Yes. Out of New Jersey, and then again out of Fort Lauderdale. We now pick a 11:30 time and then walk right on the ship

If people arrive at 10:30, will they have to wait in the terminal until the ship is ready to board? We have arrived early on prior sailings, before assigned arrival times, and we sat in the terminal until noon with hundreds of our closest friends. Not a lot of fun. =(

I'm not going to lie, I had to look up what a Toque was. 😂 I do have cap and gloves on the packing list, as well as layering. I was just wondering if the temp was that much warmer than AK to justify a pair of shorts. 😃 When we get back from the cruise, Seattle will just be our home base for trips around the area/region. Thanks for the Weatherspark recommendation.

I might as well ask my question here. 😃 We are sailing to Alaska out of Seattle the end of May. We will be staying in Seattle for 5 days after the cruise. My question is this, what will temperatures/weather be early to mid June. Trying to figure out how to pack. Thanks.

We sailed out of Vancouver 2 yrs ago. It is a beautiful city. We were there 3 days prior to sailing. Stanley park is beautiful. We biked around the park. there are also walking lanes next to the biking lanes so you won't have to worry about getting out of the way of bikers. If you like nature, you may like the Capilano Suspension Bridge. it is about 15 mins. away from the St. Regis by car. Grandville Island is a lot of fun. If you are going to a bakery for fried apple pie, you should also try a Nanaimo Bar. They are a wonderful treat. If you want to see something unique, take a walk down to Gastown at the top of the hour to see The Gastown Steam clock. We stayed at the Auberge hotel, and around the block from the hotel is an English pub called the Lion Pub. We had drinks and snacks there a few times. It was really fun. We also went to Black & Blue steakhouse and ate on their rooftop. It was pricey, but the steaks and view were really good. I hope you have a great time discovering Vancouver and have a wonderful cruise. 😃

check-in is tomorrow. Woo-Hoo!

We are sailing in MCSS May 31. We received our email from shoreside concierge around the beginning of March. March 2, to be precise.

I thought the whale was perfect considering we are heading to Alaska. 😃

I've finally caught up. Love the pictures. I Can't wait to travel along with you. 😃

We are sailing in a MCSS for our upcoming Alaska cruise. We decided to pay for a suite for Luminae because I have a food allergy. Unless Luminae is absolutely top-notch, we will probably go back to our Concierge class cabins. I expect nothing more from our Magic Carpet Sky Suite than what we have in a Concierge Class cabin. At this rate, it seems like it won't be long until sky suites are removed from the Retreat altogether. I think Celebrity is shooting themselves in the foot. It seems like the people at Celebrity are taking a page from Boeing's "corporate suite" level decision-making. They are ruining what used to be a great product. 😆

We sail Celebrity, and they have Strongbow cider.

We sail X because they take such good care with food allergies. This will be our first time in Luminae, and I did notice their menu did not have allergen symbols. I filled out the suite questionnaire, and put down my celiac disease. I also think our TA puts it in whenever we book a cruise. I will also mention it when we board the ship. Hopefully I will be safe.
