Hi Getowoman, thank you, that's what I wanted to know. Perfect! So I don't need to actually rush on the ship for the appts. I can board and go directly to the spa and then restos. For the 6 nights (I'm eating dinner in Juneau) any resto will work for me, so I'm open and very flexable as to what's available. For the spa, I know what days I want them (sea days and the half day after Sitka) and I've seen the spa menu from the Mariner so I already know what treatments I want.

May want some extra hair appts after shore excursions but not worried about that either. Just want to fill up the time for the sea days.

BTW, my husband loves those pictures, if he can get two like that he will be one very happy traveller.

I see you are going on the one after me, have a wonderful safe trip.

thanks again
