See them here: http://goldenalaska.wordpress.com/ Very nice...did you bring a scanner?! On our recent cruise on the Golden, Internet access was a bit spotty. I tried to upload one picture (about 4.5mbs) and after about 20 minutes, I gave up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mercruiser Posted July 21, 2012 Author #7 Share Posted July 21, 2012 Yes, I brought a scanner. I will probably not post again until Juneau when I have access to cellular data. I'm not using the ship Internet. We are on sail away right now. It's a picture perfect day in Seattle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NRG Posted July 22, 2012 #8 Share Posted July 22, 2012 We are on the ship with you! Today was a beautiful, sunny day in Seattle. We are in a window suite and love it so far, except our safe is broken and we are expecting a replacement. We are going to the welcome aboard show and then to the crown grill for dinner. We were among the first onboard and had a quiet lunch in the dining room. My Internet is free with no issues. I'll try to keep in touch during the week.

This might be the first cruise with Frank Castiglione as CD. It will be interesting to compare with earlier Patters to see if he makes any changes. Have a Great Cruise on the Golden. She was the first Princess ship we sailed on, we have a total of 28 days on her and will be on her for 14 more days in September. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sunshine100 Posted July 22, 2012 #11 Share Posted July 22, 2012 I would love to know how long Frank Castiglione will be on the Golden Princess. He was our CD on Coral Princess in March 2012 Panama Canal cruise. We will be on Golden to Hawaii in October. If anyone finds out, could you please post on here??? Thanks!

sunshine100 Posted July 22, 2012 #13 Share Posted July 22, 2012 We liked Frank--it was a 2 week cruise and we were never bored--there were many things to do. The activity staff was also very good on that cruise. Frank was everywhere! I hope he will be our CD in October for the Hawaii cruise! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vanilla Posted July 22, 2012 #14 Share Posted July 22, 2012 glad to finally read a positive comment about Frank. I was concerned - he will be our CD on the Golden in 27 days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She was the first Princess ship we sailed on, we have a total of 28 days on her and will be on her for 14 more days in September. Just off the Golden this morning. (Sad face.) Frank was our CD. Ummm... he's no David Cole. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NRG we are in a WS also...F311. We are in f311, I love it. They fixed the safe last night. We don't smell any smoke from the cigar bar and the hallway is very quiet but we do hear lots of creaking at night. I am trying to use as many suite perks as possible since we may never have another. Dinner at Crown Grill last night was very good. We ordered lots of food and enjoyed everything but the mussels. I have already been on the treadmill this morning and am sitting with my coffee at the IC, just coffee for me no pastries this morning! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vanilla Posted July 22, 2012 #23 Share Posted July 22, 2012 How is the view out of the windows? Glad there isn't the cigar bar smell... hope that stays true for the rest of your cruise. Glad you liked the Crown Grill - I think that is where we will eat our first night meal also.... Enjoy the perks... I intend to also. Most of the WS are occupied with folks from our rollcall... I know they are watching your posts and are interested in anything you will share about the rooms, perks, etc.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mercruiser Posted July 23, 2012 Author #24 Share Posted July 23, 2012 We arrived in Juneau about an hour early. I have posted some photos at goldenalaska.wordpress.com Verizon Internet works fine here. I'll post patters after we return from whale watching trip.

Mercruiser Posted July 23, 2012 Author #25 Share Posted July 23, 2012 Whale watching trip was really great. I got lots of pictures of tail flukes and some of bubble net feeding. Next stop is Mendenhall Glacier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
