Want another cruise line? Cruise Critic conveniently list at least 40 other choices. We are not gamblers, but somehow we are on the Princess Casino Deals list, just got an offer for $75 per person on a 16 day Hawaiian round trip. Along with many others... Look around.
If town is close, go to town and have a meal of your choice, hit a bar or two, do some shopping, hit a bar or two, get back to the ship while you still can.
Not quite the way it worked. At a point in time Royal “gave” an adjustment to Celebrity cruisers. -or at least this is what happened to us. When the 2011 points conversion happened on Royal, we had five credited cruise credits with only one actual cruise. Thus four credit adjustment.
The average cruise passenger doesn’t even know that there is a library on the ship. If you want more safety send the teen to the R Bar. No one at it while the ship in port, except for staff. (No this is not a joke)
Those precious Royal pool towels are worth millions per towel. Our steward has given us towels to use in our suites since before the pandemic. (Maybe we asked for them, I really don't remember)
As stated, if you are going to cruise to Alaska, you want Glacier Bay included. Also, ships out of Vancouver are better than out of Seattle.
We’ve been many, many times on various lines. But for one timers, the above advice is mandatory.
Also, I would want the big three on the cruise… Juneau, Ketchikan and Skagway.
cruise lines use either reverse osmosis processes or steam evaporation to desalinate water (remove the salt content) before adding chlorine and minerals to make it safe for consumption.
