Thankfully, we did not need bug netting anywhere we went.

I just returned from the same itinerary on Saturday, July 13th. I'm not sure if you are aware, but our itinerary was changed at the last minute. They removed the 2 ports on Greenland and substituted Nuuk instead due to too much ice in the ports. They also removed one port in Iceland so we ended up with an extra at sea day. We did see icebergs, and there was heavy fog and high winds. I would recommending bringing warm layers, gloves, hat, and either hiking boots or shoes. Most dressed very casually on the ship except those I saw getting special family portraits done. Let me know if anyone has questions and I'll be happy to reply back. Enjoy your trip!

I am just off the Star and my friend and I both tried the prime rib in Cagney's. It was terrible. Very tough and little flavor. Probably the worst prime rib I have ever had. On the plus side, we ate at Moderno and all the meat there was very good.

Thank you for all the responses! I'm sure we will have a fabulous time. 😀

We just got notified that the itinerary changed on our trip departing Sunday, August 21st on Voyager of the Seas. We were supposed to visit Kotka and they just substituted Helsinki Finland. That is OK, however that doesn't leave me any time to research before we leave the U.S. on Wednesday. If anyone has recommendations of "must-see" places or things to do while there, please let me know. TIA 😃

Hi Funkytown83 - my sister and I are on the same trip. I also won a Royal Up yesterday. I was lucky enough to go from an inside promenade view to a junior suite too! I was allowed to bid on all categories including suites when I first got the e-mail invitation, so I bid on all the balcony and above categories. After a couple of weeks, my sister who is in a different cabin got an invitation to bid, but no suites were available to her. Good luck on your 2nd RoyalUp. Looking forward to the trip!

I found out earlier today that I won a RoyalUp from an interior promenade view room to a junior suite! The bid was $320 which was around the minimum bid required. I'm just over 3 weeks away from my cruise.

For anyone interested, I saw the deluxe beverage package on the 8/21 Voyager sailing is down to $65. The Key is also back down to $20.99/day. Both are the lowest I've seen so far. Unfortunately I hadn't booked the trip back on Black Friday when I've heard there were some good sales.
