Thanks for your input everyone.  Although I would love to go up to Alaska, we won't have a lot of time after our Canadian bus tour and the cruise....only a couple of days before we would need to be starting to fly back home to Perth.  Therefore, I think I will leave the Hubbard Glacier for another trip at a later time.  It might also make things a bit easier with the Australian Government COVID rules if I am only doing the one country!

It sounds like we need to go to Alaska sometime and spend a couple of weeks touring around.  I will have to plan another trip!!  What a shame 😉

We are planning on the Canadian bus tour for the end of May and maybe a Holland America cruise at the beginning of June 2022....hopefully this is a good time to travel there!!  I am very limited with the months that I can travel due to work commitments from 1st July to the end of October.  I'd like to have gone a bit later but this is the best time for me to travel.

Hi everyone

We are looking into doing an Alaskan cruise next year.  I had previously booked the Vancouver to Seward Celebrity cruise pre-COVID and am now looking to re-book.  My question to you all is, do you think it is worth travelling up to Seward and seeing the Hubbard Glacier or should we just do Vancouver to Vancouver?  We are from Australia so the flight that we would need to take back home from Anchorage is very long (around 26 hours all up with flight changes etc).  I'm just not sure whether there is a need to go that far up or not but don't want to miss out as it will most likely be our only cruise up that way!

What do people think?

thanks,

Louise

Hi Sunflower1

Thanks for your update........do you remember how much the massages cost? Also, I know they vary in price but what sort of figure would I be looking at for the tours? I am sorry to ask but I need to figure out how much to budget on!!!:)

Can't wait for our trip - it is a surprise for my husband and he has absolutely no idea! (It's his 40th birthday pressie!!!)

One other thing, did you take Aussie dollars or did you take other currencies with you? Was it hard to change the money (and were the fee for changing really high?).

Yes I would also like to hear from WRX712.....where have you gone? Any chance of a summary of your Gemini cruise? We would all love to hear about it :p

What were the best things to do and where was the best place to go???? Can you please let us know so that we can make the most of our cruises?

Also, how much were the massages? Do you need to book a long time in advance or can you do it on the day?

We look forward to hearing from you :D

Hi WRX712

Which shore excursions did you do, if any?

Also, how much was the massage?!?!? Sounds good.....we're not going until March next year but can't wait :D

Thanks BJC - I will definitely get on to my TA and see what she says....;)

I know I'm jealous!! Have a great trip and let us know what you did (shore excursions etc) and all about your holiday........

Roll on March 2007! I can't wait!!! :D

Does anyone know how soon before the actual cruise date that you find out your cabin number? My travel agent said that they can change it right up to when you check-in on board! I was hoping to have more of an idea before we get there......:confused:

Thanks Mummsie and BJC for your info. I will have a look at the tours on the website and decide what we will do. Will definitely look at the Night Fantasy in Phuket - thanks Mummsie!

Hi Everyone

I am taking my husband on the Strait of Malacca cruise for his 40th birthday next March and was wondering which shore excursions people have been on from this cruise and what is recommended. We have never been on a cruise before and my husband has no idea that I am planning this - can't wait!!

Any info would be of help :o

Also, is anyone else going on the March 25 cruise? If so, where are you from/ages etc???? :) :D

Thanks,

Ouisel
