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!

I haven't done it yet but most have said it shows up about 11 days ahead of time.

No - everyone is given the same boarding window. I hope this helps!

I actually did it by mistake. I was just trying to see if it would work and before I knew it I had made a reservation. I immediately cancelled it but I saw the charge hit my credit card and then I saw that it had been removed.

I couldn't make dining reservations in the app on my phone until I made my final payment but I was able to make them using the "web version" of the app that is in cruise personalizer on the Princess website before I made final payment. This is only my second Princess cruise and I am only in a balcony cabin so I shouldn't have been able to make my reservations but I did. Probably, another bug but it worked for me!

There isn't that big of a difference but if you can get starboard I would do it. You will have more land views. Especially if you are going farther north then Glacier Bay. I hope this helps!

Keep your cabin. We cruised with my 95 year old father in an accessible cabin. At the time he could walk with a walker but we rented a wheelchair for the trip. He used the walker in the cabin but we used the wheelchair anywhere else on the ship and when we left the ship. The accesible bathroom was amazing. Regular cabin bathrooms just don't have the room needed for someone with mobility issues. Enjoy your cruise!

I didn't think the price was bad. Some people have found used copies on line cheaper. I wish you could order them from Princess so you could read them ahead of time.

Correct, those ports aren't in the book.

You can order your medallion once you have completed the checkin items you just will not be able to have it mailed. You will pick it up at the pier. I hope this helps!

Around $20

Luckily, I have found ways to make things work without contacting "customer service". Just a thought on your medallions - if you have time - we had good luck ordering our medallions using the "web version" of the app that is in cruise personalizer on the Princess website. The app on my phone says that I still have to order my medallions but our order shows up correctly in the "web version". If your order is not correct in the "web version" you can cancel it and try again. I hope this helps!

Princess and HAL have cruised Alaska the longest so they tend to have better itineraries and longer port stays. Haven't done HAL but we did Princess and thought it was wonderful. Very Alaska focused. They have a naturalist on board that does presentations during the week and points out things along the way. While you are in Glacier Bay they bring Park Rangers on board to narrate what you are seeing. If you have a National Park Passport book you can get it stamped. They sell a 300 page book that comes with a map that follows the route your ship will take and it highlights good places to see wildlife and other points of interest that you will see between the ports. I hope this helps!

I also have to use my booking number. My username and password have not worked on the app or the website for months. I have called twice and they tell me they will open a ticket and someone will get back to me but i have never heard back from anyone.

Thanks for the help! I'm sure one of these will work for us!

If I was you I would book through NCL or I would just go to town and do the walking tour and I would plan to catch one of the earlier shuttles back. I have heard where the shuttles fill up and you have to wait for a later one. I hope this helps!

True - the latest he has ever showed up is July 22 - we will be there on July 21 so I hope he is a little early!

Same - I have been watching since 2016! When I saw this cruisetour I knew I had to do it! I sure hope Otis shows up again this year!

Did you try to log in using your booking number? I couldn't do it with userid and password but booking number works. I was able to do it before I was paid in full. I hope this helps!

We are doing the same cruisetour in July. I can't wait!
