I can't stress enough that anyone on a ship to/from Seward should be on a Kenai Fjords tour!!! 🙂

yes, anyone who was a meteorologist could do that 🙂 especially one who works at a weather place 🙂

interesante.....then I bet anyone could do that! and get even more perks if they worked for an actual weather place!

Not that I have particular experience, but the normal b2b procedures would throw a wrench in any amazing tours, as the 6 hour tours that leave at 11:30 (after you would be completed with your procedures) would get you back too close to the all aboard and the 8am tours (that happen in August I hope!) would have you not done with the b2b cruisers before checking in there. I wonder if you can just "self disembark" with the other folk (or arrange to) at 7 and go to the 8am tour to be back in time to "check back in" (completing b2b procedures and whatnot)?

neato! I guess my question was more "do they have the same access as the public or are there more things they would have to pay for to have access to?"

I even bet that "whoever" is looking at the raw data has to pay to get it from somewhere, so having an in house guy would be on TOP of the price of paying the people with the meters and radar and all the stuff one needs.....unless that all comes from NOAA for everyone for free? (I'm from Florida, so from June 1-December 1 I am visiting that NHC website multiple times a week hahahaha) You could just pay the meteorologists at the place that you pay for the access to the data from the meters and radar and all the stuff one needs to do what you need....just like bundling your home and auto! HAHA

Definitely didn't have to do with your sim card because you don't use it to use the hardware (your phone) you have to interact with the ship network. Unless you had an actual phone that does not work outside of Alaska, that's not it.

and here I am in Atlanta dying for the Ale House when the closest one is 45 min away HAHA (I made my friend drive there with me for my birthday in 2020 hahah)

exactly what I thought 🙂

if its the free internet its only with the app, right? I didn't think I could expect to use whatsapp when not connected to the actual internet....(though I did get ONE imessage while between ports last year hahah) Or are you talking about the chat within the app? Using the internet for only the app has nothing to do with your carrier since you weren't using it, just the hardware of your phone..... The private mac address trick was the key for me last year, sorry that you couldn't get on....

Ugh gross, I am worried about my parents’ street parking for our two week Alaska trip on Saturday.....not taking into account that my car has only been broken into twice while I have lived here for 8 years haha hopefully you get it all taken care of! (And way to go for the detectives for following up!) .....and the sass....if you’re “supposed to inform them”......wasn’t that what you were doing?!?!? Hahahaha

Hahahha maybe you’re a southerner at heart too! It’s hard to explain as how you said that Venetian cuisine has a lot of seafood, the coastal areas in the south also have a lot of seafood, but it’s just....”different”

I realized I don't like Venetian food last time I went there, so much so that I pitched a "subdued" fit and went to Rossopomodoro, an Italian chain restaurant from Napoli where I knew I would get the type of food I like 🙂 I like my southern food!

well, for the fact that they switched us with a SilverSea ship on May 29th on Radiance, with our capacity being 2400 and theirs being 500, I think they were going for the "having to tender the least amount of people" strategy....and if that is the case, we are good! haha I got REALLY excited when I saw that switch to Ore hahaha

called Bridge of Sighs! So...in my trip to Italy a while back, we passed SO MANY candy stores in Venice with this dark pink candy that looked like a tube with white in the middle....it looked SO GOOD and we didn't get any and then the rest of Italy didn't have it! So if you saw it and it looked good, don't miss it! hahaha
