Well I'm glad I checked the account. OBC was added but we were never notified. Oh well at least it's there and one less thing to worry about.

I sent my request July 8th. Thursday will be 5 weeks. I'm not sure if I should be trying to contact them at this point or not. We sail on the 26th so less than 3 weeks out.

3:30 local time. Pulling in now
Hope you enjoy Juneau. Was this your original arrival time at booking? We are sailing next month and it still shows 12:30 arrival time. If it is in fact 3:30, that means we'd miss our 2pm excursion. I haven't heard of any arrivals in Juneau earlier than 3.
Is Ketchikan officially off the Crown Princess itinerary with the dock issues? Or does it depend on how many ships in port?
Thanks for any info you can provide and enjoy your cruise!
-
Got an email about an itin change this morning but it was only that we are sailing from Seattle an hour earlier (3pm instead of 4pm). No changes to any of our port arrival/depart times, including Ketchikan. This is for the 8/27 sailing.

We were on last week as well. The ship is getting in a little later (used to dock while we were still sleeping), we docked around 8:15. We got off the ship just after 10am (carried our luggage off).
As Platinum, our boarding time was 1pm which was the earliest.

Was just there last week (oh how I missed that beach). The clamshells go down all the way to cabana 15 so you can still get away from the crowds. We had very few people down to our cabana #11.
Just so you know, the way the sun is there, the clamshell only provides about 50% of cover for most of the day. After 1pm or so, much of it is in the sun just with how it's facing the water.
-
Each person over 21 has to have the drink package per cabin. Maybe try to get a deal for Cheers that they seem to be handing out.

I noticed that as well but no I didnt see. My guess is no but I’ll see if I can find out.
Much appreciated. That will probably determine what we end up doing in Bimini.
-
@Steelers0854 Do you by any chance remember if there were bathrooms or other amenities at the free beach (stop #4)? It looks like there may be something to the left of the food truck in the pic but it's hard to be sure. TYIA

Thanks for the Bimini info which seems rather limited so far. We have the 360 beach excursion booked but may change that if there's a free beach with chairs and umbrellas along the tram route.

Thank you so much for the info and pics. We got a cabana so my 70+ year old parents could have some shade and a place to cool off. We usually like to get 14/15 but may settle for a little closer with less people. I'm very excited to be going back to HMC after several years.

I'm excited to see/hear how crowded (or hopefully not) HMC seems with limited capacity on an already small ship. We snagged a cabana for our sailing next week.
I know Cheers doesn't work on the island (for reasons I will not complain about here) but that they were offering a drink package on the island for around $30/pp. Can you confirm this is an option? TYIA and enjoy HMC!

I have enjoyed reading this. Thank you for taking the time to do it. We are on the Legend out of Baltimore on 11/21/21. This is making me more excited. I try to stay away from sugar/carbs for the most part. Have you seen any White Claw or Truly seltzers at any of the bars?
I'm assuming this is fleet wide (most brands are) and Truly is the only seltzer that was on another ship

Generally speaking, Carnival sticks to a policy of not separating families when this happens. If it is a concern for you, I'd ask at your muster station if they can swap one of you.
Going to have to do this on the Pride next weekend. My parents have the aft balcony next to us yet are a different muster station.

Looks like the gym might be the way to go to relax in a hot tub with the wife.

When your car pulls up (assuming around 12:40pm) show the guard the 1pm boarding pass but not the 1:30 and I think they will let you right in.
LOL, this is exactly what I was planning on doing 😆
-
I understand them wanting to be strict about boarding to keep things less crowded but I hope the fact that my wife and I have 1pm but my parents (who are in our group) have 1:30 won't be an issue for us showing up around 1.

Living this week vicariously through this thread. Can't wait for next week!

We board on the 26th with the same itinerary so can't wait to live it through your posts first. I'm really interested in seeing how the ship feels with limited capacity. The Pride has never really felt crowded to me anyway.
When did HMC excursions become available to you after your itinerary change? We're 9 days from sailing with no excursions available yet.
-
The buffet has never been great, not even sure it's been good. We have found ourselves going to the MDR less just because we had other things we wanted to do other than spend 1-2 hours sitting down for diner. The Deli has really stepped up the last few years with some solid sandwiches and daily specials. I also usually once a cruise grab a Guy's burger right before they close and take it to the room for a later diner.

Have a great time breaking her back in. I'm two weeks away from being back on the Pride. Please let us know how all the new protocols work and I'd love to know who's at the Alchemy Bar. Cheers and enjoy!

Weird observation but are you wearing the Social Distortion shirt variation 'Social Distancing' in one of the earlier pics? Because that seems like the perfect shirt to wear on a cruise ship 😂

Actively eating or drinking is kind of vague. I'm curious about how thing are at the Alchemy Bar where my wife and I spend a lot of time. Will I need a mask on until I take a sip of my drink or is sitting at a bar considered actively drinking?
-
That still doesn't explain why excursions aren't showing. It's not like they don't know what's available on their private island. Bimini (which was added the same time as HMC) has a few excursions showing. Nothing we can really do other than check in daily and hopefully snag a cabana.

Well their new slogan for the Crown Princess is 'Bend Over and Take It'.
