As a marriage counselor, I often do the same...making sure, of course, to use all "I statements." 😉

When last I was there in 2019, there was not. However, if you are driving, as you pull into the pier, I recall there is a a small shopping plaza with a TJ Maxx , I believe.

I hope she will be as we are sailing on the Summit on May 25th. Our last cruise was on the Summit on 2019 and the sommelier we had in Luminae was disappointing. I love to try different wines and he was not a wine drinker so he just brought the same thing every night. Would love to have someone with greater expertise!

Few things are more fun to read than a Charla review! I'm 7 weeks away from my first cruise in almost 4 years and I've been living vicariously thru you and @Jim_Iain!

I am thrilled to see this because I’m in that cabin# on the Summit. I could tell by the plans that it was significantly bigger and, for 3, that is delightful. We also got a very good price. Concerning menus, I believe that in M class ships, one can request to order from the Blu menu, as well as MDR. I may be mistaken about Blu though.

We are booked on the Summit in a Aqua Suite and are assigned Luminae as our dining room.

@Stem to Stern stated it perfectly. What a beautiful start to your vacation!

I'm excited to read your review! We are booked on this trip in June of 24. This will be my first time on HAL. Thank you for taking the time to share your vacation!

Charla, I am thrilled to be able to read another of your travelogues! I was about to call it a review and it didn't really capture it. Gen Z is beautiful, definitely her mother's daughter. Wishing you both a fabulous sailing! 💕

Oooh...I didn't even think.of hair products. Brilliant!

Umm…okay????

Thank.you! And, @Marylebone37 oops, @Lena11033, cheers!

What marvelous service, Jim. I’m sure your daughter was delighted!

I hope you have better luck, as well. We are boarding on 5/25 so please let me know how you make out…or make up, as it might be! 😉

We are eagerly awaiting out 10 day on the Summit, sailing in May. It's our first since the shut down and the Summit refurb and we have a lovely amount of OBC. For any Summit passengers, recent or current, do you know what cosmetic and facial care lines are being carried? Luxury creams is something I love to treat myself to, especially with what feels like "free money!" Thank you!

From the sounds of it, a drunk server totally tracks!

This is incredibly helpful…thank you!

That sounds like a fabulous option, if a little daunting. Certainly worth a serious consideration. Thank you!

Hello! My husband and I are looking at an Alaskan Cruise Tour on Holland. Can anyone tell me their experience? Were you pleased with the land portion? How were the accommodations? What meals were included? Anything not to miss? Thank you!

I don't. I'm simply open to other's experiences. My line of choice is Celebrity but Holland and Princess are the only two lines that offer Glacier Bay. I have sailed with Princess once many years ago and am seeking fresh perspectives. Please feel free to share if you are so inclined.

Please share your opinions between Princess and Holland America cruise tours! I have it narrowed down to a 14 day south bound (land first and 7/7 split between land and sea) on each with very similar intineraries. We have never sailed Holland but have enjoyed Princess. The price is about the same and both are inclusive. This is our first time to Alaska so I would love to hear from experienced travelers of what to look for, the things not to miss and what can be a pass. Thank you for any insight you can offer!

Hello! My husband and I are looking at a 14 day in July of 2024. The Sapphire, Royal, and Grand all offer the same voyage, with the Grand being a wee bit cheaper. We are definitely looking at a mini suite. I haven’t sailed Princess in many years but thoroughly enjoyed it when I did. I’ve read that, for Alaska, Princess is a leader. With that, I would would love to hear your opinions about the Grand and, certainly, the other two mentioned. Thank you!
