Thank you! I have heard of Snow City Cafe. They were talking about Gwennies which is not walking distance from the Captain Cook.

We will probably just eat close to the Captain Cook. A friend had told us about a place that they really liked but I just learned they are only open for breakfast and lunch. Probably won't want to commute that early in the day. Any suggestions of places close to the Captain Cook?

We are staying at the Captain Cook.

Thanks - which would be the easiest to use? Should I just ask at the hotel desk?

I do everything in the "web version" of the app that is in cruise personalizer on the Princess website and I haven't had any of the glitches encountered with the Princess app. As others have said, you can get all of your medallions programmed to access both cabins once you get on board. I hope this helps!

We will be in Anchorage for a couple of days after our cruise. If we want to go to dinner someplace that is too far to walk what would you recommend? We have never used a taxi, Uber or Lyft so not sure if any of these are doable. Thanks!

No plans for it to be fixed this year per the Mayor of Skagway.

Another positive - you have a better chance to see the northern lights!

Nope - they don't have to physically have the medallion to reprogram the cabin assignment.

Claalaska.com will tell you what dock your ship will be at. Be aware in Skagway if you are at RRF you will be tendered to shore and if you are at RRA you will ride a shuttle. This is because of the land slide there a couple of years ago. This is still in place fir the 2024 season but it may be corrected in future seasons. I hope this helps!

There will be three ships and over 7,000 people the day we board in Vancouver. I am expecting chaos. If we don't have it I will be pleasantly surprised!

The main dining room procedures are changing for all cruises starting the week you cruise. You won't be able to make reservations until 6/17. With the new process there will be one dining room that will have the old early/late dining times, one that will take reservations, and one that will be walk in. I hope this helps!

It will be awhile before they load all of the entertainment. In fact, some things may not show up until you are on board. I hope this helps!

I have had much better luck using the "web version" of the app that is in cruise personalizer on the Princess website. I have been able to do everything in there when nothing worked in the app. i don't plan to log into the app again until I get on the ship. I have attached a screen shot that shows how to get to the "web version" if you want to give it a try. I hope this helps!

Princess and HAL have cruised Alaska the longest so they tend to have the best itineraries and longest port stays.

Are you in 1 or 2 cabins? The first 2 in each cabin must have the same fare package. Plus is still a good deal if you are paying crew appreciation ($16-$18) and WIFI ($25). If you add a classic soda package ($18) you are at $59 and the Plus fare is $60. I hope this helps!

Truth!!! I wish I had a dollar for every time I have posted about it! I could take another cruise! LOL

This section of your Travel Summary would be exactly the same if you had booked directly with Princess. Your Travel Agent is not "booking everything under the package seperately" so they are not "benefitting". This is just how Princess reflects the "value" of the items included in the package. I hope this helps!

Also looks like no snow crab either.

FYI -

Getting crab in Alaska could be a challenge this year.

I had the same problem when I tried to order our medallions on the app on my phone. We were able to order them with no problem using the "web version" of the app that is in cruise personalizer on the Princess website. I have attached a screen shot that shows how to get to the "web version" in cruise personalizer if you want to give it a try. I hope this helps!

Breakfast hangtag

There is no coffee only package. I've never had mini fridge items so I don't have that answer.

This map shows the sea day. Royal will be on the red line that is coming in from the left of Vancouver Island and then curves right to join the black line that the smaller ships take. You can see Ketchikan at the top of the map. The islands of Haida Gwaii that will be on the port side are referred to as "the Galapagos of the North in recognition of the unique assemblages of plants and animals found here". I hope this helps!
