There are 2 production shows scheduled for this cruise, Stardust and the World of Color. Showtimes for the princess theater are 7:30 and 9:30.

We brought an extension cord for my wife CPAP machine, but your steward can find one for you. There are only a couple outlets in the cabin near the desk, not near the bed.

The quarantine area is still on deck 12 the Aloha deck and no, you will be assign a cabin there. They use the area for covid passengers and newly arriving crew prior to them joining the workforce. The partner will stay in their own cabin.

I know your itinerary may be different, but here is the June 9th itinerary showing which nights are formal nights on our cruise, so yours maybe very similar. So, far the shows included a comedian, a piano man and a lady rock singer. All were quite good. Showtimes were 7:30 & 9:30. There have been game shows, karaoke and movies in the evenings. There's music through out the day, and very good naturalist talks daily. The spa has talks on various topics during the days. Also, there is ballroom dance classes, tai chi at sea, zumba fitness, art auctions and arts and crafts. Of course there's trivia. The casino is very crowded on this cruise because there's a $25,000 slot tournament on this cruise. Today, is our first port, Juneau, we arrive late at 3pm and we are required to get disembarkment passes, I don't know why. I guess they don't want the 2550 passengers pushing and shoving their way off the ship, lol. Tonight's show, we have the first lady winner of the Iditarod, Libby Riddles giving us a talk. If you haven't seen her, she's worth your time to listen to her. Well, that's all for now. If you have any questions feel free to ask, but I don't know whether I have the answers. Tim

Onboard the Ruby with 2550 other passengers, many families with young kids. It's summer what else can you expect. Many new to Princess cruises, so that may help the stock, lol. Like the CEO from Royal Caribbean stated on CNBC, hook them first and hook them for life. Very few wearing mask. We got to the port around 9:40am, checked our luggage with the porters, than stood in line to enter Pier 27 to check in. Normally opens at 10am, but today closer to 10:30am. Went through security than straight to checkin very smooth. Sat in the Platinum/Elite Area by 10:45am. Normally boarding starts around 11:00am, but today delayed until 11:30am. Went directly to the muster station to check in then the cabin to drop off the backpack and head to the DaVinci Dining Room for lunch, while most went to the buffet. After lunch back to the cabin to complete the muster drill by watching the video on the TV. If you don't do this your TV is locked until you do. That's it for now.

By September you may get a few late arrivals, Ketchikan usually get the salmon first

Salmon been running later around end of July
