I will be following along to see how your travels progress and thoughts. I am doing the Arctic Circle July 2024. We have been researching hotels in Amsterdam and distance to the cruise port, so I am very interested in your review and your hotel choice and thoughts. Enjoy your time in Amsterdam and your cruise!!

Live Updates Radiance SB Alaska May 26, 2023
Cherful59 replied to LandlockedInKY's topic in Royal Caribbean International
If you open the app, and click on the calendar I guess (it looks more like a battery to me) near the top center, scroll to the bottom and click on change ship/dates, scroll to the bottom and click on browse our ships, pick Radiance and pick a current date the is sailing with your itinerary (maybe a past one will work, I am not sure about that) and you can check the dining menus. -

Beautiful pics. Thanks for posting them. I haven’t been to Ocho Rios in 20 years and don’t remember where we docked, but I don’t think it was to far from shops. It’s good to know it might be further out than I remembered if I port there again. -
When do Fall 25 Hawaii cruises go on sale?
Cherful59 replied to latebuyer's topic in Royal Caribbean International
I understand the grouchy. In 2018 mom surprised me stating she wanted to go to Hawaii for her next vacation. Mom is and was healthy, just not real mobile, so I placed a call to my sister and begged her to go with to help with luggage and stuff. After trying to arrange and price places to stay and flights from her, ours and different Island locations (prices were quite expensive) I started researching cruises. I started with NCL, but found a much better price and really nice 12 night cruise on Radiance for May 2019 balcony for a great price. Honolulu to Vancouver. I wish you luck in your search and hope all works out for you! -

I have enjoyed every ship I have sailed on, but Lady G is First Class. Smaller (not all the bells and whistles), so pretty, older, but in really good shape. I sailed on her for the first time August 2022. Great ship and crew. Would not hesitate to sail on her again. Just an FYI, my interior room did not have a cooler or fridge. They could maybe put one under the desk if it was really important to you. It was not an issue for us. -

Thanks for the tip! I have a tour which I am guessing will drop us back off by the ship. Since I want to walk around town, I will want the shuttle. Otherwise, I am thinking of cancelling the tour and taking the Blue or City bus to Mendenhall. Anyway I go, I need to get closer into town. -

We will be docking at the AJ dock as well. Can anyone tell me how much further it is from the other ships that dock in town? -
Coffee select card only good on current voyage
Cherful59 replied to firefly333's topic in Royal Caribbean International
For the most part I drink black coffee or a cafe latte, but I was able to use up an old card, bought a new one and get a Frappuccino on Radiance on my 01/2023 cruise. Glad I used all of the drinks on the newest card. -

What is the status of Skagway for 2023 season?
Cherful59 replied to Panhandle Couple's topic in Alaska
I am on Radiance of the Seas August 18th, and they move us from RRF to ORE. I have the White Pass Rail booked in the morning, so unless they move us again, we should be good. Personally, I am really glad they moved us and hope we don’t move again. -
WATER PACKAGE IN OVATION OF THE SEA, IS IT WORTHY?
Cherful59 replied to LoveCruise71's topic in Royal Caribbean International
I buy the water package on the ship as I don’t want to carry it. If the price keeps going up, I might change my mind, but so far I have gotten it at a reasonable price. The water brand was TRUE the last time I was on board, but Royal could change at any time. -
WATER PACKAGE IN OVATION OF THE SEA, IS IT WORTHY?
Cherful59 replied to LoveCruise71's topic in Royal Caribbean International
Sorry, I honestly cannot tell you, but I have been on quite a few cruises and continued to have the same thing happen, so for the last several I decided to buy bottled water just to see if it made a difference and found I do not have the swollen ankle issue. There are other conversations on this forum and some comments on what people thought caused the issue for them. Maybe the addition or lack of minerals, I cannot remember. You could try searching. I am not saying the water is bad. It tastes fine and I drink it on occasion, but I drink a quite a bit of water so I tried to see if drinking bottled water made a difference and it did for me, so I drink much more bottled. -
You might want to figure out what port you are going out of, find out what ship(s) go out of that port at the time you want to cruise and then review on Royals website what each ship offers and decide what is important to your family. Each class of ship will be similar, but not exactly the same. Everyone has a different opinion on what is the best ship for different reasons.
