  1. Welcome to Cruise Critic. As a hobby photographer, Alaska is my favorite cruise region. I have been on 15 whale watching excursions and saw orcas only once. ISP is my favorite location for whales because they are so active. I strongly recommend the Mendenhall Glacier Walk in Juneau and definitely a stop at the Glacier Smoothie Soap Shop on Franklin Street. My favorite excursion is feeding the eagles on the Bering Sea Crab Fishing excursion. Orca in Juneau Auke Bay mere feet from our small excursion boat ISP for bubble feeding humpback whales Glacier Trek via helicopter in Juneau Ketchikan Crab Fishing with eagle feeding
  2. Here is a link to the upgrade chart I posted earlier in this thread: Internet Update from HIA Surf Plan 2024
  3. The internet Streaming Plan lists several well-known streaming accounts but then adds "and other accounts." All that I have been reading is that YouTube is a streaming service. For getting a quick answer, this might be a question to pose on a current live thread for someone using the Premium Plan. As far as notifications, perhaps the notifications under your account settings might show a cause.
  4. Others have reported that it does not. As a WhatApp user, I need the Premium Plan to place and receive calls. Nothing beats a Spam Call while on a cruise even while your phone is in airplane mode.
  5. Yes. Here is a table of internet costs that I created based on tables that I received from Ship Services: Internet Pricing Plans 2024
  6. When you login after boarding, you will see the option to upgrade in the Navigator app.
  7. It gave you a big discount on the regular price of the Premium Plan.
  8. You can surf the web and send pictures by email with the Surf Plan.
  9. Once aboard, if you wish to upgrade a HIA Surf Plan to the Premium Plan to make WhatsApp WiFi calls or Zoom conferencing, here is a table that I have created to show the cost: HIA Surf Plan Upgrade Cost
  10. Kudos on being a fellow aft stateroom lover. FWIW the Deck 5 balconies are fully covered and same depth as Deck 4.
  11. Per the Nieuw Amsterdam Captain last October, the Mariner Luncheons were currently being offered on cruises longer than 14 days. As HAL continues to evolve away from the COVID restrictions, more luncheons should be occurring.
  12. It is my experience that shrimp cocktail is served fleet-wide on both the silver (1st) and gold (2d) "Dressy Night" menus. Dressy Night Silver Menu Dressy Night Gold Menu
  13. My Eurodam internet speed in an aft stateroom last month was 107 Mbps. It should be much better if closer to the repeaters in the atrium and indoor pool.
