Don't forget there is free wifi in most ports plus comfortable places to access it, if you want to limit your internet time just to those locations and spend that money doing something else on this vacation..

Thanks for the advise!:D

As to the internet....

 

They have 3 tiers of WiFi: social for $14.99 per day, surf for $24.99 per day and premium for $29.99 per day. That’s what was on the informational flier handed out.

 

 

You can have more than 1 account per stateroom but only one device at a time used on each account.

 

We Bought premium, and it was 7 days for $139.99 for each account. Once you go to the buy page, it gives you that “deal” of a price for the entire cruise. It seems better than the 1000minutes for $250, maybe?

 

 

Premium Allows for audio/video, calling and streaming. We bought 2 accounts for our room, so we could have flexibility on who would have access to WiFi.

 

 

It’s a bit quirky as it keeps logging us out, not sure about the timeframe, but it’s ok for speed.

Hi just wondering what do you mean “once you go to buy page”? Sorry it will be our first time cruising with Holland and yes I am super excited. Me and my hubby would need internet. Thank you!

You do not need boots. They provide boots that fit over your walking shoes. As far as clothing, layers for sure. They told us the glacier is typically 20 degrees F cooler than at sea level in Skagway. We had a beautiful sunny day last week and thought this the best part of the trip. When it is your turn to be on the back of the sled, HANG ON!!! I took a tumble. Got lots of grief for that one.:D

Thank u for the advise, hopefully the weather will be good so they won't cancel it.

Hi everyone, we are boarding Grand princess this Sunday to Alaska! Ya can't wait, but wondering what should I prepare to wear for the helicopter ride and to dog sledding. Me and my son (5 years old). Please help, thanks. Should I bring a pair of Ugg boots for my son? Or just tennis shoes will do?:) thanks.

Just make sure you have it on airplane mode so you won't connect it to the cell tower while at sea, otherwise ur cell phone data bill will be very very high. :)

Really hope they will fix soon, I am also will be on it on the 25th, been looking forward to this trip since last Oct.;)

We live about 40 miles from the Pier 91 terminal. The last 4 years we’ve parked at the Seattle cruise park lot http://www.seattlecruiseparking.com/ $140 for the week and they will pick you and everyone else in your party up at your car and drop you off at the terminal. Last year we left the house at 10:15am. Arrived at the parking lot at around 10:45am and caught one of the first shuttles to the terminal. Once you’re at the terminal you drop off your checked luggage downstairs at then proceed upstairs to finish the check-in process. Your carryon bags will go through an x-ray machine. Once you’re past this point you’ll see the different lines, get in the one that is for Elite, Platinum, suites, handicap or something like that. Another little tip, have all your paperwork handy, Passports, Boarding passes, etc. nothing get my blood pressure up faster than being behind someone who is digging around trying to find their papers, one year I walked around them, now got them PO’d. Once you’ve gotten all checked in Elite, Platinum, suites, handicap and go out the door to the left on to the platform, everyone else will go out to long line on the right. At least this is how it was last year. I detest driving in Seattle, I had to go to Ballard yesterday mid-morning, and it was terrible. The Mercer Street is still a mess off of I-5. Emilyethanmom, Where about in Washington do you live?

Eaglecw, we live at Newcastle. Thanks for all the info. Can't wait til next week!

Thanks everyone, we are planning to get there by 11:00 because we have to park our car at the week long parking lot that is nearby, so by the time I drop off my hubby, mom and DD. I have to park the car with my DS(5 years old) take the shuttle back to the checking place. I am sure by then we can start check in already!:)

We are leaving with Grand Princess to Alaska next week, I just receive an email said our boarding time for Our desk is at 1:00pm, if I remember correctly we can start check-in at 11:00am, is that true or do I have to wait until after 1:00pm. I have a special needs 8years old just don't want to stuck in a long long line even we are in full suites. Thanks!

On the Coral they were regular.

Thanks Doris!

Just wondering the DVD player in full suite are they bluer-Ray DVD player or just regular DVD player? Thanks!

Can I request egg crates for the sofa bed in full suites? If i request it who do I call or email for this service? We will be on grand princess Full suite in May 25th, 2014. Please help, thanks.

Can I order the whole pizza and bring it back to my room?

There was an issue about leaving with pizzas that someone posted.

Think they want you to eat it there, at least thats the way it was on the Sapphire last month.

But I saw it somewhere that I can order it through room service? But I might be wrong

May I order it and take it back to the cabin?

Help, we are taking our son for the helicopter ride and dog sleeping, just wonder we will be Skagway on May 27th, I booked the tour at 8:45am. should I book the later tour at 10:50am because I saw on the forum this tour has higher chance to get cancelled due to weather issue. Which one is more recommend to book the 8:45am or the 10:50am? I know it's hard to tell but please let me know base on your experience. Thanks:)

Because I have a special needs daughter that will need clean cloth everyday, I didn't expected the same day laundry will be free to full suites. Now I don't have to bring lots quarter with me now!

We will be staying in a full suite,I know we do get free laundry service, but is the same day laundry service be free too for full suite? :)

We have usually arrived by 11AM and had no mobs to deal with. Being in a suite you will have a shorter line anyway…but should be able to avoid the crowds. You will not be able to go to your cabin then once on the ship (usually), but can hang out in the public areas for a bit (lunch) until cleared to go to your cabin. Have a great time!

Thanks for the reply, usually when can we go into our room right away?

Hi everyone:

We will be sailing in the end May to Alaska with Grand Princess. Because we will be traveling with my special needs daughter (8 years old). We would like to find out when is the best time to check in to avoid a lot of people and waiting time? We will be in seattle port. We are very lucky to stay in a full suite this time. We live in seattle so just want to find when is the best time to check in to avoid a lot of people.Thanks.

No, you will have to go to Sabatini's to partake of their breakfast.

 

Mike:)

Thanks for the reply!

Hi everyone, just wondering in a full suites, when you order breakfast room service the food is it from Sabatini? Can I order Mimimosa?
