If you bring your Senior citizen National Parks pass you can get into the Mendenhall visitors center at no cost. You can also use the Senior citizen National Parks pass at the Discovery Center in Ketchikan.

Here's some information for you https://scootaround.com/en/cruise-scooter-rentals

There’s a FREE shuttle bus that runs from Berth #4 over to the Creek street area and up to the Totem Heritage Center, but not out to Totem Bright state park. Here are a couple of links that might be of some interest. https://tomsportguides.com/uploads/5/8/5/4/58547429/ketchikan-02-26-2014.pdf https://www.visit-ketchikan.com/en/Getting-Around-Ketchikan/Ketchikan-Maps

Normally it's the first full sea day and the last full sea day. I wouldn't really say it's all that formal.

And where might your next destination be? You might be better off renting a car.

Your fare is a round trip ticket. How are you going to get back if they did have a one way fare.

Once I get on the ship what do I have to do to set up my phone for the shipboard Medallion Ap? I saw it here but now I can't find it.

We've been on 16 cruises to Alaska and we don't take gloves. We do take a warm hat.

My wife bought a beautiful silver whale tail at a small jewelry store in Skagway. She wears it often. On a side note the place to buy your souvenirs and such is in Ketchikan at the Tongus trading company.

In my past life I was a marine engineer and I find it very odd that these normally maintenance items where not addressed prior to the Crown being put back into service. It’s not like they just decided yesterday to put her back into service, they’ve had a lot of time to prepare.

I think that Crown Princess will limp along this cruise season. The Grand class cruise ships are all electric. The Grand class cruises ship are powered by four 12,600-KW diesel generators and two 8,400-KW generators, making a total of 67,200 installed KW, that’s a lot of power boy and girls. Propulsion, that’s what pushes the ship through the water is done with two electric engines, one per shaft, developing 21 MW each. Currently the Crown Princess is having generator issues. I do find it rather odd that they are calling these problems "routine, scheduled overhaul or scheduled maintenance"

I'm still glad we jumped ship and are going on the Discovery Princess. The $100 OBC and the 20% FCC is a nice gesture. I'll be following the Crown on her adventure. I think the ArriveCan is going to be a mess at Pier 91 as it seems that only people who know about ArriveCan are those of s on Cruise Critic. Our TA doesn't have a clue about it. I downloaded the Ap and I'm set to go.

In the area around the Mt. Roberts Tram there will be a lot of kiosks with vendors selling different tours. Look for the Blue bus kiosk, it's run by M & M tours. If you have a National parks pass bring it it'll save you $5.

You might want to contact M & M tours https://www.mmtoursofjuneau.com/land-tours they run the Blue bus out to Mendenhall Glacier. If any one in your group has a National Parks senior pass be sure to bring it, it should get you $5 off the bus ride. Another option would be to buy a ticket on the pier by the Mt. Roberts tram.

Fill out the ArriveCan a day or 2 before you get on the cruise ship in Seattle and you'll be good. There are reports that people were denied boarding in SF until they fill out the ArriveCan. Just have the receipt in your hand when you check in.

How much memory do I have to have on my phone for the Medallion App to work properly while I’m on my cruise? I have a Samsung S10 plus phone.

I wish they’d get a better selection of the mini bottles of alcohol. I swap all them out for vodka, because everything else is nasty. On our last cruise all they had was vodka, which was fine for me.

Airfare is the absolute killer these days. I'm glad we only live 45 minutes from the pier in Seattle and only have to pay $167.00 to park our car for the week, it went up this year from $147.00

Princess knew of these problems long before it was announced. We made all of our excursion plans and Princess springs this BS on us so most of our excursion plans are out the window. Stopping at Hoonah/Icy Point is like tossing a bone to your dog. What are you going to do for 3 hours in Hoonah? By the time you get off the ship it'll be time to get back on. I'm happy we could switch over to the Discovery. This will be our 18th cruise to Alaska.

Yes we got the same stateroom category, actually in a better location. The Discovery is filling up fast, it's almost sold out for the June 26th sailing. For some reason there were still a lot of open cabins on the Crown before this problem was announced. I think it must be the new ship thing that everyone wants to be on the Discovery.

We jumped ship on this one. I was able to cancel the Crown Princess and rebook on the Discovery the next day for about $500 less than the what the cruise on the Crown was going to be, also got a little more OBC. The Crown is on it's way up to Seattle, moving at a whopping 12.5kn or 10mph. She got problems.

She’s speeding along at a whopping 12.5kn or 10mph. I know one couple who won’t be on her this summer. We jumped ship and moved over to the Discovery.

Thanks I'll wait a day or 2

I’ve been dick’n around with this App for over 2 hours trying to get my new booking loaded and my old booking deleted. I was going on the Crown but after the latest round of problems we decided to jump ship and go on the Discovery. When I go into the App it shows us going on the Crown, but no cabin. I entered the new booking number, no go, deleted the App, reinstalled the App, entered the booking number again, no go. I was able to go online and fill out all the information, most of it was already there. You’d think it would be simple. Anyone got any answers?

It's all in the mix. They use the cheapest ice milk mix you can buy.
