Who knows what they'd say, but I call those trousers.

Thanks for the great trip report and for posting the Dailies. I'm interested in learning if the OVC is as scaled back at dinner as others have reported. Thanks!

This thread has photos of the Beyond's Dailies:

There were some great deals last summer. My TA got a great group rate on the Beyond's October 2023 TA. We are $150 per person per day for an IV with AL pricing.

Thanks - since I'm not a vegetarian, I wouldn't have asked to see that menu.

A question about TA menus - are there different menus in the MDRs each night, or do the menus repeat after 7 days?

Can you order the exclusive dishes of one main restaurant at another one? I've seen reports that you can, but I wasn't sure if those reports were second hand or not.

I've seen reports that the Edge class ships no longer have early or late seating, only select. was that true for you?

@Clay Clayton - I've really been enjoying your posts on Alaska and Hawaii! Grab some Band-Aid blister bandages before your next trip. They have both heel and toe varieties. The key is to put them on BEFORE you have the blister (when you're just feeling some irritation) and then leave them on. They stay put through showers and the pool and are a life saver.

I'll be interested to hear what the weather is like in Alaska this late in the season. We cruised Alaska in July and still had fairly cool weather. Going to Hawaii right after Alaska will be quite a contrast! Are you still packing carryon only? 😁
