Oh my gosh. I wonder if you can hear basketballs bouncing here in this room and I just don’t know it because it’s Alaska. I just heard this loud sound like someone bouncing a basketball. It was shaking the entire room for a couple minutes then it stopped. This is at 7:30am in Alaska

 

I am not sure where your cabin is located but on cruisedeckplans it shows no cabins below the basketball courts. What is above you?

I think it’s supposed to be rooms. I’m 10103

I don’t know where you live in Canada, but, Alaska is absolutely breathtaking. It truly is not to be missed

I can definitely appreciate nature's beauty... I live in Alberta, about 4 hours from Jasper and Banff. If I want ice and glaciers, I can take a day trip. Maybe that's why Alaska isn't on my bucket list.

Yup, all cabins above and below. 🤷‍♀️

@Saint Greg...THANKS for the detailed Brothel tour, I really enjoyed it, times have changed but yet they haven't changed, if you get my drift.

 

Hard to believe this Alaska cruise is winding down and we will have to wait for your next adventure.

 

You have covered a LOT of ground this cruise and it is always interesting!

Yean I mean I got a picture of it right here. It was like this on both sides. Right at the steps. I tried to past this one and she wouldn’t let met.

 

 

Do the performers use the aisles at some point? I've seen this done at different shows during and before they need access.

That open space behind your cabin is most likely housekeeping. They may even have a crew elevator that brings up luggage and room service and the like. See where it opens to the hall on the other side? I was in a balcony across from one once and they were dragging luggage out from there on embarkation day. It had to get there somehow and they definitely didn't get those big luggage carts through that little doorway.

I don’t think they did. When I’m on the front row they’re always running in front of me. This show they had two guys come over the aisles on trapezes but that was at or near the end of the show. This was all in the first 10 mins of the show that I couldn’t get down there

Other than this morning’s wakeup bang, the room has been pretty quiet. On carnival door slamming is a big thing. I don’t know if it’s typical of NCL or just this ship but these doors don’t slam. I have a habit of stopping the door with my back foot. That allows me time to check to make sure I have everything and it keeps the door from slamming. But if I do decide to let it fly, the door doesn’t even shut all the way I have to go back and pull it tight.

Another thing while I’m thinking of things. The door slamming thing isn’t really a thing here. Think I’ve hear one door slam this week. Why? Doors don’t really slam here. If I let mine go it may not even close all the way. Then you have to go back and pull it tight. But no slams.

 

This is what I loved about MSC and NCL, basically NO door slams! Didn't realize how annoying it really was until I didn't have to hear, sometimes seemingly non stop on all my Carnival cruises.

Today is kind of a weird day. I think we were in Ketchikan 1-7pm last year. I’m not even sure what it is today but my excursion was moved from 2:20 to 3:45. So I’m guessing I’m either eating dinner in Ketchikan or at O’Sheehans.

I didn’t realize the sandwich already came with potatoes.

I definitely heard some banging in the buffet.

But im two decks down. Three decks down from the court.

We were talking about drinks and the ladies at the bar decide they want to try a duck shot/fart (depending on if you’re in icy strait or Juneau.) I had one at the saloon in Juneau last year.
