Cool Cruiser

Cool Cruiser (2/15)

  1. Try using a different browser. I just tried using MS Edge. No problem. Cheers
  2. Do you know if mini suites are included in this menu?
  3. You can walk around the town from the dock easily. That's what we did last August. Not much there.
  4. Took this photo a few years ago on the Skagway train. Guy next to me was taking pictures at the same time. He submitted his to Princess for their annual photo contest and won something - maybe a cruise. Essentially the same picture.
  5. Yes. We've always had them refunded. Don't remember if it was OBC or not.
  6. Ken, thanks so much for your research. We will be doing the 14 day Van to Van starting June 5 on the Grand. This will be our 5th time to Alaska on Princess. We love it. Cheers.
  7. Yikes. I wouldn't be happy. Sorry this happened to you.
  8. Changes I would make are: 1. Service in buffet would be cafeteria style where you hold your plate and staff serves the food. After close to 70 cruises, I have regularly witnessed the unhygienic habits of a significant number of my fellow passengers and I would think that given recent events, it is time. 2. Teach the staff to read their audience. A while back, probably pre-covid, we were on a ship and went to Skywalkers after dinner for libation and dance. A look at the crowd would have revealed that 80% or more were Medicare eligible. Noone was on the dance floor. The DJ was playing loud electronic tunes. I asked if he had any Motown, Stones or Doobie Bros. He played "I Heard it through the Grapevine" and "Mustang Sally". The dance floor quickly filled up. He was unable to detect the reason and went back to evangelizing his electronic sounds. The dance floor emptied and many left.
  9. I've been retired for 8 years now and while my DW of 48 years may differ, I occasionally consider myself full-grown.
  10. Got some air tag bracelets from Amazon. They were cheap and work great.
  11. I've experienced 3 out of nine, recently. Those related to bodily functions and sounds. Probably the most egregious event was a couple who brought their dog into the MDR in a stroller and sat at a table very near ours. At first, I thought they were bringing in a newborn or infant because of their demeanor. A bark soon dispelled that assumption as did a semi-regular yipping. The proud couple encouraged others including waitstaff to interact with their precious bundle. We quickly decided to try and ignore them with some success. We were glad that the waitstaff who did physically interact their dog was not serving our food. Cheers.
  12. We have about 25 Princess cruises. I have experienced this in the past and now go through a TA. In the past, when I got someone who was not helpful, I would say goodbye and call again. It is becoming harder to accomplish this. I agree. Very frustrating.
  13. Thanks for taking the time to write your review. I'm trying to talk my DW into this cruise. She is afraid that she will not like that many sea days. We've done close to 70 cruises but never had more than 3 sea days in a row. Any thoughts are appreciated. Cheers.
