That's really helpful, thank you!

Brilliance

Hello all! We are headed to Alaska end of May with our kids, and I know the Solarium opens for kids during some Alaska cruises, would anyone know if end of May would have this? Otherwise do we brave the outdoor pool? 😄

Thanks for your help

Cruise is May 21, kids are 6,7,9 Thinking i will send them off this week

I think I will get them just to be sure! I wish I lived in the lower mainland again, I'm more North and will need to send away, so hoping it doesn't take too long

Ah! That's probably why it's been so confusing. Thanks!

You have done this with your children? For some reason the U.S. government website says Canadian citizens 15 and under can enter the U.S. by sea with a birth certificate

Hello! Have any Canadians with children sailed to Alaska? I'm trying to find passport information but have been getting conflicting answers so I'm confused. We are Canadian citizens from Vancouver. We are sailing from Vancouver to Alaska and back to Vancouver. Will my children (7,8,9) need passports or birth certificates? Some RCI agents say passports, some say birth certificates, and the government websites say birth certificates. I am hoping to find a family that has done this trip and get some solid answers! Thanks in advance ☺️

Thank you! I also found the information confusing because every government website said only a birth certificate was necessary but the agent I spoke with from Royal Caribbean said they needed a passport so I really wasn't sure!

Hello fellow Canadians! I just booked a cruise for my family to Alaska and just need to know if my kids will need passports? We live in Vancouver, going on a cruise to Alaska and back to Vancouver. Thanks for your help!

I tried my best but I think I'm too nice... I will get you to help me next time 😄

Ok! Thanks for the suggestion!

***UPDATE*** I was on the phone with Resolutions for 2 hours. They couldn't find a solution for me that didn't involve paying at least $4000 extra than I had already paid. I said that was a bit unfair seeing as Royal switched ships on us and was supposed to find us a new cabin for the same rate. So in the end I had to cancel and I'm super bummed because it was going to be my kids first cruise 😭 I'm going to keep looking for something that works for us. Thanks so much for your help and support, you are all very sweet!

Thanks for all your help and suggestions!! You guys are the best. I'm going to call and see what I can do. I'm pretty easy going, but I don't think my 5 year old wants to be in steerage alone 😅

Love this suggestion! 😀

I did look to see what's open and seems like they do still have connecting rooms left, not sure why they didn't choose to put us in there

Its a pain in the butt that's for sure. My kids are 5,6,8. I was hoping to be switched to a spacious Oceanview but that didn't happen, and I'm definitely not paying $7000 more 😅 I will call them tomorrow

Hello everyone! So... I waited very patiently for Royal to swap my cabin from Enchantment to Brilliance. Originally on Enchantment I booked a spacious interior for my family of 5, however, Brilliance does not have this category. So I waited to see what would happen. Well... I just got our new room assignment, they put 4 of us in a balcony cabin (nice!) But my 5 year old is on deck 3 by himself. Also, our remaining balance owed is now $7000, instead of the $1000 we actually had left. What....?! Will the price adjust itself or should I make a call?

No I haven't tried it, thanks for the suggestion! I will check and see if I can get it in my small town 😄

Thanks everyone! I think I will call Royal Caribbean to check, that's a great idea

Yes! I agree. I like to pick my own rooms and the spacious interior had bunk beds that my kids would love. I'm up for changing sailings but we got such a good deal with kids sail free and the price at the time, I'm afraid we won't get that good of a deal if we switch!

Oh no!!! That is indeed frustrating. I hope you find a sailing that works for you!

Hoping for a but of an upgrade haha! I guess they also may choose to put us in connecting inside cabins?
