We're on the Inside Passage cruise on the 22nd. Miss you by one week. I wanted this to be an easy (no rough seas) cruise as I haven't been on a ship in years. This is my dipping my toes in the cruising water. The next Alaska cruise will include a trip to Denali for sure.
Just an update: Personal Shopper said that they could not source the Canadian Resident Park Hoppers.
It’s been a very long time since AM was able to purchase discounted tickets. The only fluctuation in price now pertains to the exchange rate.
DH felt absolutely nothing while I was wandering around like a drunk. The inside cabins are super popular because of the virtual porthole. In a way I wish we had never stayed in a verandah because I would never know what I was missing. I enjoyed it very much and used it a lot. This cruise is going to be very different regardless. I want to really enjoy things on the ship.I do think seasickness is different for everyone. I get very seasick yet I seldom get ill on a cruise. There are exceptions. I had a friend who brought her littles and her mother on a DCL cruise. It was actually my first cruise. The littles decided that we would have a tea party before we went to dinner and ordered a few cheese plates for nibbles. They had an inside cabin and I was only able to stay in it for 10-15 minutes before I HAD to leave. I felt all the movement of the ship. Some people don't feel a thing, they certainly didn't. Add to that, they often sell out very quickly.
On the first night of a cruise, if our dinner is in a dinning room without windows I feel it and get queasy. I can honestly say I have never been in an ocean view cabin on deck two but I have seen video of it and even that makes me feel queasy. Seeing the water churn, the waves break, nope. Not for me. BUT tons of people love them. I prefer higher up. I don't need a veranda, if I do have one bonus but we don't use it to much. As long as I can see distance when in my cabin, I'm fine. When walking around the ship I don't even think about it so maybe some of it is in my mind? When it all comes down, I'm just happy to be on vacation and if it's cruising I'm in.
No worries, Mel. We're heading off for a cruise on Sunday. That MaxPass will come while we are away.
She is just deciding which weekend they want to cruise on. They were given a couple of dates - she still has to choose.
That's where you need to have a surrogate in place to take advantage of it while you're gone.No worries, Mel. We're heading off for a cruise on Sunday. That MaxPass will come while we are away.
LOL...the last one was when I got home from my trip and had to take my mom to the emergency room. Followed by a 6 day hospital stay. Well guess what? We just did emerg two days in a row with an eventual admission and now probably an 8-9 day stay. Gallbladder the last time, spinal fracture this time. So if Max Pass popped up now that would be some weird karma. No thank you.
Thank you. I am so not cut out for this stuff. I thought I was in the time of my life where I was rather free. No kids, pay check is all mine, do anything I please, my biggest issue should be socking away the extra money my financial planner has said I need in order to retire early. BUT NO....now I'm becoming caretaker for the next several months. Trying to organize keeping my mom on one floor in her house for a month or more. Groceries, laundry, housekeeping etc. etc. Yes, I do know how I make myself sound and it's not good. I feel guilty for that. It's been difficult for many years, always walking on eggshells for fear of saying something wrong.
