Yes I saw the party on another site! And they all got a $25 room credit in honour of D+ day! I'm jealous, we've only done one member cruise and it was fantastic. Would have been nice to do this one but it was out of my budget this time!We have a friend on the ship who was lamenting about this. It's a DVC cruise though, and they look to have a ton of stuff to entertain them. I guess it's better than sitting on a regular cruise. They are still doing the Sail Away Party
This is my friend's first DVC cruise. She's not a direct member, but a friend is. I am also a resale member. I think this is one of the few benefits that seems worthwhile for us with direct vs resale, considering the cost now and the specific resort.
I am hoping that since they don't dock in the fjord, that is why it isn't listed as a destination. I am on the next sailing and if this happens I will be livid. I am usually an easygoing person but for some reason this trip has been the most stressful vacation I have ever planned.Thank goodness. Their destination is now listed as Skagway so I'm thinking they will miss the glacier??
I think the destination listed must be wrong because it says they will be there at like 5am tomorrow. First off, they don't have dock space until Thursday (unless they worked it out with Skagway??) And second, that's less than 24 hours from now and they are not even past the northern tip of Vancouver Island yet. So hopefully they are able to book it to the glacier for tomorrow. Time will tell.
Oof! That would totally suck! Who knows when you will be getting back there and what state the glaciers will be in. I know it isn't DCL's fault at all, but I'm sure GS is having to deal with a lot of crap right now!
The airport was so backed up the day I left. So many cruisers in security line (US/International) and that was with only 1 ship coming into port. Can't even imagine if there were multiple ships docking. Partially a lack of personnel but also the personnel they had either weren't trained well, were just too exhausted, or weren't good at their jobs. Probably the longest security line I've ever had (remember Vancouver doesn't have TSA Pre-check, though you do skip some line with Global Entry). At the scanner, the one checking x-rays was taking forever and then the one inspecting bags constantly was going over to check with the scanner to see if that was the item they flagged... I was happy my parents dropped me off so early (they were driving back to CA later).
id be absolutely devastated.I think our insurance will pay out if we miss a port but like yourself im very much looking forward to the glacier and seeing everything that day, it seems to be one of the ‘special’ days on the cruise. My little boy has been so looking forward to this, he starts school next year so theres no way we could afford this cruise during school holidays so it really is once in a lifetime for us, im already quite stressed about itYep. I know that Alaska is going to be beautiful...but I want the glacier more than ANYTHING else. Next time I am going to just fly there. This is stressing me out way too much. I usually love planning trips but this has been a nightmare. Nothing I can do about it, but this is just too much for me right now.
