Cruzin Grandma

I am looking at booking. 7-night Vancouver-Anchorage cruise in September 2023. The itinerary states arrival in Whittier/Anchorage at 12:30 am! Does anyone know if you actually have to start disembarking soon thereafter or are you allowed to stay on the ship (and sleep) until a normal hour😂? I understand you need to allow at least 2 hours to get to the airport. Also, if I book a late afternoon flight, will there be a place to stow our luggage? Thanks in advance. FYI, not new to cruising, just new to cruising Alaska.

 Thank you for your attention to this notification. I received the following message this morning. Please share your experience if this has happened to you. I like to be prepared! Thank you! IMPORTANT NOTICES EMBARKATION NOTIFICATION Please be advised that embarkation for your Caribbean Princess cruise on Thursday, November 3, 2022 will begin at 12:30 PM due to required immigration formalities and a US Coast Guard Inspection that will take place upon the ship's arrival to Fort Lauderdale. This is a very thorough safety inspection, requiring the participation

We will be going on our first post Covid shut down cruise in November. Is it necessary to sign up for an arrival time in Port Everglades if you have elite status? Thanks!

Thank you! I’m enjoying reading your posts!

Looking forward to your Live posts. If possible, please ask about ultimate balcony dinner and if there are plans to restart this soon. Thanks and enjoy your cruise!

I just reserved the Crown Grille for our upcoming cruise. The screen showed dining credit, but I could not confirm without a cc#. I did not have my card on file, so I added my card, redid the reservation (4 people, each having a credit). Cost was $116, credit $116, BALANCE DUE $0. I too will keep an eye on my cc statement, but I think the credit was applied correctly. 🤞🏻

Does anyone know if the Ultimate Balcony Dinner is being offered since the re-start or if not, when it may start up again? Thanks!

Thanks for your replies.

I was under the impression that if you book EZ Air and request early ticketing, you could then deal directly with the airlines should flights be changed or canceled. Can anyone confirm (or deny) this? I cannot find anything specific on the Princess website FAQ. Thanks in advance!
