge on the same deck located across  the hall from most Neptune suites.

There will likely be a shuttle waiting when you get out of the terminal. No need to call or set a time.  If it's not there, you can call or just wait a short time. 

For our upcoming  cruise in October, we are staying an extra night post cruise. We thought about renting a car for the day by using one of the car rental shuttles from the port and, ideally, returning it at a local hotel. Any suggestions as to which hotels have car returns on-site?

Without reliable location info,  Google maps may try to get your location by your IP address which is probably  registered to the shipyard. Guessing.

Cell phones typically use a form of GPS called Assisted GPS. That requires cell phone tower data for the your initial coarse location. There are no cell towers that accept data at sea.  You may also notice your cell phone clock will go wacky since it too gets it's time sync from cell towers. A reason why people recommend a wrist watch while cruising.

Yes, they usually do keep keys.  But, like I said,  if it's the off-season, and there aren't many ships out, it's possible the would allow self park where you would keep your keys.  That only happened once to me in early October and we where the only out ship that week.

We never had any damage.  We've used them about 10 times.

Park `n Go on Eller Dr is excellent.  More convenient than parking at the terminal  since they drop you right in front. Pickup as well.  Drive in, they will unload your car and load your luggage onto a shuttle.  Reverse on return.  The only time I've seen self park is in the off-season when few sailings are out.

The aquarium is a nice visit especially  for kids of those ages.  The caveat may be dependent on aquariums they may have visited In the past. If you have experienced some of the larger ones in the states it may be a bit underwhelming. 

There is a sea lion and a dolphin show which are fun. There are some hands on displays. Overall, a nice place to spend the afternoon.

They did when we cruised in April.  I'm not aware of any changes.
