Now that Canadians can have medallions shipped the blue land should be much shorter

Why can’t she smoke cigarettes ? I have never seen anyone carded for smoking. She cant buy alcohol but if you have some in your cabin it would be up to you if she drinks it or not

It depends on the time of year. If you are traveling during the Alaskan season it will be very high. April not so bad

We usually give a $20 tip. They will tell you to tip st least $3-$5 per bag

We just boarded in Vancouver about 10 days ago. We had a meal on shore and went to check in around 2:00. Very short line check in and customs took no more than 30 minutes. We have found that boarding later avoids all the crazy crowds who just have to be the first group on board

I live in Portland Oregon and I have not owned a tie since I retired. Most of the weddings here are casual affairs after outside in Nature

No that is the one and only ship I avoid if at all possible

You can buy it when you board it will be charged to your cruise account and any OBC you have will be used and any amount not covered will be on your cruise account

How is that so much worse than board shorts with flip flops and ball cap

New SF hips as Keats have production issues. This could have been predicted long ago. Never ever book the first few months of a new ship due to delays and shake down issues once sailing

I would just see the restaurant manager pre first dinner and explain your situation
