Thank you! That's the kind of thing I wanted to hear.It seems like it would be quieter on 18 and there are 2 bathrooms to chose from on 18 that may come in handy. Did you hear any noise above you from lounge chairs or stuff being moved around?

Yes, we love an aft balcony and have already done Alaska in one in 2022.This was a question for Haven proper since this will be the first time staying in the courtyard instead of Haven aft.

I see pro's and con's for both, can't make up my mind. Both Courtyard Penthouse's, 17 has larger balcony but since this is early season Alaska I don't think we will be out there too long. Please tell me your experiences and preferences. Thanks,Candy

Well, that's interesting. My FCC was requested at about 65 days out. I have gotten them in the past but I don't remember the number of days days prior to request. Hopefully you can still get a room upgrade instead at less than 55 days.

Isn't it true that the manifest must be closed within a certain amount of time? 2hours before sail away I believe. I have read of people being refused boarding because of this.

I would think that the route taken will make a difference. We are taking a more southern route next March from New York first to Bermuda then across the Atlantic to the Azores then to southern Europe.

My PCC added a third certificate last night to a 2025 cruise booked in June 2023.

If the price drops after final payment you can request a FCC ( future cruise credit ). You can only do the request 1 time, if it drops further you will not get another. I did the request just yesterday and will hopefully receive one for $1200.00 to use on my next cruise. They are good for 1 year.

We were told that all of the food is brought onboard completely cooked. We know good BBQ and this isn't it. Don't waste a food credit on it.

Never said it was difficult, said it was a Very long pier and walk. No shade, no where to stop and rest and unfortunately no pedicabs or trams to hop on. Makes a difference if you are older or mobility challenged.

Google Amazing Race Cozumel it looks like they have changed it somewhat from when we did it years ago. We did it in the town and now it seems you end up on a beach.I'm sure its still lots of fun, wish I could do it soon! BTW it says teams of 2-10 people.

Don't know but I don't see why not.

It is a VERY long walk on a Very long pier to get from ship to anything.

The Haven outdoor sundeck had a designated smoking area. It looked very nice.

If I recall correctly it took at least 2-3 hours and both times we did it there were at least 8 teams.
