This is a great breakdown, thanks! I have a bit of a dumb question...I'm going on my first cruise next week to the Bahamas. Do you take your passport with you on port days or leave it in the safe?
@cruisingwithkristie 6 сағат бұрын
Your cruise line will let you know. Different locations have different expectations. For example, in Skagway, Alaska you need your passport if you cross the Canadian border on the White Pass if you get off a bus or Train, but if you don’t get off the train you don’t need your passport.

Doing the Whittier voyage in Aug 2024 to Vancouver. It’s our 4th time back on HAL, but first time doing this route. 2022 we were on the Eurodam and we only got 4 hours late at night for Victoria which we love. I now closely look at port times before booking cruise. Thanks for sharing and safe sailings.

We are in Whittier right now waiting for a coach to take us to Denali. The skies are blue and the temperature is around 50 degrees. The cruise portion was wonderful. Since you are a repeat customer, you know you are in for the beauty and freshness of Alaska. 😊

On our cruise , they left all the dishes outside their doors and it was really kind of gross as some of them were there for quite a while . I would assume that was standard procedure for that cruise line.
@cruisingwithkristie 14 күн бұрын
I think it is standard procedure for a lot of cruise lines. I guess personally I’d rather have the dishes out of my own cabin, out of sight out of mind, but on the other hand if they are in the hall for an hour 😷. Thanks for watching and commenting. 😀🛳️🚢

That's difficult for room stewards though because they're trying to clean around dirty dishes. My dad worked on a cruise ship and said to call room service and see if a steward can come pick up your dirty dishes. Leaving them in the hallway attracts bugs and leaving them in the room 'hides' them from stewards.
