That's a feature, not a glitch. 🤣 But seriously, we've spent so much time in those shops at AK ports that I actually hope they are all closed (they aren't). Weather sensitive SHOREX are certainly a chance of cancellation. For somebody taking a once in a lifetime AK cruise, they should probably plan around that. I've been to AK six times and have another coming up very soon. I have no issues with being "stuck" on the ship while in one or more ports.

NCL sent this letter about dry dock and changes on Joy

That makes one. -
What will the new Cruisenext offer be?
ChiefMateJRK replied to jy0ung1's topic in Norwegian Cruise Line
Can they be combined? -
Yep. When I heard the early reports, I refused to believe them, thinking "even NCL couldn't be this stupid." Well, I guess I was wrong.

So, no mention of the "streamlined" observation lounge?🤣 -
I've sailed AK on the first sailing of the season (in April) the last (late October) and four times in between. AK is always beautiful and I enjoy it every time. Sure, some SHOREX require warmer, dry days, so that's when we do those. The train in Skagway would be great regardless of the weather. "Bad" weather is a relative term. I live in the desert, so "bad" is sunny and hot. Overcast and rainy? I love it. Snow? Even better! We were on the Encore in October of 21, and we had snow in Glacier bay. Beautiful! This April we took the bus to the Yukon border and had snow for the last half of the trip there. Fantastic scenery!

Help me choose my specialty dining!

It's a crap shoot. You know that the show will be good at Tepanyaki. The steak has always been crappy, so I've settled on shrimp and chicken. The rice will never taste like Benihanas, but it's basically all you can eat (which isn't much for me). I've had great steaks and crap at Cagney's. Los Lobos is very popular here, and I can't remember a bad experience. Food republic is a great stretch for people who aren't solo (which you are). At the end of the day, just throw a dart. I would do Los Lobos and Cagney's and hope for the best. It's just food and there's a lot more on the ship. -

Right. Who clips their toenails on a cruise? Do they actually pack clippers? I clip 'em beforehand and just chill. 😎 -
Ahem. Yes, that was the joke. Did you miss the quotes?

Excellent question! It comes down to deck 17: Bliss: Encore: One of those is a lot more fun for me and attracts a lot less kids. Of course, many (not me) detest the chandelier on the Encore as it gives them instant sea sickness, nausea for days and expensive medical bills. That endears it to me! 😎 Also, the Bliss had fantastic entertainment (other than Six @YVRteacher) on my April B2B. That is, of course, fluid. Encore gave us Alexa in 2020. You can't really top that. So yeah.... Wait, what was the question again? They are both fantastic ships and I would sail on either one in a heartbeat.

It will be the Sun. DD can't do the 14 day B2B due to w%#k, so ten or eleven days is next best thing. Plus, we haven't been to Haines, Hubbard Glacier or Sitka, so those are newbies for us. We'll also actually spend a proper day in Victoria, so bring on them butterflys and gardens!! (that's for DW and DD🤣) No!!, I told you it is Guinness and Siglo I like, "d@mnit!!!" Don't make me come up there sister!😎🐀

Perfect explanation! Now, about that laundry "coupon" that is the third thing in that packet..... 🤣
