Cruise Travel

So I finally booked an Alaska cruise through princess for my family, and we have two options. Traditional dining (early 6-630 or late 8-8:30) and anytime. Im thinking about early dining because my family will want the night to do anything, however, i do like the option of any time dining (so we won't be forced to cut port excursions early and what not). I'm just trying to see what is the major disadvantage of one over the other: I.e.
1) What would happen if i chose early dining and wanted to eat later that night?
2) What happens if I choose anytime dining, and want to eat during early/late dining hours?
From what i understand the only advantage of traditional over anytime is you have a reserved seat over waiting for a table ( how long is the wait anyway)..and you get the same server every night (which could end up being bad if you end up with a bad server). Any thoughts opinions etc?

I am going on a cruise in 10 days and today is the last day to purchase excursions in advance. Does anyone have any experience with this? How much more expensive are they if you wait until you're on the ship? (Royal Caribbean)

I am going on a Royal Caribbean cruise next month, and I already pre-paid for the tipping.

It was $58.50 per person.

Does that mean that I won't be charged the extra 15% on drinks?

Thanks!

My husband and I are planning a cruise this summer for our 15'th anniversary. We are leaving our 5 children with grandparents. We are looking for a good 7 night cruise. We want something fun yet classy...also sunny. We have done 2 Carnivals (fun, but a little to "neon"), 1 Royal Car. & 2 Disney (LOVED Disney, but no children this time). We are tired of the Bahamas and really of the Caribbean cruises as well. We are considering Celebrity's JOURNEY from NJ to Bermuda, but the ship is smaller than most and we wonder if there will be as much to do. Any suggestions? Thanks a bunch!

Looking for some help / opinions on what is a good cruise line / boat for an Alaskan Cruise? I am looking at taking my wife on one for our 10th anniversary. We both have never been on a cruiseand are in our 30s, so looking for one that we has some fun activites on it and not just play shuffleboard all day. Along with that, not looking for a fancy cruise (don't want to have to pack a coat and tie) - it is vacation!
I know there are a lot of questions here, but any guidence would be much appreciated.

My brother in law is 21 and marrying a girl who is 19. They want to go on a cruise for their honeymoon but all the policies say that if you are under 21 you need to be accompanied by someone older than 25. Is she not going to be allowed to go on the cruise or will they make an exception since she is married and accompanied by her husband?

So my family finally booked an Alaska cruise for this summer...Yay! Anyway, we are very interested in the Husky Dog Sled Camps and possibly combo/seperate glacier viewing helicopter ride (if we can afford it). I noticed that both Juneau and Skagway offer similar excursions. Pricing is about the same (I noticed the Dog Sled camp is a little cheaper per person for Skagway though).
Just curious if anyone would recommend one over the other for the glacier helicopter ride and/or Dog Sled Camp...or is it perhaps over-hyped? Thanks a bunch.

The cruise goes to San Juan, ST. Thomas, and British Virgin Islands. Since the excursions can be very pricy I want to get my money worth.

We have two people with us over 21 approving of us drinking. We are going to Bahama's and want to enjoy the time, NOT get piss drunk but experience it. We wll be 21 this year, but not in time. Anyone accomplished this? They are willing to buy the drinks for us, but do they really regulate that and spy on everyone?
