Oh awesome, thanks so much for your response and for the pic!! So helpful! Looks like I can leave the inflatable tub at home 🙂 

Hi all! I’ll be on Royal Princess to Alaska  this summer with a 4yr old and almost 2yr old and had a couple of questions:

1. Can I bring juice boxes for my kids? I don’t really give them juice bc of the sugar and give them these boxes that are mostly water, little actual juice. Also assuming other packaged snacks, applesauce packets etc are ok?

2. I know my little one cannot get in the pool bc of the diaper but is there anything for an under 2 yr old to do? Any water activity, splash area?

3. We will be in a mini suite and have seen word there may be a shower/tub combo? Is it possible to give a tub bath or do I need to bring my own inflatable tub? 
 

also anything anyone wishes they brought for their kids and didn’t or helpful tips would be nice to hear- thanks!

Thank you!!

Does anyone know if you have to buy tickets in advance for the White Pass Railway in Skagway? Or are tickets generally available throughout the day?  I’ll be traveling with small kids and looking for more flexible options - where I don’t have to do too much reserving in advance for things. Thanks!

Can you still get Alaskan king crab with the population decrease?

I am sailing to Alaska on 6/23 with two small children and a dad that loves diet soda. 
1. Other than the 2 bottles of wine (1 per person) what drinks can we bring on board? I’ve read you can bring unlimited water and soft drinks? Is that accurate? Juice boxes for kids? 

2. Is milk readily available? My kids drink milk a few times a day, first thing in the morning, in between meals and at bedtime. 
2. Can I bring food and snacks for my toddlers? Like applesauce packets, crackers, cookies etc?

thanks! 

Hi- I am looking to upgrade to plus for our cruise in June for $60/pppd. Is that charged only for the first two guests? I am traveling with my two little kids- so for the gratuities- are gratuities only included for myself and my husband? Would I still be paying gratuities for my two little kids? Thanks! 

We had a 5 year old with us and he had his life vest on and at first tried the snorkel but settled for holding his breath. He got to see tons of turtles. He is also a huge pirate lover so he absolutely loved seeing the sunken ships. Our excursion (calabaza) also had a ton of noodles to assist with staying afloat.

Hi AtlantaAlly- I am debating going with Calabaza for a cruise in December. How did you like it? Was the experience worth it? Do you stop at a beach or is there one close by? Thanks!!

Thanks for the feedback!

We haven't gone to the Baths by boat yet so can't compare. We have seen others make the swim in and it can be very rough depending on conditions. If you are a very good swimmer it's a good option. The ferry/taxi is nice because you can visit other areas of the island by taxi.

 

 

 

You can often have more time on VG by going on your own, and may also beat the excursion group by an hour depending on your time at port.

Thanks blue_water!! Your description of the swim was very helpful. I'm not sure I want to rough it in the waters my first time out. I was sort of picturing an easy float or a sand bar or something.

Thanks for your help!

Hi- my husband and I will be on the Summit in a few weeks and would like to try a ship excursion to VG- the ship offers two and I can't decide between the one with the ferry and you get dropped off and walk or the open swim? Anyone know or have an opinion? Thanks!!

My husband and I will be heading to St. Maarten on Celebrity in 3 weeks- I've heard Orient beach is the beach to go to- once there is it possible to rent items for any water sports? Jet ski or the inflatable motorboats? Or is there a company to do arrangements beforehand? Thanks!
