Does anyone have any insights on which crew members are/aren't included in this gratuity? For those of you who have booked a Plus or Premium fare before did you find this included all of your gratuities or were you still tipping on top of that?

Here you go. Though, I can't take the credit...these were posted earlier in this thread by another user (thanks, @Coral). I hope this helps! Alaska 2025 Cruisetours Schedule_Fares_Amenities_2023_0706.xlsx Alaska 2025_Cruise_Schedule_Fares_Amenities_2023_0706.xlsx

Thanks for the heads up! For a family that is trying to plan ahead to 2025 its great to see this level of detail before the on sale date. We're debating between the northbound and southbound itineraries on the Sapphire Princess. We've never been to Alaska before (only 1 Caribbean cruise in our past), so I'm looking for insights from others who have been before on the pros/cons between these itineraries. I've outlined some key differences below. For reference, we will be traveling with 3 generations of family including grandparents and two kids (ages 5 & 9) Any helpful thoughts to share? Northbound includes College Fjord - Southbound includes Hubbard Glacier Southbound has twice as as much scenic cruising time at Hubbard Glacier (5 hrs) than the northbound with College Fjord (2.5 hrs) The total time in Glacier Bay is similar, but arrive at different times - 6 AM for northbound vs 9:15 AM for southbound Northbound is in Juneau 3.5 additional hours with a more reasonable arrival time (8 AM vs 6:30 AM) Southbound arrives in Ketchikan at a more reasonable hour - 10 AM instead of 6 AM on the northbound Southbound departure is 4.5 hours later (8:30 PM) than the northbound (4 PM) Thanks for helping a newbie out.
