What is NCL's policy? Does it have to be in a certain time frame and due you get OBC on Visa refund? Thanks for any help!

Birdtravels, Than you very much!

Can someone please tell me what the"enclosed smoking area" on the Encore is like? Are there any chairs or any exhaust system? Can you also smoke in the Encore's casino?  Thanks!

It would be great if we could swap the supposed-free booze for the coffee package.  Who drinks $110 of booze a day?  Is there really anybody paying that much who didn't get it "free" with a package? The 20% gratuity fee alone costs more than I've ever spent on booze in a month, let alone a week. The coffee is listed as $12.95.  If the booze truly costs $110, you think they would have no problem exchanging the two.

Very true, I'd at least like to be given the choice of the cooffee package instead of the alcohol package.

So many good suggestions!

^^^this.  I've been on six AK cruises, and had a great time on every single one.  IIRC, two in April, two in May, one in September and one in October.

 

OP asks for "fair weather," which doesn't necessarily mean "warmest weather."  That likely makes it a crap shoot.

We will be cruising the 3rd week of September. Any guesstimate on weather at that point? Thanks

No kidding! 🙄 Not everyone gets the CBP or the PBP. @bluecruisin ask a simple question and I provided an equally simple answer. 

Thanks for your help!

Can someone please tell me how much the corkage fee is?

when will you be in Alaska and what is your home environment like?  what are you use to?

We live in NC, very hot and humid (90s)in the summer and not very cold in winter. Never usually reaches below 30's. I generally run hot.

Thanks to everyone who has helped me!

Thanks so much for all the help! Maybe I should give some more info and preferences. I much prefer dresses over pants , shorts or capris. But will bring a couple pairs of jeans and capris. Layers are a great idea and will just bring one combo rain proof windbreaker. Should I also bring a sweatshirt to wear alone or under jacket if colder? Any additional help and answers will be appreciated!

4 pre cruise nights in Honolulu , 5 N on ship in Hawaii then 6 N at sea and then 5 N in Alaska to debark in Vancouver. I am at a total loss as what to pack with 1 carry on and one checked bag. Please help me!

Amazon sells a few different types of battery operated heating pads.

that you can purchase and begin package? Thanks for your help!

We will be sailing on the Spirit and would love a place outdoors to sit and enjoy the sights Thanks for your help!

I would cruise on the Icon now. In a couple of you might be cruising without him and can do the Haven then

How does that work with ala carte pricing in many of the specialty dining venues? Thanks for your help

Can just one person in the cabin add this on or so both people have to?

We have the classic beverage package but thought I noticed no mention of premium coffee. Can you add an unlimited  coffee package  to that?? Or better exchange the alcohol package for a coffee package? Thanks to anyone who can help me!

Can someone  please share any information with me?

I would bring one just in case.  As @lovecruzin said, some sailings still require vaccinations as well as testing.
