Saint Greg's Alaska Jewel - Live - August 28, 2023

[Saint Greg]

Since we are into the college football season I am curious if this sport 21 being the only sports channel on this ship is typical of NCL or is it only because the ship is operating between Seward and Vancouver? 
 

I know we had it on my Venezia transatlantic but they said once it got to NYC the tv package would change and they would get all of the espn channels.

you can check tonight.  Florida vs Utah is on ESPN tonight at 7 central, so 4 pm your time?

That’s your seat. 

You can take the train from Anchorage instead where there is only forward facing seats for two. There is a separate dining car but it's all shared seating.

Doubt I’ll be onboard for any of that. We are in Juneau 2-9pm.

I think that’s the train that leaves from behind my airbnb

instead of the airport. Of course for me to take it on the same day I would’ve had to leave around 6am instead of 1pm and it would’ve cost almost twice as much.

I did Tracy Arm May 26th last year. And I was originally on the cruise before that and I also had it booked for that one. So definitely worth her checking into before doing anything too drastic.

 

Yes, definitely worth looking into. We went in 2022 the second week of June and I called the company (Allen Marine Tours, I believe)before booking and they are the ones who said general rule of thumb is Memorial Day. It’s always weather related so anything is possible ☺️

We are hours behind but these pics just aren’t uploading. I’ve had like 7 drinks since that coffee.

 

 

I bet you're loving that two drinks at a time on NCL... (And, no 15 drink limit.) Have you gone over 15, or have you even been counting?

Looks like an uncomfortable situation for anyone with long legs or a larger mid-section.

I like to call this drink 12 at 12

Saint Greg....I love your style! You and I would get along great on one of these cruises. This thread has kept me entertained for a few days....keep em coming bro.

they have biodegradable straws which are as good as real straws But carnival is too cheap to buy them. Just have to know where they are.

3-5 min wait for breakfast 

 

 

Daily features is the portion that changes. That’s where I found the sandwich yesterday. For the non ccl peeps carnival has to one breakfast menu for port days and one brunch menu for sea days.

Huervos rancheros with a side of bacon and breakfast potatoes

Great spot for waterfalls. I have a compilation from last year. I may pull up my vids and post them.

 

[Saint Greg]

Now that’s a cruise ship bathroom. I’ve been in 5 public bathrooms and I would say 3 are large and 2 are what I would expect. This is one of the two.

Yep, that's the one. Only difference beyond departure time & price are the cars. If I had to sit facing backwards for hours I'd be really poed!

[Saint Greg]

Tracy arm and ponta Delgada are the two most beautiful places I’ve been in my life.…that I can remember. I was born in Italy near Venice but don’t really remember it.

I was facing forward but the person across from me was facing back.
