I know there are bigger issues some are dealing with, but…. will have diamond drink vouchers for that last day?

Captain just announced that the Ovation will not arrive until 2pm on Thursday. Apparently we don’t just have the delay due to diverting course, but also need to wait for the tide to get under the bridge.

Yes, prayers for the passengers and their family. Glad they were able to get this done - it’s been windy! I haven’t heard any announcements about our schedule and any potential changes on arrival time in Vancouver. Did I miss it somehow?

Captain announced this afternoon that we’d be making full steam to San Francisco to medivac a passenger. He estimated that a helicopter could meet us at 200 miles out. At this point, he was not willing to project what this would mean toward our ETA in Vancouver, BC. Will update as we learn more.

Interesting! I couldn’t find specific info on how they are going the match, any one see that? This might mean I’ll be visiting the old mirage casino in Las Vegas soon. Also hope this doesn’t mean they are terminating their partnership with MGM…I’ve got a lot of mileage from that over the years! thanks for posting.

I've always heard back within 24 hours or so. However, the concierge can work magic on board, so if for some reason they didn't act on your email request, they can probably make things right once you talk to them in person.

No, I started drinking before I thought to take a photo! They had us drink half of each, then revisit with the food. I don’t think I’d started in the glass to the right…

The one on Oasis was not, the bartenders in Vintages were pushing it during the week.

Did it last month on Oasis. Had a lot of fun, three tastes, plus a bonus. We had a small plate with cheese, strawberry, and chocolate to pair with the wine. Surprised I didn’t take a photo, but got this one of the flutes. I will probably do it again.

Thank you for posting this! I am booked; got a balcony (chose the cabin) for $1585. Was concerned about airfare, but found a first class seat on a direct flight from Seattle for $489! Arriving two days early so will have a full day in Honolulu, then many relaxing sea days 🙂 Cheers,

Good to know. The upgrade would be an easy choice for me, based on prices I’m used to on Royal, but from my one experience with HAL and what I’ve seen on these boards, not sure. Will research more! Cheers

Thanks for the info!

I just booked an Alaska cruise with the basic ($11) HIA package included. Is there a way I can pay to upgrade to the Plus/Elite ($15) package pre cruise? I can see both packages in my cruise planner, but no option to upgrade. If there is a way to do this, can I assume the cost to upgrade would be the same as the difference in package prices shown online? Thanks!
