Thanks everyone. The Gem it is!! Jan 2025

We are thinking of doing the Panama Canal 11 day from Miami January 2025. Both the Gem and Pearl do the partial Transit from Miami back to Miami. The only difference I can see is the Gem Stops at Grand Cayman and the Pearl Stops in Ocho Rios. Both ships depart in January, just different weeks. Which ship should I choose?  Grand Cayman or Ocho Rios??

Has anyone booked with Let's Go Roatan Tours? We will be in Roatan on the Breakaway March 13 and I am considering booking with them. City tour with Photo stops, chocolate factory, Sloths and monkeys, and West Bay Beach Day Pass at Argentina Grill. Thankful for any information.

There isn't any magic time. They are in the water, and "eating". round the clock with rest when needed. Schedule where it fits your overall port time best.

Thank you!!

Would you say morning or afternoon is best??

Glacier Winds is not available for our day in Icy Strait. Who would you recommend and what time of the day do you think is best to see whales?

They are sold out. ):

Thank you all!

Thank you all for this information. I have a group of 30. I think I will stick to my original plan and walk to the station for the early train. We are staying at the Anchorage Grand on 2nd Ave. Is this really walkable? I wanted a hotel that we could walk around Anchorage and walk to the train station.

OK, Should I take the early train from downtown (6:45) on my own, or find transportation back to the airport to take the NCL train?

Thanks, I don't know how I missed that.

I've been waiting for NCL to post information about the train from Anchorage to Seward and finally saw it this morning. It leaves from the airport. Is this something new? I thought it left from the train station in town early in the morning. The website says to be there by 12:00 p.m. and it arrives in Seward at 6:00. I booked hotel close to train station for this reason.

Can't wait Sue. We set sail Monday!

Me too! June 8-15

I just got off the phone with BOA. Last week I received my certificates. I have two accounts, one was right and the other was wrong. I had 994 points, then charged $492, so should have earned 14 extra points to put me over 1000. I received only 1 - $100 certificate. I have been reading these boards, so I did not call until today. At first I did not think the girl I was talking to knew about the problem. I told her my certificates were wrong and she asked me why I thought I received the wrong certificates. When I told her the above information, she put me on hold. When she came back she said I should receive the correct certificates by the 13th. She then told me since today was the 9th, I may not receive them by the 13th, she just wanted me to know they were working on it and did not want me to be upset if they did not come by the 13th. She said I would definitely hear from BOA within 5 days, by phone or email. She made sure she had my correct email address. She was very nice, and I told her I knew they had major problems with the certificates. She said they were working very hard to correct everything, and wanted to make sure I was please with the customer service.
