I really really hope this will happen. He’s a great kid, kind, funny but shy. He’s not good at approaching other kids. But he falls into groups really well & kids like him.

I started the Roll Call for our cruise and maybe someone will have boys his age. 

Lol on skipping dinner with us! That would be exactly what he’d want to do, too. So you eat your dinners with him & he takes care of himself otherwise?

We booked Alaska so I’ll want to share some glacier-gazing time with him & we have a few excursions. Unfortunately, we can’t do the more adventurous ones because I have vertigo issues. 

It only takes one other kid he bonds with to make it so much more fun.

Thx!

Thanks for these pix!  It looks larger than I thought.  I hadn't looked online yet for actual photos of the room.

I ended up booking a suite because we like hanging out, lol.  However, I will check out the costs of what you've all suggested.

Thanks!

Ha!😄

I’m wondering if because I booked 17 months early that will give me less incentive offers?

Are you saying unused OBC from Princess will come back as cash?

Thanks, everyone! Will start making calls today.

Thanks, everyone! Will start making calls today.

Thank you - that’s very helpful. I don’t have a TA but I’ll start looking for one who specializes in cruises. Princess gave us $900 in on-board credit so that’s the price to beat.

I booked Alaskan cruise for 8/20 through Princess today. Is there any advantage to moving the reservation over to a TA? The Princess booker said he’d send me a form, it was easy to do & nothing would change. 

Thank you.

I called & found out Pacific & Golden have the 1.5 bathrooms in Owner’s Suite. But Golden not in Alaska in summer 2020 & Pacific doesn’t have a date I can use. Next time!

Thanks! I will check that out!

I’m all set! Just booked an 11-Day Denali Explorer tour in a Coral Princess Premium Suite beginning 8/1/20. Very excited!

Fantastic! Thank you.

TY.

TY. I’ll check that board. No, I wasn’t aware of the Double Occupancy so that’s out! We are looking at a suite, larger than Mini Suite but I know there are choices there.

Hello,

We’ve never cruised. We are planning our 1st for Alaska in June or August 2020. We are a couple (50’s & 60’s) & our 16 yo DS (who will be 17 then). We do a lot of road trips & normally get Marriott room upgrades but DS prefers to sleep on the carpeted floor with blanket, pillows & his gaming stuff. Sometimes on the couch. Never pulls out the couch.

I think we will splurge for a suite but wonder about space. Think Pigpen from Charlie Brown! So I’m also wondering about adjoining rooms but (1) probably even more expensive & (2) I want us together on same balcony.

We are looking at Princess. It seems it would be the Pacific or Grand. They seem more worn down than Coral Princess which people seem to like. 

Considering HAL but I really can’t abide smoke drifting onto our balcony which I heard happens even though they’ve tightened No Smoking rules.

Any suggestions on suite choices? Thank you!
