pre booking specialist restaurants was difficult for us.We aren't in a top suite and the availability for booking is at 1am in the morning.The same with the tours! Why?/
-
We took up the offer of doing the Rocky Mountaineer through Regent as well as 2 days in Banff and some time in Vancouver prior to the cruise.
We set sail on 23rd August 2023..
When we arrive in Seward we have booked accommodation for 4 nights and a daily private tour.
I will feed back as much as possible on return.Also answer any questions.
Now to pack clothes for kayaking, treks,hot days, wet days, ship attire and specialist restaurants clothes!

One of the most memorable excursions in 25 years of cruising has to be the helicopter ride onto Mendenhall Glacier in Juneau, just beautiful. But the hike once on the glacier was even better. We had crampons and and poles and could go up and down very steep terrain.
It was on Regent, but I am sure it was extra cost, I have no idea how much. Whatever it was, it was worth twice that.We are setting off on Friday to Calgary.We have booked this tour from the ship(at great cost) for our wedding anniversary.So looking forward to it.Thanks.

On Marina, you did have to sign up. That was at least some way to being fair.
-
We were on Star clipper. I heard rumblings that this ship and Royal were going to dry dock soon. Worth checking it out.
-
Open for anyone. (Which is lovely for newbies). We only got a space as we passed the loft to our suite on the same deck. We were allowed to our cabin early as it was a suite, so had an advantage .We never knew it existed prior to that cruise.

On Marina earlier this year, you had to go to artists loft to sign up.There were a couple of classes for each subject.Sadly some people booked for all the sessions and that left no room for those who hadn't got there in time.

Is there a charge to upgrade to Prestige when you board as opposed to doing pre cruise?

Spoke with my TA yesterday. Her last week has been swamped with calls/emails regarding explanation of SM and now Summer Sale on top. I feel bad every time I’ve recently had her reprice another O sale cruise. Maybe O should have a dedicated line to assist previously booked passengers needing to reprice due to an O sale whether booked with O or TA and to field questions regarding SM. JMO
Did you get your cruise repriced?
-
Yesterday we had a long discussion with our TA regards booking the second cruise in 2025 adjoining one we had already booked.We held on from last week to see the exact SM description.The price was cheaper fo SM and it worked well for us.
But.... this morning I see both cruises are now cheaper still.Can we get a new new price for both our cruises?
-
This makes it all difficult to decide whether to book with O Life or SM today.

What does this mean:
‘ free, champagne, wine, and more valued at up to US$2800 per stateroom’

We have often wondered why there is such a leap in size between PH and Oceania suite.

How about staying in Seward for a couple of nights instead of Anchorage.? We have booked a great little place. Seward is meant to be one of the best towns in America. There is plenty to do. Easy/hard walks, boat trips, kayaking, gold panning etc.
Easy free shuttle all day to dock.

We have an Alaskan Ocean Raft Adventure booked in Icy Strait in August.In November we had an email stating the tour has been cancelled.We checked with Regent and were told it is not cancelled.I rang again today as it is still on our tour bookings.Again told it is still going ahead.
Worried it will be cancelled at least minute.(recently sailed Oceania, with so many last minute changes).
Wondered if anyone has recently been able to do this tour or if you are going soon and have it booked,please let me know.
Many thanks.
-
Problem with upgrades is where cabin/ suite is allocated.There is no choice on that.eg you may get an upgrade to Oceania suite and be under the gym! No thanks.Rather stay with what I booked.
When we were offered an upsell,we knew where the penthouse suite was - next to the bridge but it was fine.Grateful.

Thank you everyone. We will sail on Explorer in August-Alaska.
-
Apologies if this has already been covered.Did I read somewhere that one or two specialist restaurants are open for lunch on sea days.?
If so do we need to book when we embark? Unable to book restaurants at 1am, we have been left with a couple of late dining times.
Thank you.
Feedback sought from Alaska on the Explorer
