ace1zoe2 Posted June 18, 2018 #1 Share Posted June 18, 2018 We just arrived home last night after spending 10 days in Alaska/Vancouver. I have attached links to PDFs of all the cruise compasses, daily offers, port shopping pages, excursions brochure, staff & rules, My Time Dining Letter, Concierge Letter, Platinum Onboard Offers, Diamond Onboard Offers, Departure Information, Vancouver Information, Wash & Fold Offers, etc. I plan to do a trip report on my personal travel blog but it will be a week or two before it's ready. I know many of you have been looking for this information, as I was, prior to your cruise for planning purposes. I did not see a 10 card drink offered during our cruise. I also did not see blanket check out as reported as available on Explorer's Alaskan Itinerary.

Rare A&L_Ont Posted July 5, 2018 #6 Share Posted July 5, 2018 Cindy and Charlie thank-you for posting these. I only have one question, to which I know you most likely do not have the answer. On departure night from Seward muster is at 6pm. We have dinner booked at 6 for Giovanni’s, but it says it doesn’t open until 6:30. I wonder if they just push things back or what happens. I guess we will find out on embarkation day. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although we found that Giovanni’s and Izumi were not crowded when we went. Rob Sent from my iPhone using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they reach out to us that is one way I thought. I also thought of stopping at Giovanni’s on embarkation day but we don’t board until mid afternoon. We will have to roll with it.

Rare OCSC Mike Posted July 6, 2018 #13 Share Posted July 6, 2018 We also went to Giovannis on the first night - trust me you will have no issues getting a table at any time! It was empty! We also ate at Giovanni’s on the first night of the 6/22 Radiance SB. We prebooked FNDR for 6:00 and when we stopped by after embarking they just asked what time we wanted so we chose 6:30. Same experience as you... it was empty (and excellent as usual). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is because of you that we will leave the end of August. When you reviewed the last time I printed out everything and couldn't get enough, but it sure has helped us get the best out of our time in Alaska. I will follow along with your review and hopefully will know that planning through you was the best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I took a group of 28 friends and family of which about 22 had never been to Alaska. My time was not completely my own this trip so I didn’t do a report. I still highly recommend the Southbound from Seward with as many days as you can do on a cruise tour prior. You will not be disappointed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
