Thank you for the dailies!

Do you have any of the Dailies? TIA!

We had a 10:45am flight out of Miami and made it there in plenty of time. We self-disembarked and got an Uber to the airport. Once we got to the airport, we were ahead of all the bus passengers, so TSA went pretty quickly. We had plenty of time!

My recommendation would be to fly into Anchorage, stay downtown, take the downtown trolley tour, get a nice meal at one of the Breweries, then take the train in the morning to Seward and spend a second night there. You can take a Kenai Fjords tour when you arrive in Seward, and go to the Sea Life center the next morning before boarding the ship. Once you get to Vancouver, plan on staying there for a night or two and then taking the train to Seattle and flying out of SeaTak. Both Vancouver and Seattle are really great cities and worth spending some time there, so you can figure out if you want to spend time in Seattle also.

We cruised Holland America to Alaska and their were over 100 kids in the kids club. It is more a multi-generational ship, and the kids had a blast. Just go with the better itinerary. NCL Star has great itineraries but there are lots of complaints about the food and the unfriendly staff recently.

Do a fake booking on Celebrity with two people in the cabin and then do the same room as a single. See which costs more. The latest rumor is that Celebrity is charging more for a solo cruiser in a cabin than for 2 regular cruisers in the same cabin. Because of that, I would sail on Princess.

I was wondering if the Visa Gift Cards would be accepted in foreign countries. That is good to know. We have plans for a rainforest tour in Costa Rica but we have to pay at the entrance to the park. It would be a piece of mind to use a Visa Gift Card. Thank you!

Looking at the map, it seems as though there are lots of areas to explore. So, I was wondering if you can kayak around all those little islands that lead to the eastern point, or if you have to stay in the area of the boat launch only. Thanks!

Okay, thanks! That sounds like it won't be as much fun as being able to go off and explore on our own.

The excursion takes you to an island pretty far out. We really liked that experience. The non-excursion people had to stay within the buoys at the beach area. That would have a been a waste of time for us.

Has anyone rented kayaks on Harvest Caye? Do you have to stay in a marked area of the lagoon. or are their side channels you can explore? We are going in March. TIA!

We have booked with tours plaza as well. Our port day will also be a Sunday. I am hopeful things will go well. We want to go to a local grocery store. Do you think we will need Pesos? Thanks for any input!

We will be there on a Sunday. Is traffic bad on Sundays as well? I think we will try to get to the beach early in the morning and then head back around lunch time, so we can get some shopping done as well. Do you recommend shopping along West Bay Rd, or somewhere closer to the port? It would just be for the usual souvenir stuff: refrigerator magnets, ornaments, earrings, and maybe a cute T-Shirt for the grandkids. Thanks!

Thanks! That is a big help!

We want to go to Governor's Beach or Cemetery Beach via Public bus. If our ship leaves at 5pm, at what time should we leave the beach to walk to the bus stop and take the bus back to the tender port? We are there on a Sunday if that makes a difference. TIA!
