  1. Cashed out 2 days ago & got just $49.15. Donated plenty to the 'cause'
  2. Yes .... heres 2019. PSD: Vista Lounge: before full set up Vista Lounge with latkes, fruit, sufganiyah
  3. I put in Ogden Point. My address was my stateroom, E412
  4. I used Seattle Shuttle, walked off at 7:15, was on the shuttle within minutes, it left immediately, and with Sea Spot Saver I had to wait 1.5 hrs after security for my 11:05 flight. Repeating Spot Saver in Newark .... so fast. Shorter line than TSA PreCheck ✔
  5. I love it when you post and clear it all up. THANK YOU!! (from a mechanically clueless poster)
  6. Ship Discovery Princess Class Royal Class Deck Emerald (8) Stateroom # E412 Category DW Port/Starboard/Bow/Stern Midship Connects With Cabin # n/a Accessible No Quiet very quiet Balcony Size expanded due to bump out View lovely but blocked a little more looking down than older Royal class ships (ie: Majestic & Royal) Privacy Issues None Wind N/A Soot N/A Problems none Comments unlike older Royal Class DW (Deluxe obstructed balcony) there is a pergola below the balcony extending out. You can 'almost' see it in the picture. Will definitely book it again, in fact booked it on Enchanted Princess in September. Loveseat not sofa provided
  7. Me!! Until the final night this time. But that's just been on the Emerald, Ruby, and Discovery. Did not have that experience on the Majestic.
  8. NO Not intentionally. And they need to fix it. I bought wifi pre cruise and lost connection the 1st night (still between Seattle & Victoria so less than 12 miles out). Navigator couldn't fix it. IT Mgr couldn't fix it. So he deleted it for me and credited my account. Still had it the next morning and IT Mgr said it would drop off that day. Never did -- it actually got better. So it wound up being free-to-me. Apparently intranet couldn't work without internet?? But how it that even possible?? He said it -- I don't believe it but I'll try that theory out in 2 months. Frankly whomever is in charge of that dept division wide needs to go while s/he has any reputation left
  9. I was refused a solo table the final night and he slowed my service down to match the table pace. Seriously I wouldn't have minded finishing 1st then going to Victoria They were not seating anyone at a 2top
  10. Order in the morning for delivery around 3pm OMG Rock Opera & Spotlight Bar were amoung the best shows I've seen on a ship
  11. No blue bags or upgraded toiletries on Discovery Princess. And the formal night canapés were 6 gross looking tiny round fishy things. I refused them
  12. If you want stores then you will be disappointed in ISP. I wanted to be outside so loved it. I can shop at home. Although I also have redwoods at home (including 3 at my house) I don't have bears and few large eagles. Saw an eagle pick up a smallish animal (house cat size) guess it wanted dinner too Lots of scat. Some with bones. So 2 kinds of large predators. Maybe bears??
  13. Certainly the case on my current Discovery Princess Alaska cruise ..... about 1/3 are blue, numbers get smaller until about 100 elite.
  14. No idea why it was an incomplete post. Pertinent info in red
  15. It was announced onboard. At MEET THE CAPTAIN the captain just stated that ISP is not available for the Discovery Princess as 2 other ships will be in that port that day
  16. Tree fell. Minimal damage
  17. Now that I'm here I just did what I was going to do in Skagway. Sort of. I had planned a hike to Lower Dewey Lake but instead I rode the 1st tram up and had a 1/2 mile walk down. Still trees, open air, very few people. Then I walked along the water. Rode the tram back up, walked back down. Still got 3 miles in. Pizza onboard. It is what it is. A really pretty area with a free tram and awesome zipline. Unfortunately their Adventure Park is closed (as security reminded me). But once it opens there's a bunch of stuff to do in the trees -- ropes, uneven planks, paths with missing planks, climbing!!
  18. So its about as 'Alaskan' as Princess Cay is Caribbean? That's disappointing
  19. They will have staff at the entry to the Captains Party and I'm waiting to see if they turn ppl away. According to the flyer they will. If you want to wear shorts then go to the buffet
  20. Just an FYI, Discovery Princess has an added clarification onboard. It says: Formal. No shorts.
  21. Yes. Icy Point Strait instead. I've also never been there and I can't find a port guide for it. If any one has a link, I'd be appreciative
