What was the price for the GWV?
Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk$599/$699/$799 for the 3 plans. I am using the middle “Surf” plan which is allowing me to do everything I want so far

No you can't. You have to wait until you are onboard to sign up and purchase.
If you want to avoid extra charges at the end of your cruise, what you can do is buy some OBC on the HAL site to cover the cost of the internet (or anything else you anticipate spending money on).
On the GWV that sailed yesterday, about a week before sailing they added prepaid full voyage packages for the 3 plans

That's really reasonable, IMO.
It is significantly less than I was expecting. I recently retired so I don’t have to worry about keeping in touch for work but I plan to have internet so I can upload pictures for family & friends to view and keep an eye on financial and home status

I did the same thing. I needed the Internet access for business and wanted it to be accounted for as a business expense for tax purposes. I bought $130 in OBC on my business credit card before leaving. If a person knows the lenghth of their voyage, there's a chart that tells the cost. You can call HAL and get a quote. (I think the Grand Voyages and anything over 31 days are priced a little differently.)
For the GWV it is $599/$699/$799 for the full voyage

Can I buy an internet package before I go (cruise is in April) or do I need to wait until I am on the ship? I can’t find a place to make the purchase on the website.
I have looked for but have not seen any prepaid Internet options. I am guessing that because of the 3 triers now it would be difficult to to keep things straight. The old minutes plans made it easy for them to pre-sell. I have bought some shipboard credit to prepay some of the internet cost for our upcoming GWV leaving on Jan 22.

I also want to thank all the bloggers for their efforts. I have followed some of the blogs in the past, mostly for the pictures. but this year, I have read every word of all the posts because DW and I will be on next year's World Cruise and we looked for tips to help use plan and prepare for our adventure.

They have deck plans for before and after May 2018 in the ONBOARD section of the HAL website.
The biggest changes I see are that there will be 21 - Lanai stateroms midship on Lower Promenande and the main theater - Queens Lounge will be renamed to The Mainstage. I don't see any other significant palyout changes that shop up in the deck plan
We have been on her for a 2 week Alaska cruise and are seriously considering the 2019 WC.

On Deck 10 just behind the Bridge is a secluded little area out of the wind/rain/sun with a bench to sit on - perfect to watch the world go by. You get to it from Desk 9 front outer deck.

I have been on the Ryndam twice - Norway (the 2 years ago) and Alaska and was able to go out on bow almost anytime I wanted to (except once, I remember when it was very windy). Sometimes I had to look for which door was open.

Does it matter if these documents (especially the luggage tags) print in black and white??? I don't have access to a colored printer :(
It says on the Luggage tag that is doesn't need to be printed in color

Thanks for the review so far and look forward to your remaining posts. We will be sailing on the Valor in 3 weeks:).

I came back with about 5300 on 2 week Alaska cruise a couple of years ago and 3700 on our 2 week Norwegian cruises last year.

Sorry to hi-jack this thread but my problem is similar with Carnival check-in. I am a Canadian citizen living in the USA with permanent resident alien (green card) that does not have an expiry date (all the newer ones do but my one that was issued in 1985 is still valid). When I try checking in for our May 4 Valor cruise from San Juan, when prompted for permanent resident card info, it wants an expiry date which I don't have and cannot continue.
When I called Carnival to see it they could help, they said there was northing they could do. Our other cruises have been on HAL and I have not had this issue before. Guess I will be taking longer to get through check-in at the port:mad:.

There isn't a problem with the Carnival site. Some of the cruises for 2015 do have excursions available, some do not. I currently have two bookings for 2015 (Jan, Mar) that do not. When speaking with Carnival about a month ago, they were hoping to have these excursions in place around the beginning of April. So, my suggestion, keep checking. They WILL pop up one day :)

Actually, there is a problem with the Carnival Website for SOME cruises - for example we are on the May 4, 2014 (34 days out:)) sailing on the Valor out of San Juan and there are no excursions available :mad: for a large number of people. Carnival has bee contacted a number of times and so far, they have not been able to fix the problem.

I am having the same problem:mad: (May 4 2014 sailing of Valor out of San Juan). I have tried 4 different browsers and I have tried on 4 different computers. I am an I.T. professional who deals with this type of problems regularly. I finally called the Carnival eSupport number yesterday, The guy I talked to had the same problem when he tried to access this cruise. He was going to pass it on the I.T. would are supposed to get back to me. I have not heard anything yet!

My first ship was the Jupiter (Epirotiki Lines) in late 70's. The ship sailed 2 one week cruises out of Barbados. First week south (Grenada, Curracao, Caracas and others) and the second week North (Martinique, Guadalupe, St Thomas. St Lucia and others) .
Ship sank after being hit by a tanker off Greek coast in 1998.

Thanks all for your comments. We had not found anything doing searches. DD is a junior in Highschool and has been taking Russian for 3 years. We have been to a few class functions that had various kinds of Russian food and thought we might find something there based on Sitka's history. We will keep an eye on on stop during July 3-10 NB HAL Ryndam.

Being out on deck to watch the wide variety of sunrises and sunsets.
On 2019 GWV, I was out for over 90% of the sunrises and at least 70% of the sunsets.
