Just disembarked smoothly in Vancouver after 12 days on Regatta doing the West Coast including Alaska. Food was wonderful, service was topnotch and cabins were comfortable and well serviced. Peter, the cruise director was fantastic. Unfortunately, we had to skip Sitka, which was a highlight for many of us. A storm came up the outside passage and the Captain decided that, due to wave height and winds, he would reposition to go up the Inside Passage instead. Since Sitka was a tender port, it would have been dangerous to attempt it. A good decision, although unfortunate. We spoke with some Carnival passengers in Hoonah who had taken the open ocean route and they said the waves were 30 feet and many of the ship’s passengers were sick. That ship ran out of Dramamine. We, instead experienced a smooth sailing and one extra sea day. Yesterday we took the COVID test in order to fly back to the US. It was run smoothly and efficiently and we tested negative. However, we saw at least 8 people pulled aside for positive tests. One, who we knew, was told 10 days in quarantine in a Vancouver hotel. Her husband was negative and was allowed back in the room with her and told he did not have to quarantine. However, if he decides to stay in the same hotel with her he will have to pay for a different room. We wish them well. Our only complaint is that Oceania now is docking 7 miles outside of Ketchikan, rather than at the town docks. It is an NCL built docking facility and frankly, is second rate and extremely inconvenient to anyone with walking difficulties. It is a long uphill walk from the ship to a building where the tour busses and shuttles into town depart from. There were no golf carts to assist people with walking difficulties and it was raining. The shuttles only run every half hour and are vans which cram people tightly together. Not COVID safe. The dropping off place in Ketchikan is berth 4 which is a 7 minute walk to downtown. We took a cab and it was $14 roundtrip to get to the downtown from where the shuttle dropped us off. There was no one there to meet the first shuttle so folks were left to try to figure out where to go. The shuttle people at the departure point had the wrong information and were telling passengers that the last shuttle was 4:30 when the ship was leaving at 4. Very disorganized and a corporate decision that does not consider the passengers and forces them to cut time in town to take the shuttle a total of an hour roundtrip. The crew also suffers as they did not have enough time to get to the WalMart for their shopping that they were anticipating. We hope Oceania reconsiders this poor decision but have been told that NCL, Regant and Oceania will all use this far away dock. Ketchikan shop owners also are unhappy about the decision. But, All in all a lovely cruise to beautiful Alaska.
