    Chase Reserve all the way for anyone who travels, which you clearly do since posting on a cruise board. Sapphire = 95 annual fee with only double points on food / travel. Reserve = 150 annual fee (450-300)  (300 travel credit which would be almost impossible not to get). Plus a slew over other perks such as global entry, priority pass, better travel insurance etc.  Just the triple points alone will make up the 55 dollar difference. One time in an airport priority pass club with a few snacks and drinks easily covers the 55 also. Go for the reserve.

    Hands down...Best Chase card!!!

    Solstice is offering a 5 and a half hour salmon fishing excursion in Ketchikan. Has anyone done it? We can't find any reviews so we are hesitant to book without knowing what we are getting into. Is it worth the cost? Catch anything? Food? Restrooms? Helpful crew? Our cruise is in a week. Thx.

    You will be in the middle of King Salmon Season and just short of the Silver Season,  If you can get out of the bay for a few hours you should have pretty good luck for a couple of Kings... If the boat stays close to the bay you will have a nice boat ride with lot's of Eagle s to look at!!!  Enjoy the adventure...

    Just back from two weeks on the Edge.  We were traveling with another couple and the two guys enjoyed evenings at the Sunset bar with a cigar and a bourbon.  Well, we recognized and he knew us, the bar manager Imade from the Reflection TA we did in '17. We spent many hours with him at the Martini bar on the crossing.  He was able to provide Blanton's bourbon for us to enjoy throughout the cruise.  I think he only had two bottles available on the ship and we went through most of it.  He also had,one night, a bottle of Lagavulin Scotch(one of my favorites) that we enjoyed.  We both gave Imade a nice tip at the end of our two weeks for his great service.

     

    Blanton's is hard to find for me in California, so we really enjoyed having it most nights at the Sunset bar.

     

    Btw,  I was able to get and take home a bottle of Blanton's Gold(not available in the US) from a liquor store in St. Martin.  

     

    So, for any Bourbon drinkers, hopefully they have re-supplied Blanton's for your cruise.  A great drink!

    Now if I could find a nice bottle of Whistle Pig "Boss Hog" on board!!!! 😒

  5. Over Sanitizing is creating more outbreaks and sickness!!! Wash your hands when you need too and for me Ketel One Vodka :)

     I manage a fair amount of amount of young sales people 25-35 year old's who are constantly using the hand sanitizer's and oddly enough are always getting sick??? Plenty of info to back this up, and I would venture to say that the widespread outbreaks have been getting more prevalent over the years???  Just my .02 cents worth...
