So specific ships for Alaska got HAL and Princess?

Must have covered pool.

In and out of Vancouver/Seattle only.

If we book main dining for group together, can people vary and some do anytime dining and some specialty dining? We don’t have to be at same table. There are now 40 of us.

A few may want to add a land portion and fly to Anchorage upon return to port.

So if I'm booking a group trip, 16 rooms, what's the best way to get the credit thru a travel agent?

If you find it, please share

Planning a group cruise and we are excited!:)

Yes, I have a couple of agents I have worked with. I just prefer the advice of seasoned cruisers like this group in addition to an agent.

Hi, we are planning a group tour of Alaska inside passage for mostly first time cruisers with our group Gransonthego.com. I am interested in opinions on the following criteria. Cost is a consideration. Please advise on which ships you would suggest for such a group.

Ships with indoor pools;

Ships with good communication systems for groups onboard;

Would plan on scheduling 2 group dinners for approximately 16 people;

Prefer a good naturalist;

Will not consider Carnival, but are open to other cruiselines.

I doubt the restrooms are a deal breaker that stops people going on Epic, they obviously sell more winter cruises in the states than in Europe..

We loved the bathrooms

Whats SOP

We are considering a spa pass for the hot tubs. With the Vibe pass and two hot tubs available, were they extremely crowded? Might get away with Vibe and not spa pass.

We are bringing our filtered water pitcher and will refill water bottles.:p

Are there any rooms with slightly larger balconies, like some of the other ships?

Planning a family cruise for after Christmas. Just got back from the Epic and loved it. Service could be a little faster in the free restaurants, but other than that, very few complaints.

We are Pearl fans and missed the great windows for views, but the entertainment made up for that. Trying to decide whether to take two or three families on a Christmas cruise for this year.

Which ship? Getaway, Breakaway, or Epic? I have one family of five. Is it less expensive for a family suite, or to get a balcony room across from an inside room. They have teenage girls and it may be four to a room for the girls if a cousin is included.

We just returned from Epic. Heard that we could purchase 2 bottles of wine for $49 or 4 bottles for $99 on board. Will do that next time if that's true. Would save us money.

Usually find group excursions on the board. Did I miss that thread?

I am also on HCG and doing well. Best diet I've ever been on and only one I could stick to. HCG is supposed to "protect" your body from the effects

of the low calorie diet.

Research it before you draw your conclusions.
