  1. If you want that excursion, I think you ought to book it now. It sells out pretty quickly. On our August cruise, it's sold out. It's also $419.95. I don't think I'll add us to the waitlist.
  2. It looks to me like staff were totally focused on documenting everything in case of a law suit. What would you like to have happen? Apology? Compensation? Something else?
  3. I looked at that cruisetour on HAL's website, and I see what you mean. Hard to get any info there. It does look to me like you'll have a full day at Denali, so you'll want to get as far into the park as possible. We're not Denali experts, but we've gone there on two separate trips. We took the park shuttle, rather than an organized tour. It's not plush, think "old school bus" and the amount of narration you get is entirely dependent on the driver. One driver was wonderful. He was an older guy, who had a wealth of information to share. And he shared. He also would stop anytime somebody called out to him to do so. Another driver wasn't good at all. No narration at all (we didn't mind that) and he just wouldn't stop for long anywhere. I would still do this shuttle rather than one of the tours, since it's cheap enough to book the full trip but still have the flexibility to bail out at one of the rest stops and catch a different shuttle back if you feel like it.

  4. They're really easy to move. We just pull one out from the wall so it clears the nightstand(s) and then shove it over. Reverse process later.
  5. "Beware the beancounter?" That has a nice ring to it.
  6. They probably might still be working on this, but for the cruise I booked the other day (through an agent on the phone for a quad on deck 10 of the Noordam for the two of us) I still see nearly all those quad cabins available for a party of two. I'll try that again in a few days and see what I see then.
  7. They never have in our cabins. Probably don't ever, but who knows. They usually shove the beds apart and put both nightstands in the middle, if there's room.
  8. We push them back together for the afternoon!
  9. For any bed smaller than a true king bed, it's always going to be twins for us. We're both restless sleepers, and also hubby's elbows and knees have a way of always turning up on my side of a queen. The last time we shared a smaller-than-king was in Yosemite, where we'd backpacked from Merced Lake to Valley floor and found our cabin had a single, double bed. We were so tired that there wasn't much moving around!
  10. I don't know about this, but if you're a fan of Indian food, you should check out an item on the breakfast menu. It's Aloo Masala and Egg Bhurji. I think it was available most mornings, and it was really good. Large enough that next time we'll get one and split it. I got it, while hubby got something else and ended up helping me on mine.
  11. We found really good bread pudding in the Lido at the ice cream station. This was on the Westerdam last September.
  12. It would be great if he showed up while we're there!
  13. Luck of the draw? My Princess planner is wonderful and has been for years. The one HAL assigned to me after hubby wanted to try another line isn't wonderful at all. The only way she wants to work is for me to schedule (through a calendar link) 15 minutes of her time in advance. I'm sure that's very convenient for her, but I don't necessarily want to work at her convenience rather than my own. I won't be working with her and will be asking HAL for a different planner when I get around to it.
  14. You and me too! Every year, I watch the bear cam of them feeding at Brooks Falls. This has been on my list of things to try to do for a long time, and I'm really happy that it's now possible to do on a cruisetour.
