I have been given a classic drink package as one of the perks on our upcoming cruise to Alaska in August. I enjoy a martini (or 2) most evenings, which I see are not included with the classic. Am I able to upgrade to the premium and if so about how much would it cost? TIA

"As some of you may know Canada is very strict about allowing ex felons into their country. We would like to take a cruise to Alaska. Of course the ship has to stop in Canada.
Question: Does Canadian customs check all passengers for convictions and make them disembark and leave the country, even if the ship is only in port for a few hours and the person does not get off the ship to visit our so-called neighbors to the north. "
FYI: Canadians are turned away at the US border for past convictions many times. Some infractions are 30-40 years old with nothing since then and no previous trouble crossing the border. It all depends on the agent on duty as to how deep they dig into a persons history. I've also read on some of the Alaskan excursions (I'm sailing on one this year) that your passport is needed as you do cross into Canada. ie. the train in Skagway.
Happy sailing from a "so-called neighbour to the North" ;)

We booked a cabin on deck 5. Our thoughts were the majority of "hot" days should be when we are in the Caribbean and we will spend those days off the ship exploring. So looking forward to this "grand" experience!!!!

DH and I are in the process of booking this cruise. We want it to be special as we are celebrating our 30th anniversary on board :D. This is our 2nd cruise but first with Cunard. I am curious about the sheltered balcony cabins. How sheltered are these areas? Are we able to "enjoy" the sound and smell of the ocean? As we will be spending time in the Caribbean, we want to enjoy as much of the sun as possible. :confused::confused:

I am so happy and blessed with the responses to my post. Shamefully, I had not even thought of Christmas decorating. My DH is all about the decorations and everything we do at home. I think I may just surprise him with some of these wonderful ideas. Thanks so much!!! And I will definitely pull out all the stops for dining and the theme nights. At least as much as
possible!!!!

Hi, my husband and I have taken one cruise and that was on Carnival a number of years ago with 2 of our children and another family. It was a great experience and we enjoyed it immensely. For our 30th anniversary, we want to do something really special. We have decided on a Queen Mary 2 cruise from New York to the Caribbean: for the first time it will be just the 2 of us!!
We are really looking forward to the formal and theme nights (there are 5!!!). I want to look like I fit in without looking like I'm trying to fit in :confused:. So my question is (silly as it may be :o); on the theme nights (Black and White ball, Masquerade ball, Christmas Eve ball, Christmas ball, New Year's Eve ball), do I wear my formal wear (ball gown or in the case of the Buccaneer ball, Pirate outfit) to dine in? We will be dining in the Britannia early sitting. Also, are long (floor length) dresses the norm for these events? How elaborate are the Pirate outfits? My husband is particularly looking forward to this night.
Thanks for your patience (with the newbie), all info and advice in advance. :)
Celebrity and binoculars
in Ask a Cruise Question

Hi. DM and I are sailing to Alaska in August. In the stateroom description it mentions the use of binoculars, does anyone have any knowledge of the ones used by Celebrity? Is it one per cabin? Would I be better off to bring my own?
