Great review! I was on this sailing as well so it was fun to see photos of people I met on the ship.

Did the itinerary change last minute? The first attachment shows the sea day is the last day. But the fun times show the sea day as the first day. Just wondering if I can expect a last minute change for my cruise next month.

Keep checking. My Radiance cruise for next month didn't show as available until yesterday.

The traffic in and out of Galveston can be terrible. I agree that taking a ship transfer can often be a more economical option than a ride share. I wouldn't schedule a flight out of Hobby any earlier than 2PM.

No more boarding time selection. Your app will tell you the boarding window and you show up when you like.

Are you staying overnight in Anchorage? My friend took the shuttle in July and she said it was very easy. They went to the convention center instead of the airport and were on the ship around lunch time. we were on a cruise tour on met them on the ship about 2.

We traveled this summer with someone who booked an interior(we had a balcony), she was always right next to us in the land portion. Same accommodations with Princess at least.

Buying it there is $50/person. The line in July was very long. It moved quickly but it still took us a good 45 minutes to board. Same on the way back down.

I did this cruise back in July. How are you getting to Whittier? I agree with dropping your luggage off then going to explore before embarking on the ship. We ate lunch in Anchorage and then too the princess shuttle to the ship. Didn't bother trying to see Whittier as there isn't much there.

Thank you so much! You have been so helpful!

Thank you for your response is the wheelchair assistance visible or does she look for a sign or simply find any worker and ask for a wheelchair?

Hi all, Boarding the Royal Princess in a little over a week in Seattle. My mom is coming with and has some mobility issues. We are arriving at different times so I am wondering how difficult luggage drop off will be for her. She uses a walker and the only youtube video I could find showed a long line just for luggage drop. Is there a different line for people who need assistance? Is it well marked? She will be dropped off by a shuttle and have her disabled placard with her if that matters. Thank you.

If you booked your cruise prior to December 2022 then yes, you would have the old Plus package. You could upgrade to the current Plus package or pay the Ocean now activation fee.

Yes, if you booked with a TA they will have to add it. If you booked direct, you have to call.

He can purchase a gondola only pass and ride up with you.
