We were in a suite in 2023 to Alaska and had the older pkg that didn't include these benefits and we still ordered MDR food to the room and were not charged the room svc fee.

anyone have an idea when the ferries open their schedule past 4/7/24? we will be there 4/10 and trying to plan our day on the ferry schedule to Sausalito.

yes

Correct we have our reasons, it is short, and a colder cruise so we wouldn't be doing the froofroo adult drinks we normally do...also while short most is ports so not alot of time on board to be drinking tea or hot cocoa since we cant take it off with us..so we did the math and realized our OBC would take care of any tea or hot cocoa we wanted, and if we decided to do the delivery app it covered that as well as tips and anything else we needed to or wanted to buy...my main point was we have no pkg yet the old and new app both show we have the plus pkg...

I have a cruise booked with no package as it is a short one...but according to the app I have the pkg...

No suite guests did not...in our group we were in a full suite and our friends were in a balcony and another couple we met on the bus was also in a balcony...at the Hotel in Anchorage we had a room with 2 full beds our friends had a queen the other couple had a suite, the first lodge again we had 2 full beds friends had a queen as did the other couple. finally at the last lodge we had a queen bed. the first 2 claimed we had 2 queens but they were not the size of our queen at home so that is why I think they were fulls the first 3 nights of our trip we slept separately...which was a bit frustrating as it was our anniversary celebration.

Also on the longer tour as Tranquility Base stated due to the rock slide it is closed...but also depending on when you go you still may not get it. We went early September and due to early snowfall they dropped us back down to the shorter tour. We did get refunded the difference. We did see 2 moose while in the park, one was pretty close the bus guide said that was probably because it was mating season and he was heading to go find him a lady friend. Sadly our main guide was not all that great as this was his last trip so I feel he was kind of tuned out and ready to go home. But the savings on the food portion is worth it...never truly knew how expensive food was up there, so knowing you can just order any entrée was good..didn't have to think about that.

All the times we have been there the staff at the rental center has set up the clamshells so I would think that they would haul the umbrellas out to where you wanted and set up the umbrella...it could be a liability issue if the guests did it and got injured while lugging and/or setting up the umbrella...just a thought.

We are on the Grand in Feb of 2025 and it shows the CG at $63 and Sabatini's at $55..but for our Ruby cruise in April of this year it is the $39 and $35 pricing. Anybody figure out on the new app how to see all sailings. If I log in with email and pw it only shows the one this april in order to see the 2025 cruise i have to log out and log in with booking # and that is not a # i know by heart...

We just did a land tour before our cruise. We did the 12-Day Connoisseur Escorted. We flew into Anchorage stayed the night in a hotel, then took a bus to Mt Mckinley stayed 2 nights and the rooms can be far from the main lodge where the dinner areas are at...with some being hills. Next we boarded a train to Denali lodge stayed for 2 nights...again the rooms are further out from the lodge main area with dining. There is a path that was a bit of a hill that ran behind the rooms and lodge...from there we took a bus to the train depot to board the train for the 9 hour train ride down to Whittier. In our train we had to go up some narrow stairs to get to our seats and the lunch car was downstairs. I did see they had a small lift of sorts and tried to use it for one of the passengers but the issue was they couldn't find the right key. Bottom line is on the train there could be narrow steep stairs leading to and from your seats. There were handrails on each side to hold onto though. I hope this helps..if you have any other questions please ask.

here is a pics from our aft suite on the Grand Princess in September of this year for both glacier sailing days..sorry I can't get the first one to rotate

Our first time we went in August which it looks like they don't do anymore. It was for sure warm to hot but at that time we loved it. Now we are looking for a bit more mild conditions. Our friends said they loved June as it was not as hot as July. We didn't see a ton of kids on board our ship but a Royal Caribbean docked behind us and that one was full of kids so they will be in port.

We just got off the grand 9/23..we paid the $14.99 and ordered tea and food to our room via the app no charge. Only one of us paid for the app use and I was able to order us both teas and food and they brought it to our room.

Great thank you so much. We had been once before and couldn't remember when they typically opened as that trip was a last minute choice..and love it.

Does anyone know when Celebrity will open the schedule for Bermuda in 2025?

thanks but i would still be short to be able to reach up to get stuff on and off them on my own and dont want to have to depend on steward or DH to get my stuff and get ready.

That's fantastic we have tons of those of well. Do you check it when you fly...never used these strong of ones before not sure what protocol is?

Sadly I am too short to hang from the ceiling...was thinking of using them for our thicker rain jackets and backpack on cold cruises

how do you store them while traveling..my current ones that are WEAK I just toss in a ziploc bag. Do you check them in your checked bags or carryon...not sure due to the magnet which is the right way? thank you for your quick response

Looking into getting these...how easy are they to remove from wall? Read online due to strong hold it can be hard to remove them...what is your experience with them..thank you

We just got off the Grand on 9/23 and the suite breakfast was in Sabatinis not the Crown Grill. We had a lovely waiter William..he was the best and then at night he moved to Crown grill and we had him again there as he saw our reservation and pulled us to his table.

ouch!..But glad they were all safe and did still get to experience the train and make it to the ship.

Dh doesn't wear those

Any update did the passengers get bussed down or continue on train..we are flying out 9/11 and to be on the train 9/16....🤔

@pontac thanks ot was the collared shirt for men...DH will have sweaters or dressier type sweatshirt but we hadn't planned on bringing those type shirts for him as I thought there was luggage restrictions for how many bags on an international flight etc
