Our window opened up last night to book shore excursions for our Alaska cruise in May. We are traveling with our 2 year old DD and specifically looked to excursions that did not list an age limit. When I went to try and reserve the excursions, she was not able to be selected. I am assuming it is because 0-2 was listed as $0.00. Is there any way to book these excursions online? Should I just book for the 3 of us that it would allow me to and then see about getting her added once on the ship? Or do I need to call and book excursions over the phone, if that is even an option?

Also, all of the liquor tastings and Palo brunches were sold out online. Where do I go onboard to see about getting a reservation or being put on a waitlist?

Thanks in advance!

It usually means that they are currently reserved. However' date=' don't panic. MANY people make reservations on specialty cruises and later cancel them. Keep looking on line and something is likely to open up.

 

One hint--you can reserve an inside cabin now and move to an outside when one opens. At least you'd have a room on the ship and if what you want doesn't become available before the penalty date, you can cancel the reservation for a full refund.[/quote']

 

That is what my current plan is. I was just surprised they sold out this early.

I am looking at Panama next April and it is only giving me the option for interior state rooms. The rest say unavailable. Does that mean they are already sold out or will they release more rooms as time goes on? I am new to DCL, so I don't know how they work.

I've been in a suite on HAL and NCL (in the Haven).

On NCL were in a 2 bedroom family suite and loved having the separate bedrooms and living area. The Haven pool, hot tubs, and sauna were put to good use. The private restaurant was perfect for avoiding crowds. The butler was even able to bring food from any of the restaurants to our room (which was nice because we were traveling with an infant). It was pricey, but we used their friends and family sail free promotion and ended up paying only slightly more than we would have paid for a Neptune suite on a similar itinerary.

On HAL, the Neptune lounge was nice, but I found very little use for it. The unlimited laundry was a wonderful perk and I used that a few times. Other than that, the benefits felt almost non existent.

To be fair, I was in the Neptune suite 6 years ago and the Haven suite last year. My memory could be fading. Would I book a suite with NCL again, in a heartbeat. Would I book a suite with HAL again, if I needed the space.

Does anyone know if a pack and play will fit in the master bedroom in a 2-bedroom suite? And I mean anywhere in it, even if it is blocking the closet.
