Skippy

We’re sailing sapphire princess to Alaska next year. They go to glacier bay which is on my list, plus they sail inside passage. We recently sailed celebrity edge to Alaska RT from Seattle. Loved it, so that’s why we are headed back next year. for Caribbean cruises, I like royal’s oasis class ships. Hoping to also sail Icon of the Seas at some point.

Young gen X here. We don’t cruise enough to have loyalty status on a cruise line. We look more at dates, ship, itinerary, and prices. We’ve sailed carnival, celebrity, and Royal. Each have their own pros and cons.

That’s a bummer there’s no point sharing. We have a few carnival cruises under our belt. Will be first time princess cruisers next year.

We have the plus package. Can my teens order the mocktails or are they limited to soda only? They like fruity drinks.

We booked the princess cruise for next year from Vancouver to Whittier. We do go to glacier bay.

We did the white water rafting in Juneau. My teens really liked it.

Thanks! We’ve sailed on the older Carnival ships (glory, splendor), oasis class and voyager class RCL and celebrity Edge class. Princess sounds like a good option.

We just returned from an amazing Alaska cruise and thinking of going again next year with my parents. It will be me, hubby, two teens, and the parents. We’ve been on celebrity, royal and carnival and had good experiences on those. What’s the entertainment on board like on Princess and HAL? How are the evening shows? How’s the food? Are dining times fixed or is there an anytime dining available? Are there other activities on board those ships, like trivia or other interactive games? This recent celebrity cruise had archery and curling competitions. We like to try and keep busy on the sea days. Thanks for the info!

Did you request that or was that done automatically?

Are we able to get duplicate keys? Booked 2 rooms, but had to book 1 adult and 1 child in each room, but we plan to have the kids sleep in one room and us in the other. Kids are teens and we’ve done this before.

Yay! Our cabins were assigned and they are right next to one another which is perfect. Mid ship.

1 week out and still no cabin assignments. 🤔

Our cruise is now sold out and we still don’t have cabins.

Does anyone have info on when we’re going to get a room assigned for our guarantee cabins? We booked guarantee interior because they were the only rooms left. We sail on the 6/14 Edge Alaska. I don’t want to show up to the port and them tell us that no cabins are left. Is it like the airlines where they will oversell rooms in the hopes that people will cancel?

Hi. We are sailing on celebrity edge to Alaska. Our ports are Ketchikan, Juneau, Skagway, Endicott Arm, Victoria. we are wanting to do some excursions on our own and wondering if it’s feasible. Are there any hikes we can take that are easy to get to? thanks!

So I found several forms from other cruise lines but none specific to celebrity cruises. Where can I find the celebrity cruise form?

My kids will be going on a cruise with their dad (my hubby) over spring break. Do I need to fill out some kind of permission form? If so, where can I find it? I can’t go cause new job and not enough time off.

I’ve been to Ravenna. Really cool city to explore. Amazing mosaics.

They like fun, adventure and hiking. National parks are more up their alley. They are 11 and 14. Looking back, did you like going to museums at that age? I know I didn’t. We were in NYC last summer and we went to Ellis Island and I thought it was fascinating, but they walked around for 30 mins and were done. They enjoyed children’s museums when they were younger. They might like Pompeii, but if we go to Italy, we’d want to see everything, so we might as well wait till they have an interest. Otherwise, Hubby and I will go back ourselves once the kids are out of the house.

For most US folks, cost of getting to Europe can cost more than the cruise itself, especially if you don’t live near a major international hub. I don’t think my kids would appreciate a Europe vacation. They could care less about visiting museums and looking at building architecture and history. We like doing adventure type of vacations. Caribbean cruises are inexpensive and the ports are easy to get to.

On our most recent cruise, we did only 1 excursion and stayed on the ship during the other 2 port stops cause we had been there done that. The purpose of this cruise was to relax and unwind and sure enough we were able to do just that. It was nice being on the ship while it was empty. The excursion we did go on as well worth it. It was the Rio Secreto cave tour in playa del carmen. Super awesome.

We used the ones on the glory. It was fine. I would suggest bringing your own detergent as the one on the ship is pricey. I bought detergent sheets on Amazon and they worked great.

It was super easy. We stopped by the muster station after we dropped off our luggage. They showed us how to put the life jacket on and they scanned our cards. So less than 5 mins.

Why can’t you go with him?

I wanted my kids to taste it. But even though I told them it tastes like chicken, they still didn’t want to try it.
