STEVE-O Posted March 17, 2015 #4 Share Posted March 17, 2015 I was told C&A members would be able to book AK2016 today. I just called @ 6:15am Pacific time and those sailings have not been released, Was a little excited about Explorer doing AK sailings in 2016 until I found out she'll be doing the Seattle RT's.........pass on that itinerary.............

angelhelly Posted March 17, 2015 #14 Share Posted March 17, 2015 Same thing here. Booked with Celebrity during their 123Go Sale for May 2016 getting all three perk since we booked concierge. Was curious how much the equivalent would have been with RCI to see if It would be worth switching. Would the Explorer be too big to do the one way trips?

I believe they need to do one-way trips having either the start or end port in Canada. That usually means Vancouver, and Explorer cannot go under a bridge needed to get to Vancouver.

We were all set to transfer to RCCL, we bet on Brillance or Jewel to do the Seattle to Vancouver run, but we would lose the $$ they gave us on Reflection and the drinks pkg, so we decided to stick to Solstice.

MomtoCCC Posted March 18, 2015 #17 Share Posted March 18, 2015 We finally gave up and booked Celebrity:( But we got lots of OBC, drinks and grats all free:p I also did this for June 2016 on Millennium (with the GO123) but still want to see what the Radiance prices are. Given the recent pricing I think we may end up staying with Celebrity which is fine with me... I've been wanting to try them. Just wonder if our dd would be happier with Royal though.

JoyMouse Posted March 18, 2015 #18 Share Posted March 18, 2015 I'm curious as to the preference for Vancouver over Seattle or is it the round trip versus a one way. I'm planning a family cruise for my parents' 50th anniversary next May and have had my TA on standby for the last two months. I did send him a backup Princess cruise yesterday in case higher prices hold true for Alaska as well. I don't think the RCCL itineraries will ever be released at this rate!

The Vancouver sailings.....RT or 1-way ....get you further north into Alaska. The first and last days of the Seattle RT can be a bit bumpy, too. The good thing about Seattle RT's is you don't have to deal with the Vancouver BC airport........

DP Posted March 18, 2015 #21 Share Posted March 18, 2015 What would the itinerary be for Explorer out of Seatle. If she does not go to a Canadian port does that mean the Jones Act comes into effect and you will not be able to B-2-B cruises? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atanac Posted March 18, 2015 #22 Share Posted March 18, 2015 The standard itinerary from Seattle goes something like this: 1. Sea Day 2. Sea Day 3. Juneau 4. One of the glaciers (Sawyer, Tracy Arm) 5. Skagway 6. Sea Day 7. Victoria Same ole, same ole. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LEtue Posted March 18, 2015 #23 Share Posted March 18, 2015 I really hope that the RT out of Seattle is better next year. An itnerary without Ketchikan doesn't make sense :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
