Royally Ready to cruise

interested in where you stayed pre cruise. So happy you had a great time😊

I changed to 28th Avenue. So much easier with a large group. Ty everyone! and called Seattle express

700 Fifth Street North Seattle

Hampton does not offer airport pickups. Anyone stay here and what advice you can give? We have large family , 11 staterooms and 28 people. Thanks so much for the help

thank you every one. The kids are 3 and use regular car seats and do have their own seats on the plane. I’m not sure of their weight. I’ll do some more research on that. We plan to use the bus transfers the morning we get off the boat to the airport and hotel shuttle from airport to hotel. The bumble bum sounds interesting but I don’t think the girls are tall enough. And agreed accidents can and do happen everywhere.

Ty and I didn’t know how to drag it on board ship or most airport shuttles don’t have seat belts and yada yada

Hi fellow experienced cruisers who travel with Toddlers! Flying in to Seattle for Alaska cruise this summer with our large family. Take a car seat? we plan to use hotel shuttle service to hotel and to port next morning. thank you for the help!

we have cruisers under age 5, do they have to purchase soda package, they won’t be drinking soda?

Thank you LeeW! did they give plenty of time at Mendenhall to hike to the waterfall?

The hike to the waterfall is my absolute favorite! I’m really excited for the grandkids to do this and see the amazing Mendenhall Glacier. The last time we took the paved path but I believe there is another trail farther up the hill. I’m wondering how strenuous it is ?

Trip advisor rates Alaska tour companies Juneau whale watch 5/5. Thoughts anyone?

Hi Bird! we were traveling with you on the NCL Great come back cruise! Loved Alaska so much we are trying it again with lots of kids this time. Trying RCCL this time to save money on our group of 23. We know it will be different on RCCL, but the ship activities for kids is what made the decision. So from your response, I’m thinking all 3 is going to be a but much for kids age 3 to 15.

yes thank you for the reply!

Hi gang. Excited to book excursions for our family cruise this summer. Juneau Port arrival time is 1 pm and departs 9 pm. There is an excursion that does the 3, whale watching,, Mendenhall and salmon bake. The first booking time is 1:30 pm. Does anyone have advice as to A can we make that time . and is it possible to do all 3 and have an enjoyable time? Ty!!!!

Yes they show as linked to me when I log in. Well after 4 different departments and 4 calls later, I have my answer. They have to book the excursions for me as the first 5 cabins have a group ID and the last 3 we added don’t, RCCL will have to book anything for us. I don’t mind this, just would have caused less hassle if the group dept and reservations and web site assistance could have told me this 3 calls ago. Thanks everyone for letting me vent. Lol. happy sailing
