  1. I can't remember for sure but I "think" we had something like $89 refundable OBC left. Hopefully it will show up in the mail. We didn't get a copy of the folio either. I had intended to print it out at the kiosk the next to last day but forgot to do so. D'Oh!
  2. We do the land tour first so we can unwind on the southbound cruise. Both times we started at the Fairbanks lodge. They provided breakfast the first day and we then went on included excursions. The attached document is a bunch of snips from our Travel Summary for a 15 day Connoisseur Escorted Tour. I did it in a hurry just now so hopefully didn't miss a day or double a day or something dorky like that. Lot's going on here at the moment so I did it in a hurry. However, even if I messed it up it should give you an idea of what is included. Also, I will attach a link to an old post by @caribill which is one of the factors that helped us decide on this type of tour in the first place. TRAVEL SUMMARY PORTIONS Travel Summary Snips.docx POST BY caribill EDIT: Be aware that the Tundra Wilderness Tour can't go the full distance at the moment as part of the mountain slid off and took the road with it. It will be quite some time before they can "replace" that portion of the road.
  3. To me, the easiest way to find out where my muster station is so I can check in before heading to MDR for embarkation lunch - or up to my cabin - is to simply ask at any muster station. It's always simple to locate one and they will be able to tell you where your proper muster station is located. Quick and easy with no ambiguity.
  4. We have never done a cruise tour to that area but have done two Connoisseur Cruise Tours to Alaska. We loved them and were pleased to have so much taken care of for us. If we ever do another Princess Cruise Tour we will almost certainly do another Connoisseur tour.
  5. This is a huge peeve with me. I mention it on every survey. The DJs don't ever seem to realize that most older folks don't like the crap they play.
  6. Once you use the link provided above just put Princess into the search bar on the page.
  7. We tried to see "The Woz" when he spoke in the theater but it was totally packed and even standing room at the back was a zoo. I'm not an "Apple" guy and have never had any form of fondness for Steve Jobs but The Woz is a "real" guy and contributed so much to computing. He's one of the real heroes of the computer revolution.
  8. We use air tag holders that cover the info on the rim of the Medallions. Never been asked to remove them.
  9. Not "fightin' words" for me but I do definitely tend to enjoy the sea days more than the port days.
  10. Grand Princess, the oldest ship in the fleet, has USB A ports on the bedside lamps.
  11. We must be the only people in existence who don't really have a problem with the automagic lights. Yes, the ones under the nightstands are annoying but we just drop the bolster in front of them and the problem is solved. A small piece of painter's tape works well also if you have some. The ones in the closet area don't cause us undue problems. I have more of an issue with the dang things turning off when I'm trying to get into the safe for something. Yes, I prefer to be able to simply use a switch but it's not an earth shaking issue.
  12. Sad. Truly sad. I've never had a "real" omelet on a Princess ship. Then again, what passes for hash browns is also pathetic. The "hash browns" at McDonald's are better.
