It won’t be updated, but the crew is outstanding. Capt. Marek is a fun Captain. They put on a show day 5 or 6 in the evening with some of their talented crew members. Make sure to go early and get a good seat. We were on the Radiance for 3 weeks and went to the show each week.
That is correct. They have a block of seats set aside. The final payment is made and you will be able to get seats. Once that occurs from my experience you deal with the airline directly. You will still receive any updates to any time changes or delays from Air2Sea. I always establish a login on the airline and try to go online and pick my seats.
Not always. I have booked Air2Sea many times and it varies. Sometimes they can assign seats, but you do have to wait with other airlines until the ticket is paid for and then you can call them directly or do it online.
On B2B cruises where we purchased alcohol we have always received it the last night of the first leg, even on B3B. Our reservations were definitely marked as B2B, but it didn’t make a difference.
Just an FYI, we have cruised AK 6 times in the last 2 years. Internet is really spotty due to the mountains. The ports didn’t have very good coverage either.
In the last 3 months I have cruised with Celebrity twice, but prior I cruised many on Royal. You do get pampered more on Celebrity but it comes with a large price tag. It just depends what you are looking for in cruises. I would rather spend less and be at sea more days.
We have had balconies on deck 13 on Ovation, Quantum and Anthem. I wouldn’t say you feel closed in, but it wasn’t a great floor for our Alaska cruise. It blocks your view to look up at the Glaciers.
I wouldn’t have any dress pants or dress shirts washed with the laundry services onboard. T-shirts, shorts, underwear and socks are the only items we send in for laundry services.
I agree and that is always how we have done it in the past. For some reason our set sail passes are not listed it as a “suite” anymore just as the OP states.
