Glaciers Posted July 30, 2021 #1176 Share Posted July 30, 2021 Our medallions arrived yesterday for the 8/8 departure. We didn’t want to wear the lanyards so also ordered 2 fitbit clip holders from Amazon. Someone posted earlier about them. The medallions fit well in them. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01KO2T45U/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o04_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 I am wondering now if they will be a bit inconvenient since it appears we will need to unclip them each time we need to scan the medallion. Do you think this will be an issue? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would be nice, but the Personalizer no longer allows the user to enter any of that required information. Only the app can be used now.

Curious about this also, we fly out August 7th and the attestation form and test seem pretty straight forward. Bit worried about the AccessCAN app but did find some videos on YouTube so should be able to figure it out. Fingers crossed lol. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess they aren't doing that this time? Were there any dog sled excursions offered? If you ever get the chance, head to Anchorage for the Iditarod "Ceremonial Start" along C Street. They let you pay a fee and take a ride on a dog sled with one of the mushers. It's quite awesome! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zipband for fitbit. Did not want to take off the necklace holder and don’t like for them to touch it, like when you go for a specialty coffee. https://www.ebay.com/itm/153405270241?epid=2255451490&hash=item23b7aaa8e1:g:c5sAAOSw2hhcgAl~ Here’s one of the ads. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the past this has been done by auction and can end up being thousands of dollars for that 11 minute ride. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do they have a good selection? Especially, lower calorie ones. I have not done it with the Plus package, but I'd assume it would be the same. They do have specific mocktails on the menu, but you can also just ask for anything you like in virgin style. For example, just ask for a virgin Pina Colada or a virgin frozen strawberry Margaretta . Anything you see on the cocktail menu could be done as a mocktail I believe. Edited July 30, 2021 by RRFan 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve been able to attend them on all of my Royal-Class ships cruises by calling the DINE line ASAP because like the Chef’s Table it’s limited to 12 per meal & is also not available on every night. There are 3 menus however each time it’s been the Mondavi menu which they said is the most popular menu for passengers. I’ve read posts that it can also be requested at the PSD or through a head waiter. Once someone on our roll call organized 2 groups & requested it through the Maître d’ onboard which was successful. 😋🍷 We enjoyed a ST tasting with snacks & hope to try the dinner version in the future.

Thanks for looking into this - didn't see anyone else post this question YET! The package includes all beer, spirits, wine by the glass and cocktails $12.00 USD and under as listed on our menu(s), or $16.00 AUD and under for voyages departing from and returning to Australia and New Zealand. The package includes bottled water (500ml only), fountain sodas, fresh juices (if available), specialty coffees and teas, Frappés at Coffee & Cones, milk shakes (if available) and Red Bull energy drinks. The package provides a 25% discount on the following excluded items: all bottles of wine, one liter bottles of water, canned soda and bottled juices. FOUND my own answer - pasted here from the website. For Have Dog and others - have you purchased any bottles? Thanks for ALL the research. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Tak8 Posted July 30, 2021 #1191 Share Posted July 30, 2021 In the past, the percentage off bottles of wine was capped at a certain price. Glad to see the current wording. Really enjoying learning about how things are going on board. For those on board, thanks and enjoy the rest of your cruise. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mary Ann 2 Posted July 30, 2021 #1192 Share Posted July 30, 2021 (edited) The webcam in Ketchikan looks like the Majestic is docked as far away as I've ever seen - out past the tunnel. Anyone know why when there are no other ships there today? Is there a shuttle to the downtown area? Wouldn't you have to walk through the tunnel to get to town?

Wrong time to find out the info you bring to the terminal does not meet all they need and thus be denied boarding with no refund. Can't this be done on the website before leaving home?

Just for grins A virgin Martini is a glass of olives. Vermouth is fortified with additional alcohol (usually grape brandy), meaning they're higher proof than most wines, but nevertheless they are still moderately low-proof, about 15–18% alcohol by volume. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We really appreciated seeing the Author of "A Wolf Called Romeo". So great! It is amazing to hear that more of the North to Alaska programs seem to be onboard for EACH sailing! And, yes, a bit off topic... But I was also posting how the Majestic is the one ship that does not have the Sanctuary, but the open access adult area. I had even included links to a couple of good videos for newbies, one with the Sanctuary on the Sky Princess. But, looks like that didn't go thru!!! We're ecstatic that they left the Hollywood Conservatory as a non-charge adults only area! Some may miss the Sanctuary, but the Majestic isn't a cookie-cutter Royal Class, and we appreciate her differences 🙂 Can't wait to try her in March🥂 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd love to be docked there rather than closer to the tunnel (where my ships usually docks) lol 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
