Yes, the Marriott is a dandy location for the night before a NCL cruise. Not the best if you will be spending a few days exploring Seattle.

We would like to stay within the Marriott chain of hotels. Have 3 days pre NCL cruise to sightsee as well. Where are the best locations for hotels to be close to sites and not an outrageous taxi or uber the morning of the cruise. Thank you!

We are on the Encore, round trip Seattle. We are arriving 3 days before. Looking for a reasonably priced hotel with points or dollars in a good sightseeing location, and/or close to the port. Would prefer to be in Bonvoy, (Marriott's chain of hotels), if possible. Thank you!

Last trip, not with NCL though, we did a Salmon Bake that we liked in Skagway.

This our second cruise to Alaska, however, this is the first round trip Seattle. I have a couple of excursion questions. In Ketchican last time we just walked in town and had our last crab dinner. Is there a tour to take? Is Juneau the only place to see whales (Juneau, Sagway, Ketichan and very short Victoria stop? Anything to see/do in Victoria for just a 7:00 pm to Midnight stop?

Any nice gold panning where you get a souvenier?

Have you done a Salmon bake?

What independent tour companies have you used.

We are 4 adults.

Thank you!

Where do you buy something like this?

I just booked the Millenium for August going Northbound, does it matter what side of the ship my balcony cabin is on? Thank you

Can you cancel any drink package you may buy such as refreshment or soda. Also what about excursions. And, when?

Not much difference between sparkling water and club soda 😀

Sometimes they are the same, but sometimes I think Club Soda has salt.

Anybody have any pictures of some drink prices. Trying to get a handle on what I would spend.

Thank you

Has anyone cancelled their bar tab or know if you can? We have one for our January cruise and if it's not treated as sailor loot that's a lot of drinking in a 5 night cruise. Thank you

It's more than double to get the refreshment package. I know it's personal preference. Like that you can get coffees and bottled waters still and sparkling. 

With my soda package I can get sparkling water in my cup, correct? 

If you done both for an adult, do you think you spent the difference. How long between coffees?  If you get a virgin drink, can you pay for a shot of alcohol?

Thank you. 

Is it a long swim out before you start seeing fish? Thank you

I know it's personal choice, but we have never done a specialty restaurant on Royal before. Besides Chops, if you were going to pick only one Specialty restaurant, which would you pick?

Thank you

I assume since it's a card, you can share the 15 coffees. How much is a specialty coffee Latte or Espresso normally? We are on the Symphony.  Thank you

They are all on the app

But, before you sail? I'm curious now.

Hello,

Does anyone please have a link to the menus for the main dining room per night. I had seen them recently, but cannot find them now. Thank you.

If you are not booked yet you don’t get to see the pricing. Prices vary on ship and itinerary. And then packages vary on sales / promo going on. 

I am already booked. So if I log in and go to dining it should show the prices?

Where can we see the prices for the specialty restaurants on Symphony of the Seas? I see price fixed or ala carte and the $ signs but don't see a price. Thank you

This is our first time on Symphony of the Seas or any Oasis Class Ship. Please tell me the Pros and Cons. Anything not to miss doing/eating etc. Want to make the most of our week.

Also, if I buy the Soda Package, my husband doesn't have to correct? In the freestyle soda machines can you get flavored seltzer waters or even plain seltzer water with your refillable soda cup. Also, is there something to show, or you always have to have your refillable cup with you.

Thank you!

Just sailed in a balcony on Carnival Vista with 2 people. The balcony is small and there wasn't a bunk for a 3rd person. Two adults and 1 child will be in an 8C 7382, how will the bedding work for 3 and are there 3 chairs on that tiny balcony? Thank you

We sail this Saturday

I've had a few excursions announced to us only on the day we were to dock.  Nothing exciting so far - beach trips, hop on hop off buses, walking trips, and that sort of thing.

It was in belize 2 reef snorkeling trip and party with drinks. It said new

Which one was that? It's taking us FOREVER to decide on what excursions we're going to take.

Had a question about Belize excursions. Did they cancel some? Also, any new covid changes since Carnival started back? thank you
