That sounds like a FANTASTIC plan!!

This is the coolest thing to go through. I understand the wanting to plan things out as soon as the decision is made to book the cruise. I am the same way. But, just remember as well, that with the people doing B2B's as mentioned above, some people could be staying in Whittier even though it is a pretty remote town, or they could have people picking them up, so they all may not be trying to get an excursion or a transfer. Like said above, transfers are usually pretty easy to do. If it makes you feel more comfortable, call NCL and ask them to add the transfer on to your reservation. Then if an excursion does show up that you want to take instead, just cancel the transfer and book the excursion. That way, even if you are unable to book an excursion before it fills up, your trip to the airport would still be covered.

Thank you very much.

Enjoying your review!! Happy cruising to you both. We filled out the accessibility form for me and one other person we are traveling with for wheelchair assistance, can you tell me where you would actually meet someone to get this assistance? We are in a suite, but the other person is not. Thanks in advance.

Also, the luggage tags might actually go to your TA's office instead of directly to you. We have never used a TA, but since they control your reservation it is a possibility. They may already have them, but if you don't receive them, you can print them out from your e-docs. Happy Cruising.

We are in a Suite on the Jewel on our upcoming cruise, and we got our luggage tags and concierge letter in the mail about 2 1/2 weeks ago. Every time we have been in the Haven/Suite we have gotten luggage tags in the mail. But I have heard of some people not getting them and having to just print them. That is the only "documentation" we have ever received in the mail.

Thanks everyone. We will be flying on Alaska Airlines.

Thank you!

Yes, US citizens with passport. Thank you both for the information.

I tried to search, but couldn't find what I was looking for. First time transiting SEA, and I'm trying to find out what the procedure is in SEA when you are transiting there to fly into Vancouver. Will we go through any kind of customs/immigration at SEA? Is there separate domestic and international terminals? Will we have to go out of security and go back in? Thanks in advance for any knowledge you can pass on.

Sorry, but this response confused me. You booked direct with NCL and not a TA? or you did not book direct with NCL and booked with a TA?

Did you book through a TA? If so, it might be something that they are giving you.

That was my first thought as well.

While this is true, the rebranding was done way before he passed.

It means you can BID to upgrade. Does not guarantee that you will get it. I guess I should say that is if the email mentioned bidding. I've never personally seen an email that just says pay this and you upgrade automatically without bidding against other people.

Also the Hilton Riverside.

I just love your sense of humor. Really enjoy reading what you have to say. 🙂

I'm on the Cruise Control band wagon as well!

Passengers attempt to bring 100 bags of weed onto cruise ship | Watch (msn.com) According to the clip, they said it was for personal use...

Does the cruise line that you are sailing on offer transfers? We are sailing on NCL, and I know that they do.

We are getting on at the same time as you. I'm looking forward to reading another live review from @YVRteacher if she does one. Happy New Year everyone!!

This happened to us on our B2B a couple of years ago. A group chartered the Vibe for the entire week. It was a bummer because we had so much fun in the vibe the first week but didn't get to use it the second week. We were notified ahead of the sailing that they cancelled our reservation for the vibe, so we knew going in, but although it was still a bummer, it didn't ruin our cruise. We made friends with the bartender, and he said that the group hardly used the area. The group took over some of the other venues as well.

We (or I should say "I") like the longer cruises. Hubby is just a long for the ride. lol.. If I can't do a longer, then I look for a B2B. Sometimes you can get them where they actually go to different ports on each leg of the cruise. Depends on when and where you are going. Thank you very much for your review, we like the Escape as well, and it has been fun following along. Thank you for your service and congratulations on your retirement.

We didn't mind the flow boxed water either.
