SandySetsSail Posted July 30, 2021 #1126 Share Posted July 30, 2021 It’s been a few years since my Alaskan cruise, but I seem to recall there being local Alaskan beer onboard. Anyone seen any local beers offered on this cruise? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare HaveDogWillTravel Posted July 30, 2021 Author #1127 Share Posted July 30, 2021 @dreaminofcruisinthe first list is from the inside left hand side if the wine book. It was in last nights formal night wine menu. @caribill I believe @Steelers36 is on the next sailing at least that’s what I recall without looking back. I’m simply addressing their concerns on a sailing I believed to be in the very near future. As you know I really try not to speculate. I think that’s a waste of time. Now give me data actual data…. not just a few observations and I’ll put my degree to work to provide a prediction with a stated level of mathematical certainty. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am still confused about the PBP for room service. did this change for all future cruises or just this one? sorry for having to ask again.

To follow on from this, as I think my post got lost in the flood that happened while the cruisers were sleeping We would love to all know when and how you can currently use Ocean Now to order drinks for free on a Beverage Package? Just when near bars, in room, in corridors, near pool? 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did anyone come onboard in Skagway or Juneau (or coming today) as a special speaker about Alaska or with the dogs (I know Princess advertised special presentations for Alaska)? Are they really just taking pictures at night on the ship? Was there a photographer out yesterday at the glacier? Did they have hot drinks around the top decks out yesterday? Thanks for all your time to answer our questions! I’m wondering about these topics, too! There was an article announcing “North to Alaska” menu items that got me thinking about King crab. And the musher’s puppies meet and greet? I’m guessing that it ended up not happening, but hoping for confirmation one way or the other. Many thanks to those cruising and keeping us up to date!

Rare HaveDogWillTravel Posted July 30, 2021 Author #1132 Share Posted July 30, 2021 (edited) Here you go. The package and room service question should be put to rest with this video of Oleh. I have enjoyed quite a few room service deliveries using my beverage package. Room service times are getting better everyday in my experiences. They added more staff and did some improvements to the technology on board. @Capella Blackyes anywhere really. Be a bit careful of the delivery location. There’s a scroll down menu to pick from if it’s off a bit. I’ve included screen shots. Those were my options the other day standing mid ships deck 17 over the skywalk near MUTS. Also if you are on your balcony near your neighbors’ you might inadvertently (or intentionally lol) have it delivered to them. Last night’s captain circle event was really special. They had one at 5 snd 7 (at least). Although I’ve qualified for some time to attend this was the first one I actually went to. Very glad I did. Jan addressed the difficulties the team faced bringing the ship back into service. she said they were working as fast as possible to improve all the new features being implemented. Captain Dino describes the passengers as the blood in the veins of the ship @Chai8i actually met Chris from corporate (how he introduced himself) up decks while we were in front of the glacier yesterday. He is the one who personally put together the entire north to Alaska program. No puppies in the piazza we had The Life of a Musher with a pup brought on board. we picked up our king crab in Juneau snd it was fabulous.

I adore a late afternoon cocktail on our balcony before getting ready for dinner, but that's always meant going and finding a bar and bringing them back. No more! 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kml246 Posted July 30, 2021 #1141 Share Posted July 30, 2021 The North to Alaska notice about the presenters and demonstrations onboard was unclear about what cruises they would be on. One could read it as all would be on each cruise, though that's unlikely, or different cruises would have different presenters. Looks like the latter.

lbfluffy Posted July 30, 2021 #1142 Share Posted July 30, 2021 I have thoroughly enjoyed the information I am getting. We have a 7 day cruise booked in December. My husband saw a deal for a 3 day on the Majestic in October. So we are hopping on board so that we can have the ship kind of figured out as well as the medallion app. I’m sad to read so many negative posts about the app. I’m not very tech savvy, but I think I’ll be able to figure it out. I’m glad I can get a drink delivered to my room. Again thank you to all that are posting. I am extremely grateful. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am following all the main issues and changes with MC App. Also in correspondence with Princess on several items and interested to know what is happening on the ships and of course what Jan would say. Looks like you got a preview last night at the reception. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been on 3 Alaska cruises and the presenters and demonstrations noted in the North to Alaska section all happened. Maybe we were just lucky? I know the presenters come on the ship and then leave before the ship heads to the next port. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

phabric Posted July 30, 2021 #1146 Share Posted July 30, 2021 The food you can order from the MedallionClass App, is it the same food from room service or different food? Any chance of a photo of the MedallionClass App food menu? And Room service menu? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
USCcruisecrazy Posted July 30, 2021 #1147 Share Posted July 30, 2021 10 hours ago, Thrak said: Lots of wines that are way out of our price range. Apparently we are the "poor folk" on Princess. Ah well, they got rid of our favorite a couple of years ago. Maybe they will still have it by the bottle in MDR. We always find something at Vines. Exactly why we carry on bottles and pay the corkage fee. I can get a $15-$20 bottle through my wine club that they charge $50-$60 on board...so still get away with a good deal by paying that $15 fee while drinking premium wine.

Thanks for all your time to answer our questions! No specials by the pool in Juneau or Skagway. I love those pop ups. I hope they come back for later sailings. Yes to all your other questions except the pictures at night question as I don’t know what it means. the north to Alaska program is alive and well! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
