Several cruise lines tender in Sitka but RC docks a few miles out of town, then you bus in.

There's no real connection between when you book a cruise and when you book a flight. Just be careful if you book a business class flight that has a connection. They sometimes will book you in economy (at business class prices) for one of the legs and not tell you.

I haven't been on Explorer in a long time but at least they've changed the layout and upgraded chairs.

Is Explorer the only ship left with the suite lounge in the windowless room midship?

The solution should be that you need to reserve any chair. Reserve a chair, you get it for 2 hours. You can renew at the end of the 2 hours. But if your reserved chair is seen empty the entire 2 hours, then you cannot renew it.

Those people can go into the app and add their own CC

No one ever *needs* a drink package to get a drink, alcoholic or not. Want to get your 3 yr old a mocktail? Just pay for it a la carte.

I must be the only one who doesn't like those cookies. They're usually so overcooked and dry

They have about 12 days of menus for longer cruises.

MTD is merely when you eat, not what.

I haven't seen a white party in years. Sometimes there's a white night, but hardly anyone dresses in white.

It's been like this since the new menus came out. That said the menu that would show for your cruise is NOT the menu for your cruise anyway. It's the menu for that ship's current cruise. So if you really need to see a menu, view that ship's current sailing.

I've enjoyed them, but it's nothing different than you'd get at Red Lobster

Funny, some think Liberty is too small

I've met plenty of pinnacles staying in suites. I met a pinnacle couple once that all they book is the Royal Suite and nothing else. I've also met pinnacles that always get interior rooms.

I snag a time in the app, then go back in when it's convenient via the website to finish the check-in.

It'll be hot both places.

I've never had issues with above deck noise in a GS, other than the DJ occasionally. But no foot traffic noise.

Affirm may have some deal with RC that locks in a price.

It was actually quite expectedly strong.

You can take back as much as you want, at least for what CBP cares. The only issue is if you opt to declare anything over the allowance. TSA has a rule of nothing over 140 proof, but I don't know how they'd enforce that.

Even tender priority is only worth it if you have a reason or desire to get off the ship ASAP

I heard his wxbell subscription expired.

Never do this with prescription meds on the concern that luggage gets lost or damaged. If you have meds that you want to carry discretely, just put the bottles in some smaller bag in your carry on. Then just make sure that carry on isn't going to have something else in it that would likely get flagged on an X-ray for manual review. In the very unlikely event that your carry on has to be searched at the terminal, they'll be looking for what caused the X-ray to alert, not what's in your pill bottle.
