I am more concerned about touching serving utensils in the buffets on ships. We were on a Celebrity ship earlier this year where masked and gloved servers were serving the food in the buffet. We were on a Princess ship last week. It was serve yourself. This does concern me.

We missed Ketchikan. It was replaced with Icy Straits. We got to Icy Straits at 4pm. We also arrived at Juneau at 4pm. Victoria arrival was 7pm. After missing Glacier Bay, we chugged our way to Icy Straits.

We just got off the Crown on Saturday. We were really disappointed. We had been to Alaska before so we know what a good experience it can be. This cruise was not a good experience. We missed one port completely and got into others too late to do anything. We completely skipped Glacier Bay. The weather was not great, but because of the engine problems, we could not stick around until the weather cleared, or we would be too late at the next port. We felt really bad for the people who had saved up for an Alaska cruise and were looking forward to it. We feel that Princess should have canceled all cruises on the Crown and rebooked passengers on a different ship. Besides missing ports, there was horrible shaking at the back of the ship which made dining uncomfortable if you are seated in the back area. There was also a sewage smell around midship on the ninth level. These are all problems that are well known to Princess, but they have continued to book cruises on this ship. We have no plans to cruise with Princess again. We are very disappointed in their lack of integrity.

Thanks for the advise and info. I think we can do it!

Thanks. Maybe the traffic won't be terrible on a Saturday morning...I can always hope!!!

We have a choice of either a 10:40am flight or a 5pm flight. We don't want to hang out all day at the airport, but we are not sure we can get to the airport on time for a 10:40am flight. We always walk off with our luggage, so we can get off the ship quickly. We are spending a few days in Boston prior to our cruise, so our preference would be to take the earlier flight if it is doable. Thoughts?
