Going to add that to the top of the list for next time!

Thanks so much for the update!

We dined here twice in the Enchanted a few months ago and agree - both meals were among the best we’ve ever enjoyed at sea! Just phenomenal. And we had all different things each time too. I thought I read recently that they’re switching Sabatini and The Catch locations on Discovery? Is that in the works?

That makes sense - thanks for clarifying! I'm happy that we will be able to enjoy sushi on sea days on the Sapphire in June.

I saw this on a video review recently and it was held in Vines on the Sapphire on a sea day.

Ah you’re both right! I missed the restaurant part being current. Thank you. This is great news! We loved O’Malleys so much on Enchanted! Happy to hear it will be on Discovery before we sail.

According to OP, the changes are due to happen the end of 2025, about 18 months from now.

We’ve been longtime IC fans. However there’s no question that, just as most things in today’s reality, it’s not near as good as it once was. The pre Covid IC was 🙌🙌🙌

Personally I agree with the OP. We do mostly specialty dining and casual dining and greatly value premium wines and spirits. At the end of the day we probably break about even with premiere but that zero balance on our folio upon checkout and the zero concerns of what things cost make our vacation all the better so we are all in on Premiere. If you’re content to eat in the buffet and MDR and don’t drink much it’s not worth it. It completely depends on how you cruise. It’s not a one size fits all situation!

Alaska Airlines just changed our post cruise flight home from Anchorage that was supposed to leave in the afternoon to now leave after midnight (technically the next day at 1:15 AM). Our original plan was to have late breakfast, check out of the hotel, and head to the airport. Now we've got a whole day and evening free in Anchorage and are looking for suggestions on how to spend it. We are in Vancouver 3 nights pre cruise, then NB Inside Passage 7 day on Sapphire Princess, then 2 nights post cruise in Seward and doing the 8 1/2 hour Major Marine Kenai Fjords cruise from there one of the days. Taking the Alaska Railroad from Seward to Anchorage and spending the night there. Looking for suggestions on what to do with this extra day. Don't want to do another glacier cruise since we're already doing the all day one from Seward. There's plenty of options on Trip Advisor, etc. but would love to hear from you all on personal experiences from day trips in/from Anchorage that you recommend. I fear that whatever we do won't compare with what we've already seen on the trip, but I'm probably overthinking that. Thanks!

Ok sorry one more question. What’s the deal with listening to lectures? I’m very interested In that option to get the most out of the moment but I’m worried I’ll miss epic scenery if I’m sitting in the Princess Theater while cruising thru Glacier Bay?

I just got my binoculars in the mail! I’m ready

I’m a classic over achiever so I’ll be up at 5 AM so as not to miss a thing. When I read this thread to hubbs tonight he said “Maybe we should just pull an all nighter the night before!” LOL. I’ll probably be so excited to see Glacier Bay that I won’t sleep a wink the night before regardless. thanks everyone!

Thank you for this! I'm getting so excited....

Hey I'm going to Alaska for the scenery, not to catch up on sleep! It's all good.
