Trying to catch up here on our flight home but still 50 pages behind.
Some churner highlights and low points from our trip:
Status upgrade at Hyatt to high floor, nice views. Had to walk down 32 floors during fire alarm.
Free drinks and extra legroom on AA flight due to seat upgrade paid with BOA TR credit. Free internet in flight with Aviator MC credit.
First lounge visit with PP from Hilton Amex. (DH might have been tipsy after booze in lounge and on flight, just sayin)
Upgraded room with points at Westin Vancouver, giving us Executive Premium room with harbor view.
Booked 3 cruise excursions with URs. 2 were awesome. Saw a bear, whales, moose, seals, the Yukon, sled dogs, etc. Lost 51k UR when I canceled the floatplane excursion due to recent crashes, further compounded by having to pay DCL $650 for one of their excursions. At least I used Disney GCs at 10% off.
Misplaced Global Entry cards (obtained with CC Rewards) and had to go thru security and customs like a peasant.
Overall, we had a fabulous time both in Vancouver and on the cruise. I would cruise again, but only for the right ports at a good price. Not really a Caribbean cruise kind of person though I’d be tempted to do a HOTHS or Christmas cruise there only I’m not allowed to take of work at the right times.
What excursions did you book? Going on an Alaskan Cruise June 2020 and so lost on this as we normally do Caribbean. I have no clues on Alaska (besides it will be colder and rainier..)
