Does anyone know -- if you decline the free at sea drink package, can you still get free cocktails and sodas in the Haven lounge and Haven pool? This was true at the Disney Concierge lounge. My spouse is not happy about paying the gratuities on the "free" drink package as we really rarely drink and it seems like the gratuities cost more than what we would pay just buying drinks. But with paying so much for Haven, it's irritating to then have to shell out $10 for a cocktail in the lounge.

I'm getting a little overwhelmed with choices -- please help! One of my kids has especially requested a ziplining excursion. RCL offers two in Skagway: (1) "Grizzly Falls" (says 11 ziplines and 4 suspension bridges); or (2) Adventure Park (six ziplines). Seems like Grizzy Falls would be better..any thoughts? Online, I've also found recommendations for the Beer Creek Zipline by Alaskan Canopy Adventures out of Ketchikan, and I think we could do it there instead possibly. It also looks like there is one out of Juneau, but I thought there might be too much else to do in Juneau. Any suggestions for which is best? We have an extensive ziplining place not far from our house, so I guess the premium would be on a ziplining experience that is unique to Alaska. Thanks!
