  1. The Pagoda Restaurant was featured on two Food Network programs. Takeout: Tastier at Home and Diners, Drive-Ins & Dives: A North Pole Christmas
  2. The Passenger Vessel Services Act (PVSA) requires that cruise ships sailing between two US ports stop at a foreign port at least once during the voyage. 1. Round trip cruises that start and end at the SAME US port must stop at a NEAR foreign port at least once during the voyage. "Near" ports include those in Canada, Mexico, Central America and the Caribbean. That’s why round trip Alaska cruises from Seattle stop in Victoria, BC on the way back, and round trip voyages from Los Angeles or San Francisco to Hawaii include a port stop in Mexico (usually Ensenada). 2. When the cruise starts in one US port and ends at ANOTHER US port, the ship must stop at a DISTANT (or far) foreign port at least once. The nearest “distant” foreign ports to the US are in South America. Trinidad & Tobago and the ABC islands - Aruba, Bonaire and Curaçao - lie on the Southern American Continental shelf and therefore, geographically speaking, are considered to be in South America and as such, qualify as DISTANT foreign ports.
  3. The "jungle park" is the Tree Top Adventure Park & Ropes Course. You can walk around on the ground below the course along a path through the trees. https://icystraitpoint.com/tour/adventure_park/
  4. Per the Princess event listings: World Fresh Marketplace - Afternoon Snack - 3:30-5:30
  5. And some engaged in some very long, over night conversations!
  6. 3 days so far... Trying to sign in with booking number. "Your information does not match our records. Please try again." Two calls to my TA, two calls to Princess, and an online chat with Princess to verify my information during the three days of trying. Verified booking #, birthdates, Captain's Circle numbers. Have a Travel Summary from Princess with all correct information. Have tried this using the web version with three different browsers, and the app on the phone - same errors. Hope they get this fixed so I can enter the required cruise documentation/passport info/etc. Cruise leaves soon.
  7. I verified birthdates and CC numbers with TA and Princess multiple times. No joy. Sorry, no loonie or toonie for you. 🙂

  9. The painted white rocks on the hillside might be Dahl Sheep!
  10. A fellow named Joe Upton wrote a book called "The Alaska Companion", similar to Cartwright's book. The website has some good maps too. https://www.thealaskacompanion.com/booksandmaps
  11. You can ask your cabin steward for an extension cord and distilled water when you board, but it’s better if you pre-order them. That way you’re sure they will be there waiting for you in your cabin when you board. Either way, it’s free of charge. To pre-order an extension cord and distilled water for a CPAP machine, go to the Princess website then click on “Booked Guests” at the top of the page. Log into your account using either your login credentials or your booking number. Once you’re logged in, click on “Access Cruise Personalizer”. Select “Check-In”, then scroll down to the “Guest Check-in Status” section. Click on “Dietary Requests”, and tick the box next to “Distilled water (for CPAP machine use ONLY)”. Then click on the “Send Dietary Restriction” button. Your distilled water and an approved extension cord will be waiting for you in your cabin when you board. If it’s not there, check with your room steward.
  12. Yes, there is no Costco in Hilo, but there is one in Kona on the Big Island.

  14. Have you called the Avis location in Hilo directly to verify?
