Surprised at how inexpensive jackets/sweatshirts are in Ketchikan and Juneau.  They SEEM good quality.

The desserts in International Cafe (monkey bread at 7 am) and Horizon Court are AWESOME!  REAL whipped cream.

NO luck posting/uploading today!  🤬

Celine, I’m in B630.  Could you give me a call?

Arriving in Juneau.

Dinner at Crown Grill was outstanding.  Food was hot, delicious and served by professional, friendly staff.

Captain announced 1107 guests on board; capacity is 2600.

The Horizon buffet is FREEZING cold with staff and guests wearing winter coats.  🥶

Since we are already on board???????

Request wheelchair assistance. You will be fast tracked through…

Thank you SO MUCH ceilidh1!  The lines weren’t bad when we arrived at 1 but there is so much retracing steps going from check in to security to customs I would definitely have had issues.  Staff were all wonderful.

Or get it back though the casino the last night.

Just read a post where the casino was closed on the last night without any advance notice so, something to be aware of.

We sail on the Grand tomorrow.  I have to use a cane IF I’ll be standing around for a long time or have to walk a distance and, since it’s a “3 ship hurricane day, that sounds very possible.  Is there seating where I might go and hubby lines up?  We have NEXUS so, hopefully, that helps.

Checking out Verifly, it appears not all cruise lines use this.  We’re sailing Princess Wednesday and they are not listed.  😢

@mrsskyhook and her hubby also did us all a great service by providing lots of useful information.

Tried doing a search, but nothing recent popped up... Is there a list of movies currently playing on MUTS for the month of May

They are all listed on the JourneyView timeline on your Medallion app.

Why would you hide things? Are you talking about valuables? I can assure you that the room stewards would never take anything. I have left jewelry, cash and credit cards laying around and it is always carefully left within plain view. If I rush out and leave my makeup in a mess it is neatly arranged when I return. Clothes are folded and sunglasses are neatly stacked on the book by my bed. There is a safe in the room for anything you want to keep secure - we only ever use it to store our passports so we know where they are at all times. 

Totally disagree with the statement that the room steward would NEVER take anything. The safe is there for a reason and once, on a Celebrity cruise, I left my tanzanite and diamond dinner ring on the desk.  It was a few days before I noticed it was gone, admitted it was my fault for not putting it in the safe, and asked the room steward to do a thorough search in case it had fallen behind something.  No luck.  Security got involved and the cabin was searched top to bottom.  The ring was found inside a Bernard Passman bag.  However, that bag was only brought onto the ship DAYS AFTER the ring went missing.  We assume he stashed it once he realized an official investigation was going to take place.

I hope someone does a total review of this cruise.   I have friends that got off on Sat and have said that the entertainment was awful and every night they had to send food back from the dining room because it was wrong.   They weren't happy with this cruise.

I have followed this thread and, as with everything in life, you can’t please all the people all the time.

hunt182644 has left the building so let’s end this discussion.

New version available today so, if you’ve already downloaded the app, be sure to update.

I hope you are feeling better now???  We developed nasty coughs overnight, and suspect we will see that same nasty stripe soon

 

I certainly hope not!  Thanks so much for your posts.

The Grand Princess was YELLOW, according to the CDC Dashboard, which makes sense since it was in dry dock with no passengers.  Effective May 12th, just ONE DAY after embarkation, it was elevated to ORANGE with a notation that the CDC is investigating.  I really find this hard to believe.  Am I missing something?

We board May 25th.

Just wondering, if the wifi is as bad as reported, how are the helpful cruisers posting “live from” managing?  🤷🏼‍♀️

My shore excursions are NOT listed.  It shows only the general on board activities I have selected.

Alfredo’s is always open for a nice relaxing  lunch on embarkation day but, again, none of the staff want to tell you and it’s not listed on the information provided.

We dined at the Crown Grill last night. Really a disappointing meal. Lyle enjoyed his scallop appetiser, but his rib eye steak was luke warm. His side dishes of mushrooms and fries were fridge cold. I ordered the lobster tail and baked potato. Both were very overcooked. That poor potato must have been in the oven for a couple days!  That bring said, many have reported that the filet is fabulous.

Why didn’t you send the food back?  Being served cold food, even if we weren’t paying a surcharge, is not acceptable.
