Rare happychippy Posted September 28, 2023 Author #32 Share Posted September 28, 2023 Good Morning from Ketchikan. It is 7:15am here. Weather is going to be perfect with high of 55 and no rain 🙂 Love the Princess staff member his name was El Mar at the International Cafe remember us from yesterday and knew how we wanted our coffee. Great service and I will tip him extra before the cruise ends. We also enjoy hanging out in the Sky Lounge, beautiful quiet lounge in the morning, the afternoon it had more of a crowd and was warmer. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Be sure to mention him in your post-cruise survey! Their bonus/promotions depend on it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare happychippy Posted September 28, 2023 Author #35 Share Posted September 28, 2023 The Photography Tour through Princess was great. 3 hour tour, Small group of 8 plus the guide, Adam. Walked us along the Main Street area and gave a nice guided tour and showed us how to capture some great photos. It was great that we all was using our smart phones, even the guide Adam. All ages from 40 up to 70+ years. There was a bit of walking, but it was casual walking nothing too rough. We stopped at the Ketchikan Library, AMAZING. Tour guides provided coffee, water, fresh baked cookies. I am completely a newbie to learning about using camera on my phone. Would highly recommend and I would do again. We are not big shoppers so after to tour we just picked up a small trinket and back onboard for lunch. Lunch from Horizon court is always fresh and many stations with different varieties. We are now back at The Sanctuary to unwind from the busy morning. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For those not familiar with it, it is an up and down parade. If the coach had your luggage, you should have been able to skip the bottom level. I read somewhere that when Canada Place was built, it only had 2 small ships at a time. Were there more than the Crown in Town? Have a fabulous short cruise in your sanctuary. Canada Place can berth three large ships. We are on this cruise and it was a very smooth quick embarkation. We arrived at 10:45 and were on by 11:30. We had to drop our luggage off at the north end of Canada Place, went upstairs stood in line for 5 minutes to get our medallions, down to security where there was no line up. US customs had the kiosks, no line at all and we walked on the ship. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regular diners do not get that option I wouldn’t call the ramen an extra “entree”. More of a starter IMHO. I would hope the extra entree in Reserve Class is something more substantial than that. On the Emerald Princess a few weeks ago, our waiter would let us know every night of an extra entree in the regular MDR. It was always an Indian dish. I asked him if the chef was Indian (South Asian) and he said no, but they often will add a dish that they think the will appeal to the passengers on that particular cruise.

Rare happychippy Posted September 29, 2023 Author #43 Share Posted September 29, 2023 Tonight we dined in the Da Vinci dinning room, shared table early dining. It was another great experience. Fish and Chips meal was delicious and server even brought around vinegar and ketchup. Perfection! There is another art auction tonight so some of the art has been changed out.

Rare happychippy Posted September 29, 2023 Author #44 Share Posted September 29, 2023 After dinner drink at the Explorer lounge, this area has been a little less crowded and the bar staff are very friendly. Dirty Banana. Sister had a shot of something lemon because she wanted the shot glass. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
