We are on a cruise tour starting Friday. Reports from Weather.com show Fairbanks smoky air is dangerous. I have asthma. Our cruise tour starts July 8 and after Denali we go to Fairbanks. Perhaps it will clear by then but I want to know my alternatives. Can I cancel the tour part of the cruise for health reasons? Who do I talk to on the ship? Should I call the insurance company? We are already in Vancouver for a few days.

The post cruise hotel is the Hilton Midtown which is a good location. Does anyone know the type of room that is booked? It's over $500/night. That's much more expensive than booking the same hotel on my own.

On the website, it says only certain ships have a concierge lounge for suite guests? Is the Caribbean Princess one of them? Do they have cans of soda?

Has anyone used this tour company to go to Mendenhall Glacier? What was your experience? We want to go to the Mendenhall Visitor Center. I read the shuttle bus leaves you 1.5 miles from the Center, so that is not an option. Please advise.

Has anyone done this tour? I'd like to know about your experience. Were the Fairmont Hotel rooms tiny as some are? Were the guides excellent? Did you enjoy the experience? Was it worth it?

We are looking at the Cruise Tour in September 2023 from Toronto to New York. This will be our 6th Canada/New England cruise, but we haven't done the land portion. Are you doing the land tour?

I've never heard this before either to describe the suites on each side of the ship, but I think it is amusing and I might use it, too. Like his name, I bet BgWest is from the West! Since we'd travel in September when school is in session, there wouldn't be children running for ice cream, just adults running for ice cream. I was more worried about the chairs being set up in the morning.

On this ship, the S4 suites are underneath the pool area. Can anyone tell me if you can hear noises from the pool area in this type of suite from above? Chairs scraping as they are set-up for the day, folks running around, or anything like that? The other suites are either aft or forward. We've never had an aft suite. We will be doing the Canada-New England cruise. Would the feel the movement of the Atlantic Ocean in an Aft suite? Any comments on the Princess Caribbean suites are appreciated.

I'd like to know what type of entertainment the Radiance offers at night? What are the shows in the theater? What are the other venues? I don't suppose there are venues similar to the larger ships, but I'd like to know what to look forward to. What isn't to be missed? Is there a venue to dance? Thank you. We will be sailing to Alaska in July.

We loved HAL, but left when the entertainment changed. They changed the singer/dancer shows to only dancer shows. They have fewer live shows. The dueling pianos players weren't dueling, but taking turns and often did not get along. The B.B. King area got boring after a while. There was more classical music instead of having it just before dinner. Has anything changed?

We booked an Australia/New Zealand trip for next February. Today I decided to check how much airfare is roundtrip Sydney even though I know I cannot plug in the dates for our travel. I just used this year and made up dates similar to our dates for next year. What a surprise! Airfare is over $2,000 for economy and $15,000 for First class. (these are approximate, of course) Flying with miles is about 900,000 for First Class. Here's my question - I know Princess can arrange our flights, but will the fares be less expensive? I realize this is all 'iffy', but I just want to know experiences of others.
