Thanks Putterdude for the recommendations. I was about to ask for thinks to do between disembarkation and flight check in.

Thanks all for the recommendations. I booked the 5:15 pm flight.

Thanks for the replies.:)

About to book flights for Alaska land/sea cruise next May. Earliest arrival time in Fairbanks would be 12:30 am. First excursion from Princess Lodge is at 8:30 am the later the same morning. I'm considering flying in the previous day. This would give me a full day to adjust to Alaska time and rest before the 1st excursion. Does this many scence to anyone?

Ready to book my return flight for Alaska cruise next May. Ship is scheduled to arrive in Vancouver, BC at 7:30 am on a Saturday. I would assume a 10:30 am flight would be very difficult to catch? Next flight after 10:30 am is at 5:15 pm.

We are going on a 3 day cruise to Bahama aboard the Disney Dream. We are taking 2 grandsons, ages 9 &6. What travel documents are required for the children?

Any suggestions for what to do on our stop at Catalina Island in late September? Not real excited about any of the ship's (Princess Ruby) excursion.

Going to Orlando 2 days prior to our cruise on the Disney Dream in October. I'm planning on renting a car at Orlando Airport and dropping it off at Port Canaveral the morning of the cruise. What car rental companies are closest to the port and do you recommand any car rental companies?

Cruising on Disney Dream in October. Can we make a 12:00 pm flight out of Orlando International Airport?

The noise from the wake was not a problem at all. As a matter of fact, we enjoyed the added sound. It made the cruising experience that much better. Great cabin. You will enjoy it.

I'm looking into booking a 7 day Princess cruise from Whittier to Vancouver, B.C. Return flights are at 11:30 am, 5 pm and 8 pm. I'm affraid the 11:30 am flight will be too early for me to get to the airport. The 5 pm and 8 pm flights both return home at the same time with longer layovers with the 5 pm flight. So I'm considering the 8 pm flight. What is there to do in Vancouver for all the wait time? Are there any hotels that offer "day rates"? Thanks for your response.

Looking into booking a soutbound Alaka cruise on Princess for May 2016. Going to Hubbard Glacier and Glacier Bay for scenic cruising. Is a cabin on one side of the ship any better than the other for this type cruise? Most cabins currently booked appear to be on the Port sid of the ship. Thanks for your comments.

Thanks for your reply jasbo49.

I just booked cabin C226, Mini Suite, on the Coral Princess for a southbound Alaska cruise for May 2016. Any info you can give me on this cabin would be greatly appreciated. Is the balcony partially or fully covered?

Ignore previous post. Just did a search and saw where no changes are currently scheduled for the Coral.

I know that the Island Princess is scheduled for major changes with the addition of more cabins. I assume the same changes are going to be made to the Coral Princess. Has the date for the Coral changes been announced yet?

Don, Denali has a Princess Lodge as does Mt. McKinley. Sorry I was not specific enough for you. I posted my question on the Princess board but it was moved to the Alaska board. To everyone else who understood my question, thank you for your input. You all were most helpful.

PS: The Fairbanks tour goes to Denali followed by Mt. McKinley while the Anchorage tour does Mt. McKinley followed by Denali. Again, is one any better than the other?

I'm looking at booking a land/sea cruise to Alaska in May 2016. I have decided to do one of the 12 day Denali Explorer tours. My choices are flying into Fairbanks and sailing on the Island Princess after the land tour or flying into Anchorage and sailing on the Star Princess after the land tour. Any recommandations on these 2 choices would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks for the info.

I'm looking at booking an Alaska cruise for May 2016 and have a few questions. We are looking at doing the southern cruise from Whitter to Vancouver on the Coral Princess. We will be booking a mini suite. Do all the mini suites on the Coral have covered balconies? And on the Souther cruise is a cabin on the port or starboard side best or doesn't it matter?

Thank you Bruin Steve for all the good information. I really appreciate your reply.

Looking for suggestions for a good seafood restaurant within walking distance of the Crowne Plaza Hotel in San Pedro. Thank you in advance.:)

Well, I was escorted off the ship this morning at 7 am. Sitting in the airport waiting on a 12:45 pm flight. Princess gave me a letter last night for insurance purposes stating that I was restricted to the cabin. I called the travel insurance company a few minutes ago and was told that they would reimburse me for the days I was restricted to the cabin. This was good news especially after all the negative comments when I asked about compensation. It's not coming from Princess but it may be more than I expected.

Hey, didn't hurt to ask. I'll just enjoy the rest go the cruise as best I can in the cabin.
