Creator's Key Takeaways

rail up is fine as long as you understand the realities of rail up so rail up is the way you can upgrade to a stateroom the bidding process you book whatever cabin you book and then rile up says hypothetically how much money would you pay to upgrade to your cabin

the most noticeable difference number one if you haven't seen already is you actually have balcony discount that you didn't get with um uh being gold you can apply it to your reservation possibly

Skagway is one of the Premier Alaska cruise ports um I think a lot of people end up doing let's see uh they're either taking the white pass train that is a train that's that literally is right in downtown Skagway and takes you into Canada

your cell service will if you're from the US will work fine when you're in the ports you know um Skagway Juno whatever they work fine in there because these are cities and it's part of the United States works fine

Creator's Tips & Advice

Work with a travel agent to find cabins that may not show up on the website
Consider two connecting cabins for families instead of one cabin for better options and cost
Print luggage tags from the Royal Caribbean website and staple them to your bags
If you need luggage urgently, you can walk around the deck to find it in the staging area

🆕New to Cruising? This Creator Addresses:

Cell service on boardCell service works fine in ports but disappears at sea; use cell coverage in port if you don't want to pay for internet
Luggage delivery timingLuggage typically arrives within a few hours of boarding, usually by afternoon; you can retrieve it from the staging area if needed
