oliverweagle Posted January 11, 2011 #1 Share Posted January 11, 2011 Hi there! We are leaving on an Alaska Cruise on the Golden and would really like to try and sign up for the ultimate ship tour. From what I have read, the earlier one get on board to sign up, the better the odds. What time would you suggest to be one of the first folks in the ship? Thanks! Ollie:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ollie:) Sure hope you are going in 2011, since 2010 is behind us.:) We always get to the terminal by 11:00. That usually gets us on the ship ASAP. The Golden is a great ship, and Alaska is a fantastic cruise destination. Maybe we will see you there! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boboraji Posted January 11, 2011 #4 Share Posted January 11, 2011 In 2009 we took the Golden to Alaska from Seattle. We arrived at the port at 11 a.m. went through security, got our ship I.D.'s got inline on the 'gang-way' by 11:15 a.m. and were in our cabin dumping our carryons by 11:45 a.m. then ordering lunch in the MDR by 12:15 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loonbeam Posted January 12, 2011 #5 Share Posted January 12, 2011 As far as the UST it depends on how the purser handles it. Some are first come first serve, others do a lottery. No way to know which... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevesan Posted January 12, 2011 #6 Share Posted January 12, 2011 There's a limit to the number for the $150 "Ultimate Ship Tour"? That's amazing. Especially since it's mostly a compilation of ship tours that were previously offered gratis!:o Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
loliola Posted January 12, 2011 #7 Share Posted January 12, 2011 When we went in August on the Golden, we arrived to board about 11 a.m. and were onboard about 11:45 - I went directly to passenger services to sign up and we were first on the list.

loliola Posted January 12, 2011 #8 Share Posted January 12, 2011 10-12 persons per sailing, thats all. The free tour is just the public areas. UST takes you to the Galley, Medical Center, Engine rooms, behind stage in the theatre, etc. It is a great tour, and we enjoyed it very much. You also each get a princess plush robe ($90 in the gift shop), photos, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
