Lorey2007 Posted May 10, 2022 #403 Share Posted May 10, 2022 Anyone know how it's been going in the Grande 5pm early MDR ? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crzndeb Posted May 10, 2022 #404 Share Posted May 10, 2022 @graphicguyI got a call Northstar was cancelled. He said technical issues. I can honestly say, I haven’t seen it up at all on this whole cruise, so I’m not sure it is functional at all. That was my 3rd cancellation, so I’m hoping for success on my B3B out of Sydney next March. 😉 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare graphicguy Posted May 10, 2022 Author #406 Share Posted May 10, 2022 Quick question for those who are familiar with SEA…..just got an email asking if I wanted to schedule an appointment for TSA Spot Saver? Is TSA THAT BACKED UP in SEA? Plus, they will only hold the spot for 15 mins. Little dicey given how difficult it is to predict disembarkation times and luggage retrieval. Never heard of this.

Comments! TSA lines at SEATAC are hit and miss, so it's hard to predict. What day of the week and what time is your flight? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hate to make a recommendation, because any number of factors can blow the TSA lines up. Friday mornings can be busy as people head out for the weekend. Typically lines are no longer than 30 minutes and the last few flights I have done have been more like 15. I think if you do the Spot Saver and miss your time, you simply enter the normal line. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We'll have the traditional early dining 5pm. Do you know if it works the same as other ships? 1st day you get your table # and for the rest of the week no checking in just walk in. I'm going to pre request the Grande dining room. Edited May 10, 2022 by Lorey2007 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What was the 1st pic. It looks good. I have been getting the two different lobster rolls since it’s hard to get Sushi with lobster in the south but it might be time to try something different.

It was the most expensive “main” big dish. It had lobster. Excellent, BU can’t remember the name of it! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Ozark_Kid Posted May 10, 2022 #414 Share Posted May 10, 2022 This might sound silly for an Alaska cruise but are there ice cream machines and are they running? It’s just a tradition for me to get one shortly after boarding. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So, all I’ll lug through the airport is my backpack. Even when I was flying every week for work, I didn’t find CLEAR to be much, if any, better than TSA pre check. This is the first I’ve seen TSA notifying me for an appointment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Comments! According to this, the TSA Spot Saver is not used in the TSA pre check lines. Guess it sends you to a regular TSA checkpoint 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jrapps Posted May 11, 2022 #425 Share Posted May 11, 2022 For those on the Ovation now, is it better to have a balcony room on the port or starboard side? We are going next year, deciding what room to book. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
