I was having the same issue but it was fixed when I used an incognito browser. Give that a try!

You run into this either way though with the one-ways, don't you? One other thing is that if we got off the ship in Vancouver after a southbound then we would have to kill time before an evening flight back to the east coast. Not the end of the world but it felt like we could manage our time in Alaska a little bit easier.

I went back and forth on this before booking our trip on the Discovery in 2026. I agree with the PP that you probably cannot go wrong but here was our thought process. I have two young boys who will be 7 and 10 on the time of travel so that was a big factor. We ended up doing northbound. Our first thought was to do the southbound for the idea of relaxing after the land excitement, but we were worried that it would be a little bit of a let down/boring for the kids. We thought that the cruise could just build excitement for the land portion. Also, if any excursions were cancelled or had poor conditions on the cruise portion we would have the ability to hopefully do one on land, like a whale watch or the sled dog experience.

I get this! This is why I think we are asking. Because it's the only way that the adults can get it...

I am in the same boat having just booked two interior rooms on the Discovery for 2026. The savings was close to $4,000 from a mini-suite. We did book the Plus for all 4 of us but my husband is really second guessing it. We don't really need/want wi-fi. When you subtract the gratuity it comes out to $44/day and I'm just not sure my 7 and 10 year olds will drink that much each day. It also doesn't appear that they sell Powerade/Gatorade on Princess cruises? If so then we would probably break even on that. On RCL they had a drink cart before we disembarked that we just grabbed a water and a Powerade each morning from.

Awesome, I appreciate it! Thank you. So many threads to follow.

Thank you so much! I have been not so patiently waiting. Now I finally get to figure out which ship we want to do.

Any idea when the actual itineraries might get posted? The website is all still 2025.

Thank you! I have been not so patiently waiting!

So if an insider doesn't post something in advance then I should expect them to be available to the public on the 25th? And open for "loyalty" booking on the same day?

The 25th is next week. How far before booking opens do they usually release the itineraries? Or do they do it all on the same day? Norwegian just released 2026 Alaska yesterday.
