Just got off Serenade on 6/12. We were one of the few families that wore our masks everywhere on the ship, to the point we got some looks. We ate our buffet food outside in the cold so we would feel safer taking our masks off. We put our masks on in the MDR while waiting between courses. Hand sanitizer up the whazoo. Spent the following week driving ourselves around the Canadian Rockies in a rental car....can you guess where I'm going with this? By Wednesday my throat was sore. By Thursday I felt hot and then shivered all night. By Saturday, when we flew home, I had a dry cough and a runny nose...which I had to just let run so I didn't take off my N95 on the flights since I wasn't sure yet if it was Covid. Home test Saturday night was agressively positive. Thank God they got rid of the mandatory Covid testing requirements for flying back into the US the day we left the cruise or we'd be quarantined in Canada right now. I didn't feel good about making the decision to fly back knowing in all likelihood that I had Covid but we couldn't spend the next 10 days trapped in Canada with our children. I currently still have a fever and no sense if taste or smell.

Let me know your cruise questions. We overnighted in Vancouver the night before, and called in Sitka, Skagway, Haynes and Juneau. I'm happy to answer any questions about what we did or what was going on during the cruise

We rented a jeep in Skagway and did our own touring. 

 

We are doing that coming up in June. How was your experience? Where did you drive to and what did you see? 

Glad to hear they have family swim in the indoor pool ... hopefully it ' not only on port days. My sons are already asking if they can swim in it or sneak in if early enough in the morning 😆

Thanks all...I gave it the ole college try to stay up until Midnight but couldn't do it LOL. I checked this morning and it had the same message BUT I was able to click on my profile icon and it let me check in there. So excited to go to Alaska for the first time!

Hi, our check in is supposed to open tomorrow 4/21 for our 6/5 cruise but the check in button on the App says "check in closed, be sure to check in at the port no more than 90 minutes before departure". My app was updated on 3/31.  Anyone else seeing this message? Am I just looking at it too soon?

Hi, Can we get off the ship in Skagway, AK (docked 7am-3pm) and stay in Haines on our excursion and just meet the ship in Haines? We're docked in Haines from 5pm-10pm...I'd like to get off in Skagway, take the fast ferry to Haines (which would cause us to miss the departure from Skagway) and then just board gain in Haines when it catches up up to us. Does Royal Caribbean let you do this?
