Oh my…what a beautiful addition to your cruise. And, it was free, compliments of Mother Nature🥰. Was this between Ketchikan and Juneau?? We just got notice today that our whale watching excursion in Juneau doesn’t guarantee whale sightings…so this would be amazing to see. And…our cabin is really close to the Great Outdoors. Tell Dad he has a fan club! Lol, I just got to your next post where you acknowledged it was free! Yay!

Lol. My favorite Freestyle typo is from the Bliss…the day after I slipped and fell from wet carpet to hard floor. BTW…four months later it was still a typo🙃

Lol…I agree. We get the best filet in LeBistro and the best Lamb chops in Cagney’s. Oh…I will add my favorite dessert in Le Bistro. The Ile Flontante. And in Cagney’s…the OMG Cheesecake.

Yes on LeBistro. The French Onion soup is amazing and the Filet is typically better than what is in Cagney’s…but it is a $10 upcharge. Worth it IMO.

I guess I’m like you…lol. But I would eat the veggies too!

I guess I can see why they go generic. Ok…cookies it is. I like them too.

More details. Why not?

Instead of strawberries I would like something like this! Simple, probably less costly (excep maybe the caviar) and more variety than just chocolate 🍓.

Ditto that compliment.

@ChiefMateJRK you said in the past that you like The Great Outdoors on AK cruises. Did you find the bar there open most times?

@Asawi @cruiseny4life Thanks for the firsthand reassurance. I typically don’t do the upgrade bid…but I really wanted the side table on both side of the bed. And, our new room location will give us easy access to The Great Outdoors for viewing.

So…it happened. Our minimum upgrade bid on the Jewel from Balcony to Club Balcony was accepted. BUT…it is a connected cabin. How’s the noise level between cabins?

Now this qualifies as a “rant”.

Hi Yvonne, we hope to visit Granville Market the day before our cruise. We had not planned on getting any CDN currency. Do most shops/vendors in the market take USD or credit cards? Apple Pay? Thanks…and really looking forward to your travel adventures with Dad. We’re on the sailing after yours Bon Voyage!

This is from the app for Sky.

We did FWD-facing CBS on the Prima. NYC to Bermuda. We were very disappointed in our cabin choice. The balcony is way too windy, and the bottom is metal so in order to see anything you need to stand up. We will likely never do a FWD facing again on any ship…just don’t want to take a chance.

This is not a challenge to what you’ve said. Do you know for certain that they really buffet leftovers? also, you can have the strawberries…I’ll take the wine!

This was similar to our tendering experience. In fairness to NCL it was the beginning of a new season and local authorities were running contracted tenders. But it did cause s lot of frustration amongst Lat members and crew.

You’re helping me get even more excited about our cruise next month. We typically don’t do FAS+ but with doing an excursion in every port we decided to spend the extra this trip. So…Starbucks and Baileys will make this AK cruise even better. thanks @kaboozlefor posting.

We used this service on the Bliss recently. They had all Latitudes with this benefit meet in one of the MDRs and they facilitated priority tender from there (although on our sailing this was total cluster.). Also,,stop by Cruise Next desk when you board and ask them the procedure.

Oh my. My handbag might have accidentally knocked over my unfinished drink as I turned abruptly to leave. 🫗😂

@kaboozle How’s the drink selection at the Atrium Cafe? Do they do drinks like frappes? Things like chai latte?

Another cruise could solve that😊

How wonderful the Bliss is able to make the turn into Endicott Arm. In mid-May 2022 she had to stop at the mouth due to too much ice. Here is a picture…you can see the ice is right up to the mouth.

Very cool. Great way to start your cruise.
