Thanks for the informative video. No worries. I can take a joke, so no offense taken. Now that I've seen it, I'm thinking it's not as bad as I was thinking. In my head I was picturing a shared balcony between multiple staterooms.

What is an infinite veranda? I've seen it referenced many times, but have never seen it. Does anyone have a link or photos?

I agree. Everybody pays for the "luxury" of cruising and are free to enjoy as they see fit

We're cruising next week as well.

I'm in agreement with this, and would go further to pay extra for other upgrades to the experience like early boarding, premium seating in restaurants and poolside, etc...call it a VIP package or....

I'm sorry to learn this right now, but it's good to know the service isn't affected by the deterioration of the aging ship. We're on the Eclipse for the June 18 Alaska cruise - in a sunset sky suite.

This is the route we chose, and for the same reason. We can pack less since we have laundry service

Price for upcoming June 2023 Eclipse 7 day

This was very helpful. I've never noticed the clocks before. Like OP, we get lost after exiting elevators for the first 4-5 days.

What was "the George Smith incident"?

We returned from a cruise on 8/15/22 where my daughter used a birth certificate (maiden name) and a drivers license (married name). She booked the cruise with her married name. She didn't encounter any problems. My sister used the same identification on a December '21 cruise without any problems.
