Did you ever do this trip?  Looking to do something similar in September?

Thank you all for your advice. You have given me a lot to think about. The top.priority for this trip is to see Alaska, we have already ruled out cruise lines without naturalist onboard as that is also important to everyone. We have also determined a ship that either leaves or ends in Vancouver is important as that is also on out must see list. Now to weigh the cruises that fit those musts. I know how many say the ship doesn't matter, but to us it does weigh into the decision because we all want to enot our total experience. I appreciate all of the advice.

We are in the planning stages for our Alaska cruise in 2017. We have sailed DCL 4x and RC 1x. We sailed Oasis this Summer and while I really enjoyed the ship the rest of my family was eh about it. My son and husband are not rock climbing, flowriding, zip lining kind of people. They are more movies, shows, relaxing kind of guys. While we did not have a horrible time by any means on Oasis we didn't have a DCL kind of time. Plus the other big thing for me was my DD. She liked the kids club on RC but the set times drove me crazy because it just always felt like "hey the clubs are open, if you want to go you have to go now". Again, not bad, just different.

So my dilemma is this. Maybe Oasis is not for my family and the smaller ship like Radiance is more our speed. The price difference is definitely a factor. Is the smaller ships closer in line with DCL?

What would you do?

$30 per day

Popped over from the DIS to read! Great review! The weather was definitely not the best but happy to see you made the best of it as well. I can't believe I never made it to Wipeout Cafe for breakfast, but I fell in love with the solitude in Central Park. Definitely must try Wipeout Cafe next time.

We are looking for a car service in Fort Lauderdale to take us from the hotel to the port. There are 6 of us with a lot of luggage. Any recommendations?

Also looking for ideas after disembark in Fort Lauderdale since our flights are not until 6:30pm.

Can I order a regular coffee and a shot of baileys? Would that be okay with the premium package? Also, does anyone know if the premium package can be used on Labadee?
