Q: Where does it go?

A: It leaves from Seattle, Washington on Friday, August 14th 2026 and goes to Ketchikan, Endicott Arm (cruise by to see glaciers), Juneau, Skagway, Victoria and back to Seattle, Washington on Friday, August 21st 2026. 

 

Q: What Is included?

A: Room for 7 nights, 24/7 food, classic drink package, basic wifi, taxes, fees, gratuities, crochet workshops, daily Sit-n-Stitch at Sea, and swag bag are all included!

 

Q: What excursions are included?

A: None. We may put together some fun excursions, but they will be at an additional cost. You will be given directions to each yarn shop if you would like to visit on your own. We found going as a big group was very overwhelming for the yarn shops...so it's better to spread it out a bit and let you go at your own time.

Q: Who will be teaching the workshops?

A: We are thrilled to announce that Jacki Donhou from Dear Jacki Stitchery and Elena Marquez of Towerlocked Designs (and yes, the one that works at A Little Knitty) will be teaching workshops while we are at sea!!

 

Q: Will there be classes every day?

A: We will split the large group in half. On Day 2 half will take the workshop with Jacki and half will take the workshop with Elena...then on Day 6 we will swap and the groups will do the class they didn't do on Day 2!!  

 

Q: Will we always be a group?

A: No! Although we will announce where we will be for some meals, you are not required to join us if you want to do your own thing or sleep in or go to bed early! We do encourage you to join us for our meet & greet the first day to get all the information and meet everyone in our group (please bring significant others too!! It's nice to put a face and name to each of you!) We also encourage you to attend any group meals we announce and our farewell party. We highly recommend breaking off into smaller groups if that feels more comfortable...this is YOUR vacation, we are here to enhance it! 

 

Q: What are the other costs?

A: The only other costs you will see are if you spend any money off the ship, purchase things on the ship (we will have some pop up shops with yarnie vendors!), gambling or extra excursions. If none of that stuff interests you...there will be NO other charges than your initial charge

 

Q: What is included in the Classic Beverage Package?

A: All sodas, juices and alcoholic beverages up to $10. You want a fancier drink? You just pay the difference. You can upgrade to the more expensive drink package if you would like!

 

Q: Is this just for crochet?

A: The core projects are crochet, but we welcome knitters who want to up their crocheting game. We recommend you know how to chain, single crochet and double crochet. At our Sit-n-Stitches both crafts are welcome!!

 

Q: What should I bring?

A: This is a multi-part answer!

 

   #1. Clothes 

                - A Light Jacket that is water resistant with a hood or consider bringing an umbrella.

                - A swim suit if you want to visit the indoor pool or hot tubs (we can figure out how to crochet in the pool!)

                - 1 or 2 dressy dresses/outfits. There are 2 dressy nights, they aren't super fancy but do require more than t-shirts and shorts! If you don't dig the idea of dressing up there are other dinner options like the buffet that don't require it!

                - Comfortable walking shoes (we do a LOT of walking around the ship and on port days).

                - YOUR CROCHET WEAR!!! No better time to show off than with yarnies who geek out about what you geek out about!!!

                - Plan to wear layers. The weather can be unpredictable, plan for the unexpected.

                - Don't be afraid to repeat outfits...sometimes it feels like you wear one thing to breakfast (my jammies, not gonna lie) another thing to lunch (t-shirt and jeans) and another to dinner (fancy dress) so go ahead and repeat things...it's not like you wore it very long

                - If you need to know the rules on how many bags you can have, check out the Celebrity website! 

   #2. Other Random Things

                - Stuff to decorate your door! Door Decorating is super fun to do (all you need are some magnets or maybe a white board??) it's also a nice way to find your room when you have had a drink or two! This is NOT mandatory...just fun!

                - No need to bring a hair dryer (they supply one), but you'll want to bring anything else that you use on the daily that might include makeup, hairspray and whatever else you need to survive!

 

Q: Besides the above, what should I bring?

A: My cruise essentials bag includes the following:

- binoculars

- spray wrinkle release (for clothes, not my face)

- antihistamines

- pain relievers

- tums

- melatonin

- motion sickness patches/Pills/Wristbands

- magnetic hooks (the walls are magnetic, which makes these awesome)

- a plastic rain poncho

- Band-Aids

- extra medications I take just in case

- Toilet spray (everyone poops)

- pharmacy items on the boat are kinda expensive!!! there is a shuttle to walmart in Ketchikan if you need it!

 

Q: Is there anything I shouldn't pack?

A: Irons, steamers, extension cords, drugs, weapons, hard alcohol (you are allowed to bring a bottle of wine, see the Celebrity website for more details on that one!)

Q: What are we crocheting in the workshop? I don't like surprises

A: We can't tell you everything, but it will be an amigurumi and something you can wear. We will give you the exact supply list as we get closer. Don't worry, we got you!!

 

Q: Can I bring extra projects?

A: Yes! We suggest 1 project that you can do while talking/drinking, and maybe another just in case!!  And don't panic, we will have pop-up shops ON the ship and you can visit 4 yarn shops in ports...you will be ok if you bring 1 small project with ya! But we fully understand the need to pack 12 projects for a 2 day trip! Do what is best for you!

 

Q: Can I bring a significant other/family member?

A: Yes! You can bring as many people as you would like. If you want to get a quote for more than 2 people in a room, just let us know! There may be special events set up for non-knitting companions, but we will announce those on the cruise. Non-knitting companions will find LOTS of fun things to do around the ship!!

 

Q: I am traveling alone, but want a roommate...can I do that?

A: Yes! We can match you up with someone! Just let us know!

 

Q: I have a special diet, what do I do?

A: Just let Mara at the travel agency know! Every restaurant has such a great selection of foods, even if you have restrictions you will find something you like!!

 

Q: What if I don't drink?

A: You don't have to drink alcohol at all. The Classic Beverage package covers sodas and juices too! We do ask if you are drinking that you make good decisions and know your limit!

 

Q: What if I prefer to avoid getting up early or staying up late to go to events?

A: We understand! You aren't required to attend and we welcome you to take some quiet time or break off into smaller groups and enjoy something you like (the cruise ship has SO many activities like trivia, karaoke, exercise classes and more...it's awesome to grab some new fiber friends and give something a try!) Impromptu SIt-n-Stitches all over the boat are encouraged!! 

 

Q: What dinning option should I pick?

A: We picked the early 6pm dining so that we can go to the show that is later in the evening. Our tables might not be right next to each other, but we will try to make that happen if you pick the 6pm time as well. This boat doesn't have one big Main Dining Room, but various different restaurants that each have a distinct menu PLUS they share the same main menu. It's a pretty cool set up!

 

Q: I have to have a CPAP, what do I do?

A: Carry it on and request distilled water from your room steward

 

Q: Will we have a call or anything before the cruise?

A: Yes! We will host an informational zoom meeting a couple months before the cruise as well as start a FB Group for us to chat. We will also host a CAL! PLEASE be patient as all of this will NOT be announced the first week but WILL be given to you in time!

Q: Do I need a passport

A: A passport is STRONGLY encouraged! You can use an Enhanced Drivers License, but technically if you were in Canada and needed to be flown anywhere...you would need a passport to do that. Since we do have a port stop in Canada, the travel advisor advises a Passport.
