Hello all!

Hoping someone who has done Skagway on their own might be able to offer some guidance/tips/feedback on our proposed itinerary. We are thinking about renting a car and driving the Klondike Hwy, with stops at the following locations (Suspension Bridge, Caribou Crossing, Emerald Lake). We are in port from 7-5. Too ambitious?

Hi there - very helpful information. Am I crazy to take a sailing leaving Seattle on 9/14?

Hi The caves of Drach are possible from the port I think I have given details somewhere further back.

       If you go in the peak months it will very crowded,try to find a tour company on the island that pick up from the port,you can go on the bus or hire a car which is the best option for me.

Come back to me if if you needed to know more

We will be there the third week in September, is that a crazy time to visit?
I am searching for a private tour guide for my group. I would love any recommendations from you (or anyone on this board). Thank you again!

Hello Roger - what a fabulous resource you are...thank you!

Question about Mallorca - are the caves a viable option from the port? If they are, are they too overrun with people?

Mine were all pending as well this morning. I didn’t bid on the Club balcony previously, only Haven. But since Haven were showing SOLD OUT, and my bids were all pending , I went back in and made a low bid on Club. I think it might have only been 4 /5 hours later my bid was excepted!!! 

I considered bidding on the Club, but, I’m currently booked on a hump balcony cabin…and I wasn’t willing to switch off for a smaller balcony (the other perks didn’t have enough weight for me)…

Oddly enough, all of my bids for my sailing on the 13th still say pending. I’m guessing they keep them for backup in case there is a last minute cancellation or COVID+.

Upgraded this morning to a Club Balcony!

 

I bid the min $100pp ( Canadian funds). 2 days to go - sailing March 13th.

We started in a sail away inside for a great last minute price, paid (called in) for an extra sweet deal on a balcony (BA) with free at sea extras and was able to then bid on spas, suites and Haven. Much cheaper than booking a balcony direct.

Not sure what the difference is between a regular balcony and Club balcony suite, assuming maybe a bit bigger? Better location?

Researching now!

 

Club balconies are the same size as standard balconies - you get a few perks (I think like two bags of laundry or pressing, a little bit of a bigger bathroom, and I think two complimentary room service orders…something like that) 

Thinking my upgrade chances are slim to none at this point. 😫

If we don’t win an upgrade, do we receive some type of communication saying “sorry, but you’re a loser!”? 😂

H6 to H2!!!

 

 

What kind of cabin was H2?

Hello everyone!

Two questions:

1) We are set for My Time Dining - does that mean we have to reserve a specific time in one of the MDRs? Or, do we just walk in?

2) Second question - I've heard about something called "Family Time Dining" - can someone please tell me what this is and how it works? Is it available on every ship?

Thanks in advance for the help!

Thanks so much for the information and the quick response!! 👍

Hi all!

Just curious - what sorts of things can be found at the Windjammer for dinner? For example, I sailed on the Harmony last year - at dinner time there was a pasta station, mongolian station, etc. Anything like that?
