We will be taking the excursion off the cruise ship to Hubbard Glacier in June.  Did the vendor cancel because of bad weather?  We have had this trip cancelled 2 times on past cruises --  thought we would try one more time this June.  Have heard nothing yet so assuming it is still a go for us.

All we got was a email from Princess starting it was canceled  about 2 months ago due to vendor.   I think the vendor  maybe was not able to get access to location  until after our cruise

Were masks required or was it a personal choice.

For the train  is was required by Princess.   As for the cruise, personal choice.   We have notice about 65% of passengers are wearing mask on board.

Wondering. Where did you get the info about most traveled passenger's number of days? No cocktail party listed until May 10th

Since I have been to one, 2016, I just go and asked.  Checking to see if we are close enough.  Need to sail more.

Nightlights 

With Royal Princess  you have 3 motion detected lights that come on.  By each nightstand on floor and the hallway  by closet and bathroom. Not able to turn off light,  last about 5 minutes 

Laundry is taking about 1 day.

Most travel passengers was 400 or more days.  

Dinner menu 

Here is how the elite bathroom supplies looked like when you get into your room.  

Alfredo for lunch.   Gluten free pizza.   You don't  have to request the day before 

Just a quick update on rooms.  There is no USB port  near the bed.  The lamps  do not have the ports.  Only 2 electricity outlets  in room on desk. 

I will post a picture  of the upgrade  elite  bathroom supplies.

To switch  out mini bar.  You talk to your cabin stewards.

Wulfwyn,    Thanks for posting the pictures.   

 

I have been looking forward to doing the White Pass train excursion for three years but there is so much confusion about it.    Reports are all different and many say the train is canceled yet Princess still has all of their excursions listed.        Which one did you do?   I would prefer to do the train in both directions.  We loved dogs but have stopped at the kennels before.   Same with gold panning.

 

Were you happy with the excursion?    

Train is only to summit.  No trains  are crossing the boarder.  

We did the Sled Dogs, Panning for Gold and train.  You have a costume  guide for the excursion.   It was wonderful.   Would highly  recommend  this excursion.  On train was a private car.

Today was Skagway.   Has 2 ships in port.  Took train to summit.  Saw sled dogs and puppies.  Weather, cloudy, rain, snow and blue sky

Patter day 5

As too what excursions that were canceled.   First one was less than 2 months ago.  It was the one for Hubbard Glacier.   Get off big ship for a smaller  ship.  It was something  with vendor.  

2nd  one was the Mendenhall Glacier Hiking.   Cancel due to vendor.  

Also found out due to some of the tours in Juneau were canceled  due to not enough passengers  booking  them.  So for Juneau we changed  to Alaska  whales & mendenhall Glacier trail  small group, then they got changed  to arriving a hour late into Juneau .  So we ended  up changing to whale watching &wildlife quest by Allen  family. 

Arrived a hourl late in Juneau  due to rough seas.  All ship excursions  were updated  to new times and some were canceled.   We had to change  our excursion  due to timing.  Ended up  with a whale watching and did see whales.   We only had less than 50 people on excursion. 

Service is improving.

Patter day 4

Rough seas today.  As for the dining experience  so far.  Mind you this is the first cruise.  Slow.  Waiting  on water.   Orders not correct.   Food under cooked.   Example  ordered Moscow mule, got milk.  Yes milk.  

Order fettuccine pasta  (gluten  free). Pasta crunchy.  Yes I did have a word with the head waiters about it.

Thanks for posting the patter   I can't make out anything.   Maybe you could try to retake the pictures.     Tried to zoom in but can't read any of it.

Will try.  Rough waves

We have already had 2 excursions canceled  due to vendors operational issues.

Sea day lunch

The app is useless.   Not wanting to load.   

Day 1 and 2 of patter

Thanks for starting this live.  We are also on this cruise.  So I can give my opinion of this cruise. This is my 3rd cruise since restart. 2nd with princess.

Took princess shuttle  from Seattle  to Vancouver.   We arrived at pier about 1:30pm.  Line at security and customs.  It took us about 45 minutes from drop off to board. 

We are booked  in a deluxe balcony.   Ocean medallion app is slow on phone.  It takes time to load.  

I will try to post patter.  You have to go to passenger service for a copy of the patter. 

Due to weather,  there was no sail away celebration.  Raining.
