I agree.  It’s such a disconnect.  It’s the weak point of the organization.

We have found the same thing, a weak link when all the other levels of service are excellent. Must be the training for new employees.  Lets give them grace.  Big big changes this year.

Agree, that IS risky, all HAL's efforts could be trumped by a ship making less of an effort.  

Question, about Juneau, what ship if any was there while you were in port?  We have a small group whale watching excursion booked thru COSTCO.  Hoping it will be just HAL folks?  

Can't view Menu's on Navigator App can you upload a dinner menu from MDR? THX

For those sailing later this season - post any questions you have and I’ll try to answer them when in port. I don’t purchase onboard WiFi as a rule as I try to disconnect while at sea!

Did you bring wine onboard? If so how did it go?  We usually bring a few bottles each.  Cruise Contract says 1 PP,  nc but any after will be $20 corckage fee.  

Thanks Lisa, We are looking forwards to all your posts, sent you a friend RQ on FB.

Did you book any lunches in Pinnacle grill?  I have heard you need to do it quickly upon boarding.?

Hello all,

I haven’t been on this site for awhile - understandably - but thought I would venture back as I am to embark on the American Constellation next Friday in Ketchikan for ACL’s 11-day Alaska Adventurer Cruise on up to Juneau. Similar to ACL’s Alaska Explorer Cruise, mine is NOT RT from Juneau, and is the only one on their schedule for June 4, 2021 through June 14, 2021. Besides Ketchikan, where on June 3rd ACL is provided one night at the Cape Fox Lodge - my very favorite place in Ketchikan, our ports include Wrangell. Petersburg, Skagway, Haines, before ending our cruise in Juneau. Of course, on the way we will be visiting Tracy Arm and the Sawyer Glacier, as well as a day in Glacier Bay. A very nice itinerary! This will be my 7th cruise in Alaska but the first on a small ship. I am looking forward to the experience.

This cruise was chosen to replace my Grand Puget Sound Cruise on May 7th which was cancelled due to the bad COVID situation in Washington; this cruise was RT from Seattle. I will try again for this cruise in 2022.

Any one else on my Alaska Adventurer Cruise? Let me know if so.

Ron, Glad to see you cruising Alaska again.  We so enjoy your detailed experiences.  We are booked again on HAL 7/31/21 Seattle Rnd trip.  Looking forwards to your insightful posts.
