Yes, Skagway is the farthest point north on the cruise I'm thinking about and that's my concern. Seeing the Northern Lights are #1 on my bucket list. Thanks!

What are the chances of seeing the Northern lights on an Alaskan cruise to Skagway/Inside passage in late September? Thanks!

Thanks for the review! We will be boarding her soon. Glad to hear that the slots pay out some. Was it better during the day or night?

In the past, I have heard about people bringing guests in. Not sure how they do it or if they are big tippers. But the rules say no.

No, only diamond members and above are allowed in the lounge. The Concierge talks with us at least once every cruise when we feel he's checking us out. Last year they even started taking our sea pass card to mark the number of drinks we get in the lounge. It could be different on different ships. Are you Prime? The free drinks in the Casino are a great benefit.

Could it be from lack of cruising and gambling? I'm still getting offers (free interior or balcony) with 7 or 8 available to book. Our last cruise was in August, but we cruised 5 times last year and canceled 2 for family reasons. I'm wondering if accumulated dollars spent per year has something to do with offers. I think with so many new ships coming into service and a recession in the cards, offers will still continue for gamblers.

It is a nice treat to have them delivered to the cabin.

I'm glad you asked! I was wondering the same thing.

I'm booked on this sailing. I had a list of the shows I wanted to see and booked the morning they became available. As soon as you board, go to the Box Office or your app and see if there are any available bookings. If not, show up to the show you want to see 15 minutes before showtime because some people never show up. But for now, keep checking your app. More reservations may be released. For me, I wanted to take the train ride in St. Kitts, but waited to long to book. Only 1 spot was available, but I kept checking everyday. Finally, 3 spots appeared and I was ready to take 2 of them. Good luck!!!

Thanks for the numbers. I've always called 888-561-2234. I wonder why it's a different area code.

It wasn't just a Royal problem. I know someone that got a notification to show up at a school assembly station in 30 minutes, but he doesn't even have a child in school.

We're sailing on Wonder and Oasis in a couple of months. Which ship has the best casino for slot players? Thanks!

We love the Windjammer and think it's better than the main dining room most of the time! Our favorites include: Omelets for breakfast, Bread Puddings at lunch and the selection of foods (even seafood) at dinner.

Higher interest rates could help some people.

I have a free 7 day offer for a balcony or ocean view plus an OBC. I need to decide which ship I want to book.

NICE!

I just noticed both of my bids say "submitted" now. Could it be a change in the process?

I'm booked on Mariner next month and we stop at Labadee for the day. I checked my cruise planner and I see 3 Cabana offers at Barefoot Beach. Over The Water for $1499, Hilltop for $1099 and Standard Cabana for $999. All three options are sold out at this time.

Soremekun, From your signature I see you have booked Carnival 6 times (3 past sailings and 3 future ones). My advice to you is to stay loyal to Royal and move up faster;) Seriously, that is always my advice to young cruisers. We would be Pinnacles if we had stayed loyal for the last 42 years.

Thanks, that's good to know! I guess the denial was specific to the deal I booked. I thought it meant the shareholder benefit was never combinable with other offers.

It's been a long time since I requested a shareholder obc, but I was told it was not combinable with a deal I got from a travel agent that included a nice credit.

I have two B2B cruises booked and my one free prime offer. The upgrade charge is expensive, so I stayed with the free offers.

Do I need to download the ArriveCan app and have a printed QR code from them before I get on Ovation leaving from Seattle?

I have not been able to get in all day.

What about the commitment from Air2Sea? I paid a lot more money to book through them on the day of my cruise because of that commitment.
