Thanks for your answers everyone - Alfredo’s & Vines on Sapphire - the dining PDF that T&ATravel shared is great

Sorry, I didn’t word this properly… I should have asked, On Sapphire to Alaska is the cost for Crab Shack an option for the 2 casual dining meals included in the Plus package? Thanks on the Princess website for Sapphire, Crab Shack is grouped with Alfredo’s & Trident Grill not under Specialty Dining 🤷🏻‍♀️

Specifically on 2024 Sapphire cruises to Alaska, Is Crab Shack casual or specialty dining? Thanks

Most of the replies mention weather - I just want to add that depending which cruise line, in July & August there will be lots of children

Yes TRLD you’re right - our TA called Princess to have the bookings linked & that connected cabins are needed for health/caregiving reasons - if they need the 3/4 person obst OV cabin maybe we’ll get moved to connected balconies 🤣🤞🏻

Masonchar thanks for your post - my friend & I just booked yesterday - we booked adjoining obstructed OV cabins with 1 person in each cabin - after reading your post I checked & 1 cabin is a 3/4 person - I would be really angry if Princess bumped us out, we specifically wanted adjoining cabins - booked both through Expedia but they have separate booking #’s - I will be calling/messaging to make sure our Bookings are marked No Upgrade

We are currently on Regal - we were each given a $25 acct credit - we never asked, it was just applied to our acct 👍🏻

We’ll be on Regal Princess & will be snorkeling on Roatan on Dec 6th - Roatan is our first port & I thought we’d snorkel there & then have Cozumel as a back up if needed when we’re there on the 8th - The reviews of the Princess snorkel excursions weren’t very good so we’re booked with Victor Bodden Tours (they offer a private off shore snorkel as well as the party boat) - I’ll let you know how it goes 🙂🏖️ 🤿

I recommend heading up to the GoKarts ASAP to book your times, especially if you want the double karts (they only run a few times during the cruise) Also recommend the Laser Tag area for great viewing/photos in Glacier Bay, was much less crowded than other areas - and was a great place to let kids run around, play hide & seek, etc - we went there many times and never saw anyone actually doing Laser Tag 🤷🏻‍♀️

I think that because olives are stated in the menu’s description of the dish & that will get Princess off the hook for being 100% negligent - a judge might say that knowing about the olives you should have been more careful - have you asked a lawyer’s opinion?

Try CAA - cancellation insurance is very expensive

No, was closed - Our itinerary had 2 half days in port and only 1 full day (opened at 7pm, left port at 8:15pm) so kids went every day (to give us a break 😉) - was open on sea days 9am to noon, 2pm to 4pm & 7pm to 11pm

Just got back from taking my 2 grandkids to Alaska - in Seattle all my paperwork was taken and copied (the NCL form signed by both parents, the scan I had of their IDs & a handwritten letter with the information for Canada) in your situation I would suggest having written proof/court docs your son has sole/full custody (when we signed kids up for Splash Academy they took copy of NCL form again)

We just got off Encore - cruised to Alaska with my 7 yo twin granddaughters - embarkation day is the only time adults can ‘tour’ Splash Academy, after that no adults can go past the gates so if you want to go inside & check it out… Sea Day hours were 9am to noon, 2pm to 4pm & then 7pm to 11pm - there is a fee after 11pm - Port Day hours vary - kids were excited to go… played basketball, LOTS of interesting crafts/artwork, played Mario Cart - Sea Days were very busy & they said harder to get a chance to do some activities (600 kids under 18yrs on our sailing) - the staff were great

Ahh.. I think I understand… if I book my next cruise that’s how to get extra benefits rather than just buying a CN deposit, thanks
