USNA 72

I'm hoping for suggested alternatives. Since there are 4 of us, I was thinking a car service of some sort might be close in price and much less hassle.

You might want to see if your ship is offering the 26 Glacier Cruise as an excursion in Whittier. If so, seems there'd be minimal risk.

So, if Princess's "additional screening" is an Antigen Test; who pays? What happens if you test positive on the additional screening (I'm assuming the additional screening is an Antigen test and not a temperature check)?

DH and I both tested positive (PCR and 3rd Party Antigen a few days later). We have both of those official "you got COVID" documents. Both tests are within 90 Days of our early June Cruise and we have both completed 10+ days in isolation. In a few days we're going to a "licensed Medical Professional" (CDC's wording for our flight back from Canada, post cruise) to get our "you are recovered" letter on Medical office's letterhead and with our names and DOBs. Sure hoping that works; but, PatrickMoran's experience above has me a bit concerned. I'm pretty sure that we'd test positive on a PCR Test 6 weeks after getting sick; and, can't rule out testing positive on an Antigen Test either. Literature I've seen indicates we'd likely test positive on an Antigen test for 10 days to 6 weeks after being infected.

Anyother experience with the "I had COVID and have recovered" boarding process?

The site in this post has all the docking info for Alaska this year.

Does Majestic dock in downtown Ketchikan or out at Ward Cove?
