Creator's Key Takeaways

Disney has decided to air on the side of caution. And instead of just completely saying that you can no longer decorate your stateateroom doors, your cabin doors, they are saying that no longer are they going to allow the decorations to be up on the ceiling by the door or on the walls.

Oation of the Seas, if you can believe it or not, is going to Homeport in Seward, Alaska. And this is so exciting because, you know, first off, when you go to Alaska the first time, you really are going to want to do that round trip from Seattle cruise.

I highly recommend doing that. You're going to see a lot more beautiful scenery going in and out of the Whittier Seward area. Just that whole cruise is so worth it.

The tricky thing comes in is it doesn't allow for onboard credit. And so, you could actually have all of the excursions booked and paid for either with your credit card or with on board credit that they list there as not paid in full.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Keep all decorations on the cabin door and be careful to avoid damage on Disney cruises.
Consider a north-south Alaska voyage between Seward and Vancouver for more scenery.
Check the excursions section under 'manage your cruise' to verify what is actually booked and paid for.
Don't worry if you receive an excursion statement showing a balance if you used onboard credit.

YouTube Video Description

Today we're discussing three cruise updates that caught my attention. 🚢 Disney Cruise Line has updated its stateroom door decoration policy. 🚢 Royal Caribbean's Ovation of the Seas will begin sailing from the impressive new cruise terminal in Seward, Alaska. 🚢 And most importantly, a reminder for Princess cruisers about excursion statements and why they can sometimes look confusing, especially when onboard credit is involved. I regularly hear from cruisers who worry they've missed a payment or accidentally owe additional money for excursions. In many cases, that's not actually the situation. Have you ever received one of those Princess excursion notices? Let me know your experience in the comments.
