I will be on that cruise as well. I am not to worried about massive changes like the Island had. If they were going to add cabins there would be multiple deck plans and the ability to book aft suites which do not exist today
If you are on the Enchanted then you have the concierge lounge which you can access at any time and there will be a machine there for tea and will dispense hot water. We often use it early morning for tea
Columbia is the one country that may be an issue. If you can’t get an emergency appointment for a renewal bring everything you have passport birth cert drivers license etc. Since it is not a closed loop cruise you really need to contact the state department for an emergency renewal otherwise you are basically hoping
Last time I sailed from Seattle was about a year ago and it was a mess. There was no suite/elite line and just a pile up of people. There were 2 ship in and it was hard just to drop off our bags. I will be sailing from there in 2025 and I probably will wait until at least 1:00 before trying to get there
On the Discovry last year it was all MDR lunches including embarkation. We were surprised when we sat down and were told we would have to order as soon as our wine arrived
On the Discovery in Alaska last year the lunch hours were 11:30 to 1:00. Usually we have seen it 12:00 to 1:30 on other itineraries. Lately we have taken to boarding 2:00 or so after having a nice lunch on land. After all we will be in the ships MDR many times during the cruise so it is nice to treat ourselves to something different. Next month we are doing a high tea prior to boarding at a restaurant within Canada Place
If I am not mistaken the old plus package did not include waiving of room service fees like the new one does so that would be $5 for a room service call I believe
