Thanks. That's what I was looking for. It's surprising how early you can board with a 6 pm departure. My last cruise was a 4pm departure and the absolute earliest I could board was 11 am (or maybe 10? I'm going off memory)

To clarify, I don't plan to embark then disembark. I've been to Vancouver in the past, and I imagine I'll only want to sightsee for an hour or two in the morning and then get on the ship and explore the ship. It sounds like folks are thinking boarding might start by 11 AM, which is earlier than I expected.

How early will Princess let me board the ship if there's a 6PM sailaway from Vancouver. I'm trying to plan my day. I might explore Vancouver a bit, but I like to get on the ship as early as possible and explore.

I belive that you can book excursions in Junea from the docks. Does anyone have a sense of what's on offer and what the prices are? I want to wait until I get to Juneau to decide what I'm doing (if the weather's great, I'll go hiking, if it's raining, I'll see musuems, if I feel like it, I'll grab a tour). This is my fourth trip to Alaska, and probably not my last, so I'm not worried about missing out on a once in a lifetime experience. I'm just curious what my option are if I decide to wing it. I'll also be there in early June, and I suspect I don't have to worry about everything selling out.

Thank you! My OBC is coming directly from princess. Follow up question - will I be locked into the excursion? Or can I cancel? I've been on one other cruise (Holland), and they had a 48 hour cancellation option.

I'm going on my first princess cruise this spring. I'm interested in a shore excursion, and I'm planning on paying for it with my OBC. Can I reserve my spot the excursion before I got? Or do I have to pre-pay? I don't want to pay for it now if I can use OBC.

Thank you so much! Are you seeing lines to get into the MDR?
