We did the Sled Dogs, Panning for Gold and train. You have a costume guide for the excursion. It was wonderful. Would highly recommend this excursion. On train was a private car. Were masks required or was it a personal choice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If so, we walked out and didn't go back if he was there. One lady dominated the "show" and brought along her own songbook... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrsskyhook Posted May 7, 2022 #156 Share Posted May 7, 2022 (edited) If you notice that your shipmates cannot locate you on the app, or you have to tap your Medallion to open your cabin door, it's a sign that you need to get your Medallion replaced. I stopped by guest services and a new one printed in less than a minute. Edited May 7, 2022 by mrsskyhook 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was the one for Hubbard Glacier. We will be taking the excursion off the cruise ship to Hubbard Glacier in June. Did the vendor cancel because of bad weather? We have had this trip cancelled 2 times on past cruises -- thought we would try one more time this June. Have heard nothing yet so assuming it is still a go for us.

After our excursion, I t old Mike to go up to our cabin and I would take a picture of him on the balcony from the pier. I think I gave up after 20 minutes. His car key would not work and there was a line at customer service. I do not like using the medallion. Most of my clothes do not have pockets and I do not carry a purse around the ship or my phone.

Works well, except to get on/off the ship since I have to actually have it in my hand (fears that it will fall through the netting under the gangway...haha). It clips on to my waist band or any other parts of my clothes. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
compozer Posted May 7, 2022 #162 Share Posted May 7, 2022 When we went to dinner, Mike would put it in his pocket. I usually am wearing a swimming suit most of the time around the ship in warm weather locations so I would either stick it into the top of my swimsuit or stick it up under my swimsuit at the hip. If no swimsuit, I would stick it into my bra. First cruise with the medallion, I made Mike put it in his pocket. The last cruise I had to take a small purse around with me for the medallion and my phone. I did use the lanyard around my next in ports - stuck it under what ever I was wearing. I do not like it on display - just like so many people carrying around their blue Princess bag - shouts tourist!!! Your clip is handy if your pants have belt loops. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As for the cruise, personal choice. We have notice about 65% of passengers are wearing mask on board. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the vendor maybe was not able to get access to location until after our cruise 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are sailing Royal later this year and would be interested to know the state of the bands, particularly Bator, the Prestige Trio, and The Sound. Are people being inspired enough to dance when they play? Thanks in advance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yehootu Posted May 8, 2022 #174 Share Posted May 8, 2022 How has the internet been? We plan on taking our going home Covid test in Victoria via the ships internet ( now that they won't pay for dockside testing) with eMed. Don't want to pay for an international phone plan for 1 day.

compozer Posted May 8, 2022 #175 Share Posted May 8, 2022 That is our plan also. I purchased a good supply and will take four tests for each of us. We need a test to get on the ship after our land portion - not sure if Princess will do them at their lodge. I plan to test one day before for both ship and flight home. We have AT&T and phone calls in Canada are free. I imagine Princess changed their policy so they are not responsible for the paying for the quarantine expenses. I was in quarantine for 11 days and my resort bill was $3000. Canada requires 14 days. I signed up for the international phone plan and just needed to use it one day - $10 was reasonable.
