I have the schedule confirmed as SOUTH BOUND on August 30. I think they must be loading everything on their site and testing it and then pulling it immediately. If it said Northbound I am 99% sure it was an error. Unless some drastic change to the schedule happened at the last minute that is unlikely. They need the last cruise to end in Alaska to combine with the crossing to Japan.

HOWEVER - I am pleased that the FREE AIR was there, I was not sure. They are really very serious about not releasing anything until it hits the system.

The non use air credit is bound to be $500, so $3496 minus the $500 would be a begining price point for the cruise of $2996. The same price point for the cruise this year is $2757. An increase of $239 per person. My guesses were pretty close. Deposit per cabin for two people for past passengers would be $569 for new passengers $600. Then all the discounts come off of course, onboards, mine etc. Still dont know the single supplement to quote that accurately.

I will book everyone with the $500 non air credit initially and then if you decide to take their air we will go back in and change it. The air may be a good deal. Flying into Anchorage depending on where you live you may get a forced overnight. It includes all the transfers - from Anchorage to Whittier. Air to Alaska is around $500 or more. Those with FF miles may be better off but the rest of us should consider that free air option.

The cabin numbers are changing with the wind as people decide to wait or change a category etc. So be advised things will change but the cabin numbers and location will only get better as people move off the list.

Any more drops off please do email me today as early as you can because at the end of the day I will give RSSC the final list and each person dropping off moves cabin numbers. If you are even considering it though keep the cabin because it is totally refundable and you have tons of time to ponder whether or not to go. You will have lots of time to book later of course it is just we are getting the best valued or best located suite cabins doing it so early.
