Here is an old report of our Connoisseur tour in Alaska,
It might answer many of your questions.
Thank You, that helped a lot. Ours is different, starting in Anchorage. Funny, my cousin that is thinking about joining us lives in League City.

Wondering if anyone has been on a Alaska Connoisseur Escorted Cruisetour. We have one planned for August 2024. Starting in Anchorage ending in Vancouver on the Sapphire Princess. What is the good and the bad of it?

I saved about $250 cancelling and rebooking 2 excursions yesterday. 2 excursions for 2 people, 4 excursions total. Not all are on sale.

The Eclipse is going to be in Vancouver from April 6, 2020 until April 12, 2020, for a short dry dock.

We're going to Alaska on the Eclipse in July. All ports we visit have late departures. 10 pm, 8 pm and 8:30 pm. Is the MDR serving dinner while we are in port.
Thanks

We were in 7206 on the Solstice in 2015 in Alaska. That is the 1st cabin on the rear of the front hump, starboard side. We really enjoyed the balcony, we had breakfast there on our trip up Tracey Arm.

Thanks everyone, I researched him, he looks excellent.

We're going to Alaska on the Eclipse in July 2020. Does anyone know if there will be a Naturalist on board and if so who it is. We were on the Solstice in 2015 and Brent Nixon was the Naturalist and was excellent, he usually had at least 1 presentation daily .

My friend went everyday on our last cruise. Most days there were only a few, and he led the meeting. Other days he was the only one.

Is there at Nature speaker on board. We were on the Solstice 4 years ago and Brett Nixon gave talks every day about Alaska.

In 2015 the Solstice had to tender every other week in Juneau, do to the number of ships in port. Didn''t really bother us much. Very short ride, we didn't have any plans except for the Mount Roberts Tramway.

4 years ago on the Solstice we had to tender in Juneau, would of rather docked.

I took the Solstice a few years back and taking the Eclipse to Alaska in September.
I think the most important distinction is that you are seeing Hubbard glacier on the Eclipse and Tracy Arm on the Solstice. I like both but most people think Hubbard is better.
I booked a whale watch and bear search at Icy Strait.
Have fun!
Let me know how September goes.

We've decided on the Eclipse, now we just need to wait for a good sale.
Thanks everyone for your input, it helped a lot.

We Flew with Michelle and Island Wings in 2015. I was acually in the co-pilot's seat, which your son would probably love They are very close to the dock, we could see it from our ship.

We're looking at Alaskan cruises in June 2020. We went to Alaska in 2015 on the Solstice and loved it. This time we are looking at both the Solstice and the Eclipse. Solstice leaves Seattle while the Eclipse leaves Vancouver. Itinerary's are the same except the Solstice goes to Skagway, and the Eclipse goes to Icy Strait Point. The price is almost the same, except Seattle is a little more in port fees.
We've never been to Vancouver and it looks like it's beautiful. We've never been to Icy Strait Point, but it looks like there is not much there.
We've been to Seattle, and there is a lot more there for us to see. We rode the train in Skagway last time, not sure if we would do it again.
Hotels are expensive in both cities and it looks like airfare to Vancouver would be a little more expensive.
Give me your thoughts and help us decide. Picture is from our 2015 trip

My Audiologist suggested Hearing Aid Socks, which I bought and totally solves the sweating problem. They make your aids a lot more visible, but it doesn't bother me. I think they are a little pricey for what they are. Here is a link, they have several sizes. https://www.amazon.com/Ear-Gear-Instrument-Protection-instruments/dp/B00EJTHX62/ref=sr_1_2_a_it?ie=UTF8&qid=1535763541&sr=8-2&keywords=hearing%2Baid%2Bsocks&th=1

Thank you for the link. I guess I never paid much attention to the outlets onboard. Do the ships supply in AC or DC? How are the circuits configured? Delta or WYE? If it's Delta, I am curious their reasons this? From the sounds of it, the danger isn't totally in the surge protectors but also in the ship's wiring, and more specifically, its grounding. However, if a surge protector will trip on either lead, rather than only on the hot lead, it could be deemed safe for use onboard. Though, I have never seen a surge protector advertise this information.
A lot of info in this post, most of it goes over my head. User named chengkp75 is a ship engineer and is VERY knowledgeable

I know exactly which device you are talking about as I have the same one with the swivel plug. I have never had an issue bringing it onboard before. I guess I will find out if it is an issue when I sail next April.
Can you explain why having a device with surge protection built in is considered dangerous?

I've got suite E730 booked on an Alaskan cruise next year, please tell me it's in a good location for Alaska. This will be our 1st time on Princess. My cousin has suite E733 booked, can you tell me if there is a hall, passageway between the 2.
Thanks
