Isn't there a video to watch before heading to muster station?

Wondering what month you did this excursion. We will arrive in Ketchikan on June 12th, 3 days prior to dungeness crab season. Trying to find out from our our Princess Planner how this excursion is offered prior to the season start. I don't see anything on the Princess website, so thought CC may be faster. Thanks.

Thank you. A few years ago we flew up to Glacier Bay and over to Juneau--five nights total. Stayed at a B & B in Gustavus (Blue Heron). Enjoyed the visit.

Wondering if the Summit has plenty of space for outdoor viewing.The Princess and RC ships we have sailed on in Alaska have had sufficient space. We have always done the north to south itineraries, so wanted to try a south to north sail (2024). Have never made it to Sitka in the past so we are considering this itinerary. We have been to Glacier Bay on cruises in the past as well as independently, so missing GB is not a problem. Will be there again this summer. Thanks.

Wife and I got off the Royal on Saturday and tested positive at home two days later. Fortunately we took the Princess coach transfer to SEA (no testing needed to cross border by land travel at the time.) rather than the transfer from ship to YVR. Didn't want the 10 day Canadian quarantine if positive.

Talked with Princess today. Said our voyage was exempt from new ruling. He was pretty tight lipped about it when I asked for explanation. Impression I got, maybe right or wrong, was that June sailings would not be involved with those tests. Anyone out there that has a June sailing that is being tested prior to AK land cruise?

No message on my cruise personalizer and we leave for Anchorage in 2 days. Hope to get through to Princess tomorrow-hope open on holiday. The person who posted that "new protocol" is administrator for that Facebook group said she did not know the effective date. There were several members who opened their personalizer and the new protocol message popped up.

Princess Cruises will be doing Covid testing for those on an Alaska land tour prior to embarkation . Wondering what type of test will be done--PCR? NAAT? rapid antigen self test? Not uncommon for some tests to have false negatives. I talked with Princess and the fellow said he didn't know. His response was "whatever they have on hand at the time."

Curious if passengers take a camera on the Princess Nenana River Raft Scenic Wilderness Run excursion. Company does not recommend it, but from videos I have seen, it looks like a pretty tame run. No dry bags or day bags are allowed. I have a small Canon underwater camera that has made several trips down the Colorado River, but easy to store it when need be. Thanks.
