Yes. At this point step away and just enjoy your cruise. While the complaints are true they reflect a small percentage. The best choice is to learn from pitfalls other have had. There is so many great pieces of advice about good experiences or choices others have had that make s the forum great and helps us all have a better cruise experience too.

We have done quite a Alaskan cruises.
May was cold and rainy. Same thing with end of August and September.
JMO -- but we enjoyed Alaska the best from about the 3rd week of June through the first week of August.
Agreed. That's my sentiment as well. I normally try to be there during summer solstice.

In my opinion end of June to first part of July because it will be warmer and daylight longer. That's typically the more expensive dates to. If u want to save some money go early or late in the cruise season.

Yes. Do it that way. Just transfer from cruise port to anchorage airport for rental. And it's best way because you can explore at your own pace. If your going into Denali get your tickets in Advance is smart. If your not going into Denali there is plenty to see, do and relax all over the place.

Cozumel only. Belize or mahogany bay on your own is a bad idea. Mohagany bay is part of Honduras. Some of the highest murder rates in the world. Belize I would be more worried about being robbed than killed. But stay with a ship tour. Cozumel is def the best of the three

Carnival has more energy than most cruise ship brands which i like. If want bands, dancing etc and lively guests having fun then Carnival is a fun choice. If you want great shows that's likely not gonna happen. Definitely good comedy shows. As far as food goes I think it's on par with other main stream lines. Some areas better and some areas worse. I think it's still a value, but that value is perceived. If you have concerns maybe try celebrity or princess. Both more upscale than carnival but with less energy on board IMO. Whichever you choose I hope it meets your expectations. I personally like the higher energy on a Carnival ship.

As someone who lives in Alaska let me just say that road construction can be a factor when determining how long it will take to drive from point A to point B. I have no idea of any major construction projects are scheduled for next summer between the McKinley View Princess and Anchorage, but if the OP is using a Princess coach Princess will be very aware of the situation.
So true. There was plenty of road construction this past summer. With lots of the work being bridges over railroad crossings.

It is between 45 minutes to an hour to go from princess McKinley lodge to talkeetna. From captain cook to princess McKinley lodge took 3 1/2 hours by car for me this past summer.

The free cruise will be for a inside cabin. If that's acceptable it may be a good deal. Before u book look at the cruises you would be interested in first before using your cruise voucher. What you will still pay for is taxes, upgrades, gratuities etc. the caveat in addition to all of this is NCF which is non specific cruisefare that cruise lines take on these so called free cruises. This is discretionary to them and different on different cruises. That's why it's important for you to investigate a cruise your interested before calling them to see if the cruise is a good enough deal for you. Typically there are selected dates and cruise they give you so the cruise date you would prefer may not be available.
Just be a smart shopper and you will do fine. I have used the offer before and just sailed as an inside cabin and enjoyed myself. However it wasn't free just cheaper but I still went home with a smile!

Now I was planning on doing it in May so it wouldn't be during hurricane season would that make a difference?
Sent from my iPhone using Forums
May would be a great month for predicable weather. Ship mechanical problem would be only worry or a ship of sick people. It all can happen. But it sounds like a safer time I would do it then.

If you can't find someone to share you can rent a car from Avis at the airport and drop off at their port canaveral location. They offer free shuttle to the cruise port from there.

Hmmm. Sorry that was your experience. I have only sailed princess 4 times but every cruise was great and I felt better than Carnival except for live entertainment on Carnival is better and nightclubs. Maybe you just picked the short straw with this one. 5 day cruise are truly short for Princess.. better luck next time whoever you sail with.

Definitely tell him he won't be boarding now. You will lose his stateroom fee but you will get back his port taxes and fees plus refunds on excursions.

You can stop at guest services and put the $12.95 per person per day in cash (it all goes the same place though....), you don't have to wait till the last night. GS can certainly put the cash towards you account which is the same thing. Hope this helps....

If your going to use cash this is the best advice above on how to do it. You can pay cash against your stateroom bill at guest services etc.

Have you had a guys burger?
Sent from my iPhone
Agreed. Guys Burgers are way better than Johnny Rockets. And I'm glad there isnt an upcharge. Five guys burgers are great too as some have mentioned but I personally like guys burgers better. If you are out in Vegas there is a guys burger restaurant near harrahs. It's a pricey burger out there! Approximately $20
