We booked through Alaska Tales in Juneau for a Mendenhall Glacier/whale watching combo. Highly recommend. Rented our own Jeep in Skagway through DIY Jeep Tours. Very nice vehicle, included a binder of helpful information and a picnic lunch. We sailed during COVID so we were unable to get into...

We haven't sailed DCL, but we did Alaska in 2020 and we have it booked again on a different cruise line for this year. Don't necessarily be afraid to book excursions outside the cruise line. We booked Mendenhall Glacier/whale watching in Juneau, rented a Jeep in Skagway, a fishing excursion in...

We're doing this in February. Spending 3 days in WDW then cruising out of Miami. Might sound crazy, but we're flying from MCO-MIA the morning of the cruise. (I know, I know!). It's just 2 of us and we have a direct flight on Delta that puts us in the Miami Airport at 8:10AM. If, god forbid, the...

I wonder if some sort of hybrid/compromise would work? We've sailed another line a few times since COVID and while there was never a virtual only option, it was super streamlined and seemed much more efficient. As soon as you boarded the ship you were directed immediately to your muster...

Edit: found my answer on the 1st page! Swear I looked, but just missed it! Just booked Pop again for our trip in early February. All that was available was a Preferred room, so I snagged it. Haven't ever booked one before! Question is are all Preferred rooms in the 60s section? Our main...

Hi all! First time posting on this thread, but lurked a bit before our quick trip! Just got back from 2 nights at Pop and had a great time. Still my favorite value for sure! Stayed with my mom and special needs brother. Requested the 50s or 70s section to be close to the Skyliner as walking a...

Apologies if this is super off-topic, but I thought someone here might know! I need to book 3 rooms for a wedding and I wanted to book a Hampton and use my Honors Discount for all 3 rooms. I'll be in one room, but other couples (who are not Hilton members) will be in the other two. I would...

We did Alaska in 2020 in September (not DCL) and had a fantastic time - I don't think you have a reason to be worried about your dates! We visited Juneau, Skagway, Icy Strait Point & Ketchikan and had a day sailing through Tracey Arm Fjord. We went during the pandemic, so the entire Alaska...

I'm Platinum on another cruise line and since COVID, we can check in and choose our PAT 48 hours earlier than everyone else. Have never had an issue getting the arrival window we want. We also receive priority debarkation and priority water shuttle boarding for tender ports. There aren't really...

Wow I must have missed a bit! I find it interesting when people who have zero interest in anything regarding this thread feel the need to post negatively on it. With zero contribution. But that's fine, it's a public forum. Ignore and move on. As to whether this thread has gotten off track...

I've been reading through the threads on the Wish and am more and more solidified in my feelings that we won't be missing much by not booking that ship anytime soon ( or ever). And that we are absolutely not the target audience here. I feel that this ship is especially geared towards families...

So sorry you didn't have a good time - I've always heard positive things about the Breeze. Does that go out of Galveston? Not that it matters, I've just never sailed out of that port! Seems like "lines" are just about everywhere at this point. It's been made very public that staffing is a huge...

I think "so late" has very different meanings to different people? The majority of bars close between 6PM and midnight. The exception is probably the casino bar and of course, the one nightclub on board. I've cruised CCL many times and never really bothered with it. It's not my scene and we...

Ugh that is terrible. I 100% agree it just gives CCL a bad name and reinforces the stereotype! It could happen anywhere, let alone any cruise line. Bad behavior is at an all time high. Take a look at WDW, at airlines, and just look at Hawai'i asking tourists to stop coming. Be better people!

This might sound callous, but I'm of the mindset that it is what it is at this point. If someone is severely compromised or worried about catching COVID (or any illness), then cruising and traveling in general is not for you. And that's fine. Do what's best for your situation. I am vaxxed and...

I would grab an Uber or Lyft. You'd probably need an XL, but I imagine that still might be cheaper than a cab. It's a easy drive, so any option would work fine!

I'd switch to the early morning flight! The flight is direct and the first one out - ideally the best of both worlds. The plane should already be at the gate. Plus, if you get bumped from the late flight, you'll be on that next early morning anyway. And bonus if it saves the cost of a night at...

Love seeing differing opinions, although a lot of my ideas have already been said! -Mickey & Minnie's Runaway Railway is meh. I was underwhelmed I guess? I wouldn't wait longer than 10-15 minutes for it. -Tinkerbell is a a brat and my least favorite character. I would use another "B" word, but...

Just looking at the photo of the atrium...the carpet is incredibly jarring. You have the subdued blues and whites and golds and then BAM! CARPET! The rest of it is....fine? I don't hate it necessarily, but I'm underwhelmed. It's just lacking overall. I hope the LED lights provide some needed...

Unfortunately, I think O'Gills is your only option and it might be just til midnight. We were a little bummed there weren't more options for the late night/adult crowd on our sailing, but I recognize we aren't the main demographic for DCL :laughing:
