Thanks for providing a "Live from..." perspective for this cruise. I look forward to joining you on the mystery cruise both via your thread and from my deck 6 aft cabin. I disembarked NA after being aboard 9/4 - 9/18, replaced the Alaska sweaters with sundresses, and like you, am eager to visit the replacement ports. Here's to cruising again!

Lisa is having problems posting on CC and is unable to provide reporting at the time. She led us (Tom, Bruno, Marsha (dobiemom), Eileen, myself) to the secret forward access to deck 7 where we waved at the harbor cams.  We're hopeful Lisa will be back online soon as I know we all enjoy her observations. Off to explore Juneau now!

Standing & waving from deck 7 (below the bridge) with Bruno, Lisa & Tom, Marsha (dobiemom) and Eileen. So happy to be here! And yes, next time we should have a BIG sign!

Although procedures may change, in the past you would be escorted off the ship around 10:00 AM and wait in the terminal until all of the ship passengers are certified to be off the ship.  You may then reboard at will after if you wish (around 10:30 AM unless some passengers are delayed.  You will be able to come and go to help your Dad.

 

The Room Stewards in your new room will help you move to your new room as soon as it is vacated.  They will provide a trolley for hangup clothing so not much to pack.  Your new room will locked and you may go back to your former room to wait until the time you were told to pick up your new room key. A nice long breakfast works too.

 

Near the end of your first week, you will receive a letter with all of the instructions.

Thanks for that incredibly helpful information!

I booked two consecutive weeks on the Nieuw Amsterdam for the Alaska cruise(s) in September without any trouble though I'm having to move cabins. I'm a solo cruiser, using the first week for "me time," while the second week will be spent assisting my 88 year old dad and four sets of octogenarian aunts/uncles. I expect that remaining aboard at week one's disembarkation will not be allowed, which is okay with me, as I'll likely be wrangling luggage & mobility devices for the family!

I understand the Windstar ships just fit under the tonnage limit. However, at 617 feet long, Wind Surf exceeds the length limit and that's the ship scheduled for several autumn departures from Venice.
