We purchased the KEY on the Liberty.  One of the perks is having "Access to the VIP seating at shows (reservations required through the Pre-Cruise Planner)".  I cannot see where you make reservations in the pre cruise planner.  Does anyone have experience with this?

Thank you!

How dressy did everyone get on the ship? We are sailing on the Crown on 7/30.

Thanks!!

Has anyone used Skyroam Mobile Hotspot in Alaska for Inside Passage cruise?

Can anyone post a link to the Crown Princess Patters for Alaska 2016? I can't seem to find them on CC

just booked the crown today for 7/31! I can't wait to read your reviews.

I don't have any balcony pics. It's big enough for a chaise lounge and table with two chairs. You can see aft but it doesn't wrap around. It's truly awesome to be in this suite!

There was a little vibration but nothing that I would complain about. We always book aft cabins and experience vibration. I had read about the bad vibration prior to our cruise and was looking for it. The vibration did cause a little rattle in the lamp beside my bed but I just put a towel on it at night and the it stopped. Honestly, it wasn't a big deal. My kids were in B731 (inside cabin) and vibration wasn't an issue there either.

However, we did experience one bad night noise-wise when we were dealing with the Syrian refugees stranded on a sailboat in the Adriatic. Our ship had to follow the sailboat for about 10 hours. When all this commotion was going on there was a lot of banging noise from that - bad enough that it woke us up throughout he night. The banging was from the boats hitting our ship. These boats we're bringing the refugees on board. That was bothersome.

Hope this helps.

Our Naples Suite on Baja did not have a wrap around balcony. You can enter the balcony from either the sitting room or bedroom. I don't hand any pics but can tell you it was uncovered, and had a table with 2 chairs as well as a chaise lounge. We loved the balcony! Great to go out there at night for stargazing!

Our aft suite was brand new. We were the 4th cruise after dry dock. Our suite was brand new. It is so lovely. Pictures don't do it justice.

Best perk for me was the free laundry!

I did the July 9 Island Princess Grand Med. our formal nights were the first full day at sea and the last full day at sea. I posted all the Princess Patters.

ROME in Limo. We just used them in both Civitavecchia and Livorno. They did an excellent job. They are not guides - just drivers. The driver will give you important info but not all the history like guides. They get the job done (will get you Vatican guide if you wish). We were not crazy about the restaurant they took us to in Rome. Our only complaint. I asked our driver if they had ever missed a ship and he said never. Saved us lots of $ by using them rather than the ship excursions.

We did have a wet bar in B745 and it was a love seat. We LOVED our suite.

Our stateroom was LOVELY! Can't say enough about how wonderful this suite is!
