We are @ 30 minutes from the Seattle piers and a few hours from Vancouver BC

Sure is nice to have breakfast - grab the suitcase - lock the door - arrive at the ship in short order. Well, there is Seattle traffic to factor in

Of course how many times can one go to Alaska? But there are many cruise lines to chose from

Were reservations necessary at the Coastal Kitchen for dinner?

So there is no need to make reservations for Entertainment if in Crown loft?

Thanks for your great review of the amenities of the Sky Class

CL has 2 full bathrooms - up & down - if that would be a factor.

I am also on the TA. This morning I just booked Coastal Kitchen for night 8.

With you on the Harmony TA - in a suite - and have not been able to book the CK

I shared your concern about it being over booked with pinnacles !

We have a crown loft so guess we are good ! Thanks

Thanks We are on the Harmony TA Same for the Broadway shows? I was looking at the Cruise Planner If I have dinner at 7 they won't let me book a 9 show.

Is seating at the various shows held for the suites 20 min prior or do we need to book reservations ? Thanks

Are reservations necessary for this suite dining room ?

Have a CL for the Fall transatlantic. Is there a bath tub on the loft level bathroom?

Know on the Allure there is a wonderful shower. The pictures in USA Today show a tub.

Thanks

thank you It was an AOL issue

I keep getting a "Opps...on Vacation" notice when I try to access the RCL website

What is up?

The two big plusses for Aqua are BLU restaurant, we loved and Persian Garden, with its three saunas and nice rest area. Concierge is just a glorified veranda.

Agree BLU & the Persian Garden are the Aqua attractions for us. Plus, there is a special boarding area which in one case was speedier than the Suite area

Also..if in Aqua...and book a specialty dining on the ship on the day of boarding...there is a discount ! Not advertised, you need to ask

Having stayed for one night before our cruise this March we stayed at the

Harbour Rocks Hotel by MGallery collection, it is literally a one minute walk downhill to the terminal, great rooms and location, would recommend it to anyone.

We stayed at the Quay West Suites across the street from Harbour Rocks several times and loved it ! Perfect location. I vote for staying in the Rocks.

Good cookies ? I am a cookie monster !

Do you receive a daily bulletin or is all the information announced at the daily briefing?

Seems like an easy going lifestyle on board.

Any suggestions from seasoned river cruisers? We leave next week

We sail out of Amsterdam on the 18th - next week !

Expect chilly temperatures. Good to her that the Rhine levels are behaving.

Any suggestions for the trip - our first river ruise?

Know actually how you feel about What to pack. Gloves, hat an umbrella for sure.

I'm going for the Pacific Northwest Layer Look Our weather is similar to that of the UK except this winter was very mild.

Thank you I will not get a thing done today for I will be reading reviews ALL day !

The weather seems to be a bit chilly from the reports I read. Cooler than here in Seattle.

Packing room is getting busy....

They are "comfort food" and a lot of fun to eat. Can be dry but a good strong German Kaffee will take care of that issue

does anyone have other Optional tour recommendations?

I am not experienced with river cruising. I am taking the Grand European in a few weeks - our 1st river cruise. I've lived in Germany for 10 years thanks to the US Army Lived along the Rhine once and near Wurzburg another. Returning "home" Rothenburg was our favorite Go-To place. If you have not been there, I recommend the optional tour. It is worth the effort.

Buy yourself a Schneeballen or 2 at a Backerei They are only sold in Rothenburg

YUMMY

Thank you. Sounds like we have like-minded husbands.

Won't bother with bringing cables. Will watch on our computer.

How is the selection of On Demand ? and the reception?

I know....we should be watching the sights !

We like to bring digital movies with use

Does anyone know if the cabin TV's have HDMI Input accessible?

Thanks

Preparing for 1st river cruise on viking. Are flight arrives at 9am in Amsterdam We have Viking transportation to the ship. When are the cabins available?

We join the boat in Amsterdam on Friday 18th March.

We will be arriving that morning from Seattle WA so will be Jet Lagged.

Thanks

Quick question: Will I be able to plug in a 110v US curling iron without an adapter in a cabin on a Longship?
