When we went to Flaam, I booked the train ride directly with the railway, independent of the RCL excursion, for cheaper and at a different departure time that still fit within our port stay. Of course, using your OBC would be cheaper.

We have an 11-passenger van reserved through Juneau Car Rentals, for our cruise in August. I received a call back within a timely manner and then did the reservation online. I received an e-mail confirmation pretty quickly. Be aware they do not sell insurance there, and you do have to list your insurance on the request to book. You might want to contact your insurance company to make sure they cover rental car use, and specifically ask about covering "loss of use". Not all insurance companies do, and in the unlikely event that there is damage enough to sideline the vehicle for a time, the fee could be pricey. We also can downsize to a 7-passenger vehicle closer to the time, should anyone in our group of 9 decide not to go. I haven't seen a credit card charge for this, so I'm assuming we will be charged upon rental. I may change the payment method to direct bank transfer, to avoid the credit card surcharge.

As a backup, look for a stainless steel electric immersion heater - small, saw one on Amazon as low as $5.99.
