Thanks for all of the cabin photos…I keep reading about the R-class showers being so small but it appears it’s about the same size as Princess ships below minisuites. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What category is your cabin photos? Sorry, cabin cat is Veranda. Have seldom used it, too windy, Sea spray in morning, not warm enough on most days, yet nice to have. Floor to ceiling slider easy to operate. Full width glass, except slider frame/pillars. About 4 ft deep, 10 ft wide. Nice thick chair cushions provided, but stay inside when not used.

Rare BSR Posted September 18, 2023 #211 Share Posted September 18, 2023 @FetaCheese How does tendering work? Do you need to get a ticket ahead of time? Do suites get priority? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do suites get priority? Tender port Sitka. Yes, tickets required, must go to Regatta lounge (showroom). Early shorex departures 1st. For independent, get tickets, then wait to be called by #. Later, open tendering, just go to tender platform, no tickets. See my earlier post re: tender platform. Used ship lifeboats. No sure if suites have priority.

Rare FetaCheese Posted September 18, 2023 Author #214 Share Posted September 18, 2023 Sitka (tendering) Was on our own, walked small town. Highlights were St. Michaels Russian Orthodox Cathedral, center of town. Street closed to traffic. Small stores, street food vendors, coffee shop, galleries, bookstore, a couple restaurants. Nice Marina, salmon processing facility. Also, Russian Bishop's home, a US National Park Service museum. Need to make tour appointment, free. Didn't have time to wait for next tour, but was shown a 20 min. video, very interesting. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you know if they were filling up any spare seats with independents after any early shorex was called to board ? IE: If only one or two shorex were ready to board, and there where 10 seats spare, whould the first 10 independents be called down to the tender deck ?

Mixed independents in with ship shore excursion tours on the tenders. Maybe not the first one but we got on after group 1 was called. Key is to get there when the first excursions are suppose to arrive in the lounge area and get your card. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ask your Butler Usually those in top suites can just go to the Tender area flash their room card & they are on the tender if space is available They do a head count & limit the number on each tender Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A while ago (August?) someone asked about safe size; and another poster's answer was smaller than my laptop (which fit in our D-category's safe in June with room to spare) so I posted that I thought it was bigger. Low and behold, our C-1 category safe (on this trip) was tiny, not even close to fitting a laptop. So, there appear to be an older, tiny safe and a newer, bigger safe. No photo or measurement...sorry! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our June itinerary said that we would travel inside going northward and outside going southward. We did the opposite (which was in Currents). Our September itinerary said that we would travel outside going northward and inside going southward. We did the opposite (and Currents said inside in both directions). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All is well. Food great, no major issues, The GM is Gabriel Ovesea - ultra-competent. Captain is O’s best - Giulio Ressa. Can’t remember if anyone’s handling a Meet and Greet for this upcoming segment. PS: The fishing is great (and so are the bears). Good to finally meet you in person, Don.
