Dock at 12:30am. Asking for my sister who is always up at 5am anyways. Just wondering if Princess would restrict people leaving the ship before a certain time?

Trying to catch a 11:15am flight out of Anchorage at 11:15am. I will arrange for a private transfer to get me from the ship can I get off the ship at 5:45 or 6:45? According to the Alaska department of Transportation the tunnel opens outbound at 6am during the summer. I am willing to handle my own luggage. Sailing on the Royal Princess. Any flights later than this would require a overnight to get back to Alberta Canada.

On the Royal Princess do they sell day passes in Alaska for the Enclave? Do you get access to the Enclave with a treatment in the spa? If so do hair stylings count towards this? How long do you get access if they do provide access with spa treatments?

Just wondering if Princess puts the stuff in the cruise planner on sale such as Spa services and excursions? I have gotten some good discounts on RCCL on Cyber Monday and just booked a cruise with Princess yesterday so haven't had a chance to watch prices on the planner yet.

Has anyone been able to arrange a private transfer for pickup at 6:45am from the ship? This would enable access to the 7am tunnel opening getting to Anchorage in time for a 11:15 flight. Flying to Alberta Canada so no other flight options that don't require staying overnight somewhere other then ones even earlier that morning.

Google maps shows 90 minutes. Is google maps that far off?

Ok Thanks doesn't seem like there is any drawback to booking 2 7nights b2b so will check the price and go from there.

Looking at booking a cruise to Alaska next summer half the group is only doing 7 night north and the other half are doing 14 nights return. There is very limited cabin selection for the 14 night cruise however looked at booking 2 7 nights b2b and there is more cabin selection even some of the same cabins are available both directions that aren't available when booking the 14night.. What is the disadvantage of booking 2 7 B2B rather then one 14? If we are able to book the same cabin can we just leave our stuff in the cabin between cruises? If we have to switch cabins what would be the procedure for that? Would you have to check-in at the terminal for the second cruise or could they just do that at guest services?

What is reserve class?

Yes so if you ordered food or drinks to you more then three times you would be money ahead correct? What food can you order from the Ocean Now? Full room service menu?

Would this work as a work around? Pay the Ocean Now fee $15 then use it to order food to your room for free, hence bypassing the room service fee?

Can you set up a standing reservation for each night? 2 tables of six for the same time each night? Traveling with a group of 12.

How about 1 week out?

Would the Cancellation Fee Waiver Program enable some of my group to cancel last minute if they put in new Covid restrictions last minute?

Thanks this was very helpful. Looks like it might be hard to find a late breakfast onboard? Since you filled out the form for Canadian customs in Victoria does that mean you didn't have to do customs in Vancouver during disembarkation? I would love to try Cunard for the classy feal and good food but not sure as the entertainment really doesn't seem to match my taste either not into sitting listening to live music or dancing.

Do they bring in comedians or magicians or acrobats for the main show or just more sophisticated entertainment? Do they run a lot of trivia and other group activities during sea days?

What is Cunards normal cancelation policy (booking from Canada) in regards to the deposit? Looking at doing a cruise to Alaska next year with 5 other couples. Half the couples aren't vaccinated for Covid so they are concerned about what happens if vac requirements are brought back in. Would the Cancellation Fee Waiver Program work for that?

Yes have cruised most of the main lines before. Looking for good food, good service, good main theater evening entertainment and a beautiful ship. Was thinking Celebrity might be a step up in class from NCL/RCI but from recent reviews it sounds like maybe it isn't?

Looking at maybe booking Queen Elizabeth for next summer to Alaska. Have cruise most of the main lines RCCL/Celeb/NCL/Princess/HAL what can I expect different on Cunard would be booking Inside/OV do I still have access to most of the ship with that category of cabin? Looking for good food good main theater entertainment.

Looking at booking the Solstice for Alaska next Aug however reading the board it sounds like Celebrity is tanking? Should I look closer at our other options of NCL Bliss or RCL Brilliance?

Canada

Is the deposit refundable as well? When is final payment for a balcony cabin to Alaska

How do I book a refundable fare on NCL?

The problem with Encore is the rest of the itinerary sucks only 2 days in port.
