Thanks for your answers everyone - Alfredo’s & Vines on Sapphire - the dining PDF that T&ATravel shared is great

Sorry, I didn’t word this properly… I should have asked, On Sapphire to Alaska is the cost for Crab Shack an option for the 2 casual dining meals included in the Plus package? Thanks on the Princess website for Sapphire, Crab Shack is grouped with Alfredo’s & Trident Grill not under Specialty Dining 🤷🏻‍♀️

Specifically on 2024 Sapphire cruises to Alaska, Is Crab Shack casual or specialty dining? Thanks

Most of the replies mention weather - I just want to add that depending which cruise line, in July & August there will be lots of children

Yes TRLD you’re right - our TA called Princess to have the bookings linked & that connected cabins are needed for health/caregiving reasons - if they need the 3/4 person obst OV cabin maybe we’ll get moved to connected balconies 🤣🤞🏻

Masonchar thanks for your post - my friend & I just booked yesterday - we booked adjoining obstructed OV cabins with 1 person in each cabin - after reading your post I checked & 1 cabin is a 3/4 person - I would be really angry if Princess bumped us out, we specifically wanted adjoining cabins - booked both through Expedia but they have separate booking #’s - I will be calling/messaging to make sure our Bookings are marked No Upgrade

We are currently on Regal - we were each given a $25 acct credit - we never asked, it was just applied to our acct 👍🏻

We’ll be on Regal Princess & will be snorkeling on Roatan on Dec 6th - Roatan is our first port & I thought we’d snorkel there & then have Cozumel as a back up if needed when we’re there on the 8th - The reviews of the Princess snorkel excursions weren’t very good so we’re booked with Victor Bodden Tours (they offer a private off shore snorkel as well as the party boat) - I’ll let you know how it goes 🙂🏖️ 🤿

I recommend heading up to the GoKarts ASAP to book your times, especially if you want the double karts (they only run a few times during the cruise) Also recommend the Laser Tag area for great viewing/photos in Glacier Bay, was much less crowded than other areas - and was a great place to let kids run around, play hide & seek, etc - we went there many times and never saw anyone actually doing Laser Tag 🤷🏻‍♀️

I think that because olives are stated in the menu’s description of the dish & that will get Princess off the hook for being 100% negligent - a judge might say that knowing about the olives you should have been more careful - have you asked a lawyer’s opinion?

Try CAA - cancellation insurance is very expensive

No, was closed - Our itinerary had 2 half days in port and only 1 full day (opened at 7pm, left port at 8:15pm) so kids went every day (to give us a break 😉) - was open on sea days 9am to noon, 2pm to 4pm & 7pm to 11pm

Just got back from taking my 2 grandkids to Alaska - in Seattle all my paperwork was taken and copied (the NCL form signed by both parents, the scan I had of their IDs & a handwritten letter with the information for Canada) in your situation I would suggest having written proof/court docs your son has sole/full custody (when we signed kids up for Splash Academy they took copy of NCL form again)

We just got off Encore - cruised to Alaska with my 7 yo twin granddaughters - embarkation day is the only time adults can ‘tour’ Splash Academy, after that no adults can go past the gates so if you want to go inside & check it out… Sea Day hours were 9am to noon, 2pm to 4pm & then 7pm to 11pm - there is a fee after 11pm - Port Day hours vary - kids were excited to go… played basketball, LOTS of interesting crafts/artwork, played Mario Cart - Sea Days were very busy & they said harder to get a chance to do some activities (600 kids under 18yrs on our sailing) - the staff were great

Ahh.. I think I understand… if I book my next cruise that’s how to get extra benefits rather than just buying a CN deposit, thanks

I’m new to NCL - is there a possibility to get more perks than just OBC for the current cruise? 🤞🏻 🙂 thanks

I think you can possibly book directly with Allen - this is in lower right corner of their Home page…

I got the same message but kept going & even though Step 5 of 8 isn’t completed, at the top it does say the kids are checked in and I’ll be notified when eDocs are ready

The cost stated in the article isn’t accurate - the cruise website shows the cheapest inside cabin is approx $33000pp for dbl occupancy x 3 yrs = $198000 and the solo discount is 15% so her rate is approx $168000

Can I buy 4 or 5 beers at a bar & take them unopened back to cabin? No drink package

hi Graham, you should go to the Roll Call for our cruise to ask about scuba diving 🙂 we should arrange a Solo meet up, there are a few other solos on the Roll Call

Wasted 30 minutes calling… ‘it’s a glitch’ - not honouring website price 🙁

This is my Royal Up offer, I’m booked in a solo Studio Balcony I adjusted to show the lowest possible bids (x2)

My mother’s ankles would swell when she travelled, Dr said it was caused by eating foods higher in salt than she normally ate at home

Sorry, I need to correct/clarify - I should have posted…. Please check your cruise pricing in both USD & CDN as it seems that some discounts aren’t being calculated properly in CDN $ - for my solo cruise the difference was $250CDN (saying the website was charging 60% exchange wasn’t accurate) thanks for your comments which made the situation clearer for me 🙂
