Cool Cruiser

Cool Cruiser (2/15)

  1. Our ship is only in Juneau 12-6pm. Want to go to Mendenhall glacier and walk out to Nugget falls, the tours only allow 90 min. Am I better to cab/Uber there and back or rely on the Blue bus? There are 7 in our group
  2. Is this doable when we are only in Juneau 12-6pm?
  3. It’s the Crown. Just got off her on Sunday
  4. Is Rapid Trace available to Canadians?
  5. Would this include the Crab Shack lunch?? Hoping it has returned
  6. I have the green box free tests as well (BC). Does it need to be a new box or are they more concerned that the tests inside are new? There is not QR on my box
  7. I would go in your case. Glacier Bay doesn’t seem to have been affected by the port issues and it is so worth it. If you manage to not have Icy Strait cancelled ( so far, it looks like only the May 14th cruise made it there so far) it is a charming authentic town. So worth it.
  8. In Santa Barbara, we went to the zoo on the city bus. Not as large or pricy as San Diego, but we loved it!! Can feed the giraffes too. Returned back and just wandered for a bit before returning by tender
  9. Our cruise has a stop in LA from 7 am to 5 pm. On Princess. The only excursion apart from Universal Studios are en route to the airport. Is there shuttles available to say Hollywood, Santa Monica Pier etc from the cruise port? Is anything walkable? What do you suggest that isn’t too far from the ship or easy to get back to in time?
  10. Can anyone answer this for me? If a cruiseline cancels your cruise, do you also receive a refund for the travel and medical insurance you have purchased for the cruise?? What if it’s privately purchased?? It’s over $300 that I shouldn’t be out if I wasn’t the one who cancelled. Thanks
  11. I’m also booked for this sailing so following the Crown closely both here and on Facebook. I still plan on making final payment and going. Here are my thoughts. It’s a 10 day round trip cruise that for me, does not include any flights.( I live in Victoria do it’s a ferry ride away) I have been to all the ports before and apart from LA, not really planning any excursions. I will Not be heartbroken if the ports are shortened or canceled, I’m travelling with 12 family and friends and really look forward to the ship and sea days the most. From what I read, the crew has been awesome, activities still going on, food is being prepared for me and I have the beverage package!! My worry is that the cruise will be canceled outright. Will I be out any money? Maybe insurance?? That being said, I will get a full refund and possibly some FCC for the trouble. If I was doing a bucket list cruise to Alaska, or this was a once in a lifetime destination, I would cancel. Hope that helps.
  12. Interesting. The problem I see with replacement cruises is that in our case- there are no other cruises from Vancouver. Like the last cruise noted- one was Seattle other San Francisco- I doubt Princess would pick up the extra cost for flights if one lived in Seattle
  13. I’m in a bit of a different position. My cruise is a 10 day round trip Pacific Coastal September 22. Then it is scheduled for dry dock immediately after. If it’s still puttering along by then, it will be interesting as to what they plan to do to our ports (SF,SD, SB &LA. ) I’ve been to all of these before- booked it more for our families joining who are first timers. Emailed Princess 2 weeks ago asking about whether they we’re waiting for dry dock to repair this issue. No word yet. Talked to my TA and he feels it’s exaggerated, all ships are going slower in AK. ( I think he doesn’t want to lose his commission on all our cabins) he is also on this cruise. So my dilemma- do I carry on with final payment and hope for OBC if ports are altered or cancelled? If entire cruise is canceled ( as happened to the Carribean) will I get some great FCC to go with my refund? What if they end the cruise half way, fly us all back to Vancouver? Will areas of the ship be closed off in preparation for dry dock?? For me, it’s the 10 day cruise that I want- not do much the ports but do want some time ashore. What a mess. The way Princess is handling this is atrocious.
