To be honest, we originally only went to Alaska because it was our son’s choice (college graduation cruise). My husband and I both said it would be a one and done. Despite getting Covid on the ship and not knowing that I had it and having an accident which sent me to the emergency room with a broken wrist, we had an amazing time! We can’t wait to go back and are booked for next June! You were going to love it!

Are you saying that you want to go to dinner at 6 and then again later?

We booked a SV in March 2023 for a sailing in October 2024. We got the last cabin.

The casino opens anywhere from 30 minutes to an hour after leaving port. We were in the casino every night on our southbound cruise.

I would never pay in full unless final payment was due. We do use a TA, but I always put the final payment date on the calendar in my phone and am usually ready to pay it before my TA even says anything. Also, I often go into my account on the website to check prices, sales, shore excursions, etc, and it states on the account when the due date is.

We were on a Caribbean cruise in December and it was cold one evening. Everyone was wrapped in blankets in Lawn Club Grill. I was so cold that it wasn’t even enjoyable. Going to Iceland /Ireland in a couple of weeks and we won’t even consider LCG

They aren’t available until 30 days out so it will be more than a couple of days.

Oceanview cafe is the buffet. They also have the mast grill. The MDR is open on sea days. For a charge there is The Porch and Sushi on 5 open.

What makes you think he said that? I don’t believe it for a minute. We have had the pleasure of sailing with Captain Matt a couple of times and have gotten to know him. He would NEVER do something reckless and act as if he could do what he wants. He wouldn't take the chance of losing his job. He is an EXCELLENT captain!

Really hard to say. The earliest you will be able to walk off is about 7:00 am. The traffic isn’t the best getting to the airport either. When we disembarked in Barcelona our flight was around 11:30, but we didn’t think we would make it, so we stayed there for a day. You might make it, but it could be stressful. If you don’t care then go for it. Have a great cruise!

We always make a reservation because we like to eat at 7:00 and that’s a popular time. We have never had to wait for a table with a reservation

Our flight is at 11 from Amsterdam. We didn’t think we would make it having to get there from Rotterdam and the mess at the Amsterdam airport and having to be there 3 hours ahead of time. so we are leaving the next morning. Good luck to you.

They aren’t. They are in the classic drink package, as they still have traces of alcohol

Non alcoholic beer and wine are included in the classic drink package

Yes, but it’s still available. If you buy the package you aren’t even paying for that day so it’s actually lagniappe

Love Hilton Hawaiian Village In Honolulu

The beverage package is available the last morning

Just a heads up……the non alcoholic wine is not available on the non alcoholic package. Neither is the N/A beer……if this makes a difference.

Thank you for the information on Eurovision! I’m intrigued. Going to check into it more.

Regular glass bottles and 12 oz cans

I did. That’s how I looked it up

Have never heard of Eurovision so had to look it up. It is a singing thing?

Can’t answer your question, although we are doing the Iceland/Ireland cruise next month……..just wanted to say “hi neighbor”! We are also from Waukesha.

It makes total sense to some. A couple of martinis or glasses of champagne, bottled water and coffees more than cover the cost. We wouldn’t sail without it. It would cost us a fortune if we didn’t have the package and we aren’t heavy drinkers 🤷🏻‍♀️

Thank you so much! Now I can show this to my parents 😂. Appreciate it!
