One of the coldest runs I have ever had, but I only bring an amount to gamble with that I would be okay with losing every dime of Look at the bright side, if it pays for your next cruise you didn’t lose it! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They left me a free signature suite offer under my door when we disembarked our last cruise. My email offers are always for a free Neptune Suite with a significant amount of casino cash. Thanks for the heads up. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for your great review Well our flight is not until 450pm tonight so we are going to do a little exploring in Seattle before heading to the airport, but I will share what I can. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruisewiththekids Posted August 7, 2021 #637 Share Posted August 7, 2021 We have a pretty early flight home thanks to United changing the departure time, so I'm hoping everything goes smoothly getting to the airport and through security. I have the SeaTac app on my phone, which is supposed to show the wait time for security, but watching it over the last several weeks, I've never seen wait times go above 5 - 10 minutes, which makes me wonder if it could really be accurate. Enjoy exploring Seattle today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrulyLoveCruising Posted August 7, 2021 #638 Share Posted August 7, 2021 Thank you Brent and Liam for your time and great writing for this cruising. It was so helpful for myself to know what the cruise was like. I am leaving today on the NA. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare bluesplayer Posted August 7, 2021 #639 Share Posted August 7, 2021 Thanks for sharing your vacation with us on land. Congratulations on your free cruise!! Sweet!!

Stop at the place that yells “May I help you?” too funny. My DH is from KC and been there many times.. nice city!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Question which I never found out, is this an actual "Special Drink" or is it just for any drink? It is rather confusing. Plus with the majority of the ship passengers having the Signature Beverage Package I am trying to figure out what the point of it really is. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NavArch64 Posted August 7, 2021 #645 Share Posted August 7, 2021 We are back from NAdam voyage 2 ... at our downtown hotel. The crew worked so hard to make it great. Our best wishes to those on voyage 3. 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
liam1965 Posted August 7, 2021 #646 Share Posted August 7, 2021 Well, the family in Seattle that we were going to visit with have all tested positive, so we’re pivoting and have booked a flight to Boston today. All in all, this was a great trip and we met so many wonderful people, saw fantastic sights, played some fun games, and gained about 100 lbs. For anyone going next, the comics are fantastic, the four members of the entertainment team are wonderful, and you’re in for a fantastic week! 15 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is a special drink called "Dam Drink" from what someone told me at the M&M (@NavArch64 I think). Believe he said it was basically cheap champagne with mint. 2 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brentt_M Posted August 7, 2021 Author #648 Share Posted August 7, 2021 So as a quick recap... It felt much more like a pre-pandemic cruise experience than I ever expected once we were onboard. I know those rules are changing, but it was a nice respite from reality for the week. The float trip in Juneau was very good and very tame. If you want a thrill it is definitely not for you. Kayaking in Ketchikan was good to, but if you are wanting to see wildlife there are better options. We saw eagles, starfish, jellyfish, and a sea lion. We didn't do much in ISP or Sitka, but both are beautiful places. I could easily see myself living in Sitka. Glacier Bay is always spectacular and awe inspiring. One of my favorite places I have ever been. We had a tragic event happen when 5 fellow NA passengers and their float plane pilot died in a crash while on a tour in Ketchikan and my thoughts are with those families impacted. It definitely placed a bit of a dark cloud over the last couple days, but overall it was a very enjoyable cruise. Since I have a voucher for a "free" cruise I am seriously debating booking a late September trip back on the NA. Just need to figure out who to take with me since the kids will be in school. Thanks to all of you for following along and I wish you all great adventures and safe travels in the future! 17 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
