DuckFan04

Libby Riddles presentation was at 8 pm in the theater while in Juneau, and the puppies were in the piazza the afternoon we were in Skagway. There is so much going on each day, I suggest logging on to Princess at Sea once on board. You then have a digital copy of the Patter and are able to add each activity that you are interested in into a calendar. We would read the paper copy of the Patter each night and then add the activities to our calendar each morning when the digital copy was available for that day. Or take a highlighter and mark each thing on the paper copy then you are sure not to miss anything. Enjoy your cruise!

We did not see the Libby Riddle presentation, but did participate in the "Puppies in the Piazza". Took place during Skagway port around 3 pm, highly recommended. Photos with the puppies were quick, but you have ample time to enjoy the puppies afterwards.

How was your cruise DuckFan04? We sail July 1 on ruby! Can you tell me if you had two formal nights? If you went to any is a tie and button down shirt okay for men with no jacket? Any other info would be great! We are doing specialty dining also, if you did that can you also share! First cruise out of Seattle ....a few years ago we did one out of Vancouver and are hoping for better weather[emoji106]! Did people swim in the pool? Hope your trip was great!!

Our cruise was amazing, thank you for asking. We did have 2 formal nights, but chose to eat elsewhere on those nights. On previous formal nights in Alaska we saw everything from tuxedo's to track suits in the dining room (this was back in 2004) so this may have changed in the past 13 years :) We did not do specialty dining, but did speak to a couple that did the steak house and they loved it (but did comment that the food was cooked in butter making it rich, but very tasty). As for weather it's kinda hit and miss. Seattle was nice, our first sea day was very cold and rainy, Juneau and Skagway were sunny and comfortable (high 60's low 70's), Glacier Bay was beautiful but a little chilly, Ketchikan started off overcast then turned to a cold rain and wind (it was so nice to get back on the ship and into dry clothes!) the last sea day / Victoria was nice. There was always somebody in the pools even on the coldest days, even when the weather was nice, they were never overcrowded. Let me know if you have any other questions and I will be happy to help. Enjoy your cruise!

Here is the link to all of the Princess Patters from our Alaska cruise, hopefully it works, I'm not very computer savy :) Let me know if you have any questions and enjoy your cruise!

I would say 7:45, it was very quick with no line for customs. We just walked right up to the podium handed the agent our passports and were out the door. You could always do 8:am if you wanted a little cushion and don't mind waiting a few minutes.

what time was your flight out of SEA

Our flight was at 11:58am. We gathered in the Princess Theater at 7:30, walked off ship, went through customs at pier, grabbed a cab to airport and got through security in about an hour. Not sure if we got lucky and timed it just right, but it was much quicker than I anticipated.

We used this service on the Ruby (May 20th) with Alaska Airlines and it worked flawlessly. We did keep one small carry on bag with us for items used morning of disembarkation.
