During the summer Alaska cruise season the Vancouver Fairmont hotel rates are triple the $370.00 rate you were given for November.

The Michelangelo and Casablanca Hotels are both great.

As George, the marine biologist, pulls a golf ball from the whales blow hole.

Looks like nobody was correct on when the 2026 itineraries were coming out (except for the world cruise). Anyone care to make an educated guess when the rest of the 2026 cruises will be released?

Thank you sir, that’s what I’ll do.

I like the idea of booking a “black car” sedan from a reputable service like Blacklane. I’m wondering if I should have my TA get involved with this.

What is the best way to get from our hotel near Times Square to Cape Liberty. Thanks

I’d be right there with you sir!

Good one Keith. I fell for it hook, line and sinker!

Thank you lvi.

Keith, what/where is CC’s sister site?

I voted a few times myself.

Could March 12th be the day all 2026 itineraries are released? I read that is the day the ‘26 world cruise is released to the general public for booking. Greg

Keeping our fingers crossed for Alaska in 2026.

Sounds interesting. Looking forward to trying this new venue in December.

Now that’s what I call thinking outside of the box. Excellent!

Touche’

You know Beav, I read over that original post 3 times before I posted it and didn’t catch that mistake!

The SHIP is our destination as well. The itinerary is just icing on the cake for us.

I’m with Aquahound. It is ALL about the ship to us. Itinerary is secondary, just icing on the cake. Greg

We thought we would throw this out there to you more well-seasoned Crystal folks. A reliable source at Crystal tells me that Serenity will be back in Alaska in the summer of 2006. Here are the two options we have come up with for an Alaska cruise. 1. Stay in a standard room with veranda and do a Back 2 Back for 14 days. 2. Upgrade to an Aquamarine Suite for the 7 nights and not do the Back 2 Back. We would love to get your feedback on this. Greg

Julia, I agree with what Keith says. Get with your TA. Our Dec.4th cruise was also not included in the suite upgrade program but our TA got it for us.

That’s great news, thanks for the update.

That would be great.

I’ve been told that Serenity will return to Alaska in the summer of 2026. Hope that comes to fruition. We were unable to go this coming summer but are planning on going in ‘26 hopefully with Crystal.
