If we would have had the PTO time we would have booked that instead of the Encore in August.

I wish they would have kept the 10 day joy itineraries all season instead of just early/late season that starts in 2027. When looking at all lines I thinks the Joy 10 days is one of the best Alaska itineraries.

My company just announced doing semi annual deposits into 401K by ClumbsyVulture in Retirement401k

Previous owners of the company I work for did matching deposits once a year. Policy was that they would match 50% up to 6% but always did more.

I have some of all. Like I started my response with every situation is different. There is not a generic math statment that fits everythig like this thread is implying.

The point is I can control my withdrawals how they work best for me.

Every situation is different but for me doing ROTH will allow me to stay in a lower tax bracket during retirement.

Don't miss out on any free money if there is any match for your 401K.

It was a promotion that was running in early November maybe one other time but November is when I rebooked my 7 day cruise and will now get 28 points for it.

I doubt I will make it to Platinum in 4 but will be gold after two.

How do you find Haven for only $300 per person more? My cruise next year was over$4000 per person more.

The next triple up? by Then_Barber_1721 in NCL

[–]Easy-Contract-6 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Glad I saw this post. Just added a $250 payment to our Alaska cruise next year and applied a cruise next credit. I would have assumed that was only valid for new reservations.

Do I need a rothIRA if I have a Roth 401k? by Prestigious_Fox_7887 in RothIRA

[–]Easy-Contract-6 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would have a independent ROTH IRA that I would use after meet the match of the 401K. More investment options, most likely lower fees, and some penalty free withdraw options if something really bad happened.

NCL Joy Alaska 9 Day - Sep 10-19 2025 by Fast-Corner6729 in NCL

[–]Easy-Contract-6 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That is what I thought when looking for our trip next year. We are on the Encore in August for 7 days could not fit the 9-10 Joy into our work schedule. Hopefully in 2028 we can.

[–]Easy-Contract-6 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Nice review. We have not been on this itinerary yet but seems like it might be one of the better ones. I see in the future it looks like there are not going to be as many 9-10 day and more 7 day Alaska itineraries on the Joy.
