First time cruise to Alaska on the Spirit next week. Do I need to keep my phone in airplane mode while cruising Alaska while on the ship?

I had the same issue trying to check in for my Alaska cruise on Saturday thinking it’s midnight in Florida. So I waited until the next morning and tried again and got 10:30-11 am check in.

Those GameKing Machines do have Keno on them. Some have the Cleopatra Keno. My husband won 6 out of 6 on our last cruise on Panorama. The denominations start at $.25 and up.

Once you click on select room that is the total for the whole cruise for double occupancy. So your $789 interior is the $1902.

You can watch You Tube videos for you to practice at home.

If prone to sea sickness you need to be mid ship and down on lower decks. That's why I book only midship area. I wear a motion sickness bracelet and I also take Bonine as a back up. I haven't tried a Cove Balcony but they should be fine in that area.

We just got off recently on the Panorama. I prepared my bags in the morning and the cabin steward just picked it up when he cleaned our room. I got it the same day. He would deliver it around 6:30-7pm. I had to ask for the bags because there weren't any in the room. This time though I didn't have to fill out the paperwork of what items I was getting laundered. I did count my items though. They came back with the count written on the bottom corner of the bag. I did two bags one on Monday and the second on Thursday. My husband only sent out one.

You're right. I'm on the same cruise as you on the Panorama this Saturday and I just reprinted my boarding passes and they have updated them. I'm Platinum so I guess we have to wait for our rooms to be ready.

We usually pick 10am-10:30am arrival time at Long Beach. We still see people coming out of the terminal at that time. Usually they start boarding at 11am. That's been my two experiences with the Panorama. It's arrived as early as 6am and start clearance to disembark at 7am. We are getting on the Panorama again this weekend and I have the 10-10:30 arrival once again. We'll see how long it takes them to clear the ship since it's Spring Break time.

I only use cash for my cruise account. I use the kiosk once I get on board. I put in a little at a time and see how far that goes so that I won't have any credit left. But if I see near the last two days of the cruise I still have a lot left. I try to shop at the gift shop or use it in the casino. If I want to get my money back, luckily I'm Platinum and I cash out on the last night at Guest Services.

We cruise out of Long Beach quite often. I think the current rate is $23 a day for parking. But we somehow don't seem to have to pay since we're usually the first ones off the ship and the garage attendants at the booth aren't quite ready for payment and they just let us go through. We usually have the earliest arrival time around 10 am and that usually is when the previous cruise is debarking. We always manage to find parking in the first two levels of the parking garage. We will be on the 3/18/23 cruise.

Anyone recently cruise out of Long Beach? Wondering if there are any flooding issues getting there. We're cruising in two weeks coming from Las Vegas and want to be prepared for any detours.

I'm also from Vegas. My DH and I are boarding this Friday. First time on the Radiance. Was the BBQ place open on embarkation?

I checked for my 12/2/22 Radiance cruise and I got 10-10:30 am

My husband and I did it in August on the Panorama. It was our first time doing Chef's Table. We are foodies so we found it really good. They were small portions. I was still hungry afterwards so we went up for pizza. I'd probably try it again if I were to go on Mardi Gras. I think the menu is the same fleet wide.
