Has anyone done any of the pre-cruise tours in Vancouver. Wondering if it is worth the money? We will not be in Vancouver long and would like to see some sights. Just not sure if on our own would be better or with the tour.

Thanks Bob.

I assume the wine selection is different at each of the bars on board. Also if i buy a bottle in the MDR,( looks like there is no 'by the glass' for moscato) and I cant finish the whole bottle can I take the rest with me?

Wondering the type of wine choices aboard Radiance. Specifically if they have Moscato on board and prices?

I will be on radiance of the seas in two weeks. We have some early excursions and was wondering how early we will be able to get breakfast? And where would we go to get it?

Wow your responses are amazing- so much good advice and insight. I think we are leaning towards doing an ocean view and using the extra money for excursions.

Also probably going to eliminate May as we want to do some extra time in Denali after our cruise. Possibly end of June now that ocean view is a choice we can afford to go in June.

I am looking at booking on Radiance of the Sea and have a few questions:

1. Looking at either leaving 5/15, 5/29, or 8/21. Is there a big difference in weather for these dates? How about wildlife? What would we be able to do/see differently leaving May vs. August?

2. Is paying the extra worth having a Balcony room vs. Ocean view?

3. Anyone who sailed on other cruise lines to Alaska? Is RC better/worse than NCL or Princess?
