If it's OBC that you receive before boarding (using a FCC, shareholder credit) you can use it to pay before the cruise. If it's OBC that you receive once you board (TA gift, casino, etc) you can't use it until you board the ship.

Princess no longer has the link on their website for the emed test. You must go to the emed site and you no longer get free shipping. I guess since it's Canada who is requiring it and not Princess, that would be their reason. Sorta stinks.

Yes, one dining room would be great. I feel bad for the wait staff as if you don't have the same waiter every night, you probably aren't tipping them...so they lose money. I think that's why if the price is right, I stick to Club Class.

They haven't done much of this since the end of the pause. The lotion in the big bottle in your bathroom was the same lotion that used to come in the elite bag. The wifi is mostly because of the location, it was fine on my caribbean, mexico and California Coastal( 2 of which were on the Discovery) prior to Alaska. Most of us are just happy to be cruising again. That all being said, I thought the food on the Ruby last week was much better than on the Discovery last spring.

I got off the Ruby on Sunday. No one looked at my ArriveCan on the ship or entering Canada. In fact, I don't think they even looked at my negative results, just my vaccination card.

Last night... sitting in Skywalkers doing happy hour. The weather was perfect, we enjoyed Prince Rupert (even bought some art to ship home), the food was very good, didn't do much of the entertainment stuff, casino finally paid off a little bit on the last day. This was a very nice cruise.

A picture perfect day in Ketchikan. Wandered, shopped, took pictures and ate fish and chips. Now I need a nap.

My husband and I are doing that cruise. It's the latest we've done so curious to see how things are. We've never done Glacier Bay and it looks amazing. Hope to see you on board.

Another beautiful day in Skagway. Last time I did Alaska it rained every day so I'm really enjoying it. We did the White Pass Summit train. Then after a very good lunch with some really good beer at the Skagway Brewing Company. Then shopping. Got my husband a Hawaiian type shirt covered with crabs. Then an early night since we had to get up early for the Tracy Arm this morning. I brought an old friend with me who has never cruised before and she's loving it.

Yesterday was Juneau. 73 and sunny. Perfect day to go whale watching. We didn't have time to do anything else as we were only there from 3-9. They said there was a chance we could see the northern lights last night... we sat on our balcony drinking wine and while we saw a lot of stars... nothing glowed.

I have no idea.. seems full

Day 2. It's been lovely. Got an email from Princess pushing back embarkation by an hour. Got to Pier 27 about 11:00... line moved fast. Had to wait in the PES lounge about 10 minutes and we were on board a little after 12. Food has been excellent, have had many lovely conversations while sharing tables in the MDR. Went out first round in the slot tournament and the casino has been packed. Going to hit up the PES happy hour tonight for the first time in many a cruise and then formal night. Tomorrow..whale watching in Juneau.

Nah. I just got the shareholders credit for a cruise in September 2023. Casino cruise.

It's not 48 hours, it's 2 days. There is a difference.

When I had Covid, I never tested positive on an antigen test. I wanted to know for sure so I went to the doctor for a PCR that came back positive. I was sick for 2 weeks and no positive so yes, it's a crap shoot.

Often, you don't get the actual credit until you board the ship. Not always, I've had it go both ways.

From another site

I"m on a cruise in October that stops in Canada. Testing is still required after September 6.

How would they know what time you board? hmmm

There are New England Canada cruises that go through October

Next week I have a west coast Canada and in October an east coast Canada. I obviously have to test for the first one and I am expecting that I will for the 2nd

sure

6 days here
