As above poster said:If your budget permits I really recommend two cabins. When we took our kids on 30th anniversary cruise we booked two obstructed view balconies next to each other and could close an outer door so two interior cabin doors could be left open and we could talk and walk back and forth between cabins. This was Celebrity Silhouette 10 years ago

Thank you! I was hesitating on some things but sale made me buy

After my two cruises in March i need 53 for for Elite, so just one 10 Day cruise in Concierge or Aquaclass will give me 50. So I too was hoping for 3 CC points. Yeah for 5! Paid most attention to perfect Day as Island was overwhelming in my one trip there. Thought that the showcasing at end of Back to Back cruises that didn't repeat was interesting. I have only done Caribbean/Mexico/Alaska/Bermuda so far but only 62 so still time to go a little farther.

We had been to Alaska (Anchorage) once and visited Denali including the Long Bus ride inside option. So when it came to a cruise I chose a HAL 14 Day RT out of Seattle because it had 10 different ports. We did only 2 excursions, a boat ride close up to a Glacier and a sled dog excursion on wheels as we went in August. My Choice would be the 28Day cruise out of Seattle on HAL Westerdam!

Not central Alaska but: Norwegian Spririt 16 day Alaska and the Hawaii departing Vancouver 8/30 saves the airfare to Hawaii I am skipping balcony for more cruise time in Alaska myself Balcony worth it when traveling with my elderly Mom as she could sightsee while in her nightgown and a cup of tea at hand Drink package not worth it for me either port fees and taxes add a lot to the bare fares Many options Good Luck!

Old San Juan Best Kept Secrets Tour Has any one taken this tour? It is offered through Air B n B . Experiences. My daughter is very interested in this particular tour.

We went to Cartagena January 2020 on a Panama Canal Tour. We had signed up for an excursion to Emerald Jewelry making workshop. But sister went to a different elevator with Mom in mobility scooter than i did and we missed our tour bus. We went out and there were people offering Taxi guided tours. I hired a car with driver and guide to just take us to workshop making clear that was what i wanted. Guide tried to talk us into ditching our excursion and doing a city taxi tour with him. He was pressuring us. Sister noticed we were swinging way wide of destination. We are getting a little panicky.(detour was for Bay of water). We did get to jewelry workshop and thoroughly enjoyed workshop, museum, and store. A apprentice jewelry maker helped tour people make 3 pieces of jewelry, with a real but very low quality Emerald rock and silver wire. One piece of our choosing was free. If we wanted to buy our second two pieces it cost more money but very reasonable. As for security: The taxi had to register it destination before leaving the port and register when it reached the destination. This registration was one or two people at a counter with radios or walkie -talkies and papers. So it seemed taxis were under tight oversight. The guide remarked on a tourist couple on their own with the man having a big expensive camera hanging in front of him. Guide said that was dangerous to be such a tempting target for robbery.

They often offer 5 minute taster massages so you can get a mini taste of style of Massage staff. My biggest disappointment was a 90 minute massage on Disney 12 years ago when I requested a staff person who could give a really intense deep tissue massage. The lady assured me she herself could do it but she was lying. I kept waiting for the massage to start. I should have asked the recommendation of Spa Manager. Didn't book another Spa service until last year. I tried a taster 5 minute massage and then booked with that lady. My massage experiences were so incredibly much better than i booked 8 treatments in 2 weeks of cruising, 3 with her and 5 with another staffer who combined Theragun massager with directed stretches. Fantastic!

There are land based LPC , some short run at hotels and their quality uneven, The land based sometimes show vegetarian and child menu options.

Le Petit Chef & Friends is a cooking competition with a different chef each course Tomato salad, truffle ravioli, steak frites, matcha cake alternate: onion soup, sea bass, chicken breast, sorbet Le Petit Chef & Family has him growing up and marrying pea soup, crab farfalle, filet, fudge brownie alternate: lamb asparagus salad, duck breast, halibut, cherry almond cake This is the dinner where my daughter exclaimed "This isn't Disney, I hope they don't kill the Bunny!" The food is pretty good but the experience is great if you enjoy technology such as 3-D movies. It is very amusing and brought a smile to my Mom's face at 91.

I would recommend getting a full face mask as it makes snorkeling so much easier.

I suggest discussing with Steve Dasseos of The Trip Insurance Store if anything possible in the same situation i insured trip for costs excluding FCC to provide coverage just in case i got Covid. FCC for two people was less than $2,000 total so if we had to cancel it would have stung to lose money but Covid medical expenses could be a potential nightmare if complications
