I used it several weeks ago and it was awesome! My bags were back home before I was. Also, there is a line where you can tell them where you are eligible for a waiver of bag fees.

I had this issue when using a casino fare. Had to call my PVP who got me a better fare and $200 OBC to add it.

My niece found 9 on Discovery Princess. We hid 20. I think she liked hiding them better than finding them. When we would hide them she always rewarded the people who washed their hands in the buffet with ducks-haha!

We left 4 in Ketchikan on Discovery Princess two weeks ago.

These are good cozy mysteries: Alaskan Diner Mysteries https://www.amazon.com/Mousse-Murder-Alaskan-Diner-Mystery-ebook/dp/B07WCZPZY7/ref=sr_1_1?crid=1BGFP2DAB8GNY&keywords=alaskan+diner+mysteries&qid=1686180719&sprefix=Alaskan+diner%2Caps%2C150&sr=8-1 Alaska Mysteries by Sue Henry https://www.amazon.com/Murder-Iditarod-Trail-Alaskan-Mystery-ebook/dp/B00S541EVM/ref=sr_1_1?crid=K67FYRPZZDXK&keywords=sue+henry+alaska+mystery+series&qid=1686180847&sprefix=Sue+henr%2Caps%2C162&sr=8-1 Maxie and Stretch Mysteries by Sue Henry https://www.amazon.com/Serpents-Trail-Maxie-Stretch-Mystery-ebook/dp/B002DQDO7K?ref_=ast_author_dp

We did something new in Juneau. The Alaskan Brewing Company has opened a restaurant next to their gear store. You can try their beers and eat a snack, we shared the appetizer plate with bbq salmon, brisket, wild boar burnt ends, and reindeer sausage, it was delicious! The adults also tried the beer!

Totem Bight was awesome. We initially wanted to use the shuttle bus but the lines were long and people were having to stand on the bus- the ride is approximately 20 minutes. We hired a cab at $100/hour and went to Totem Bight, Wal Mart (niece forgot her rain boots), and Creek Street. It was nice and we learned quite a bit about Ketchikan. The Totem Bight gift shop is local and has lots of affordable, indigenous art! It also has one room museum that was interesting. WalMart also has great t-shirts, bags, and gloves/hats/scarves!

We had to wait in line for about 20 minutes but it was worth it, pro tip- don’t wait in the line coming out of the port where they tell you where to go- walk around the Stanton’s to Parking Space R. It will get you through much faster than waiting for all of the people who don’t know where they are going! It took us less than 20 minutes to leave the port. We originally planned to only use service to the pier. Once we got there, we changed our minds. The lines for cabs for those embarking were crazy and the Uber/Lyft drop off was quite a walk. We literally were dropped off, walked in, went into Platinum/Elite area and boarded around 11. No waits anywhere. we did have an issue with a port worker denying entry into Platinum/Elite area because the sign said Elite. I made him ask a supervisor. We got in.

This is most definitely the way to go!

I know this isn’t your ship…… On embarkation in Seattle for Discovery Princess * No wine table * No one taking water/soda bottles

They had MOOSE Races in the piazza on Discovery last week.

I book with my cruise planner.

Just of the Discovery. Ate in Crown Grill with 4 different entrees. The beef was awful and it took over 2 hours. The beef tenderloin in the final night and in 360 were much better, or course the 360 beef was sublime. I will not eat in Crown Grill again- even if it is free.

It also shows ‘a gift from Princess cruises’ on many items when booked through Princess.

It was Ketchikan and it was real. Leaving today. If I find it I will report back!

You seem like an expert. When we went in 2007, we went to a shop off the beaten path that had a full, stuffed moose. Do you know where that was and if it is still there? I’ve searched and searched and come up empty,

I’m so much more careful solo!

Yes! We’re you there?

I kind of like it. First world problems. Who knew a dessert could get everyone so riled up? It is right up there with formal nights, smoking, and Share!

I was onboard when Tyra Banks promoted the ice cream. We all got a free cup. It was good but has these little sugar candies in them. It was a surprise- I thought I had broken a tooth! It’s good, but nothing I would seek out.

It’s really not a red cake. It’s red cocoa spray- which has been all the rage. It’s definitely not cheap. If you like raspberries and chocolate, you will like this.

We are taking ducks on Discovery next Sunday. My niece is so thrilled! She can’t wait to hide them.

Thank you so much for sharing! Can’t wait to visit her again.

You can also have continental breakfast delivered to your room. If you are in a Suite, you can have full breakfast delivered.

I had to pour out a coffee once, but I have taken unopened water bottles off with no problem. I think the big no-no’s are meats, fruits, etc because of agricultural laws.
