I try to select a cruise that includes Glacier Bay as well as Hubbard Glacier which I think is even more magnificent. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought it was a very good performance and he was rather funny. He had my daughter laughing and the general HAL audience at the the ssme time and that is not always the easiest thing to do. Thank you for your reporting! What time do most of the shows start? I'd hate to miss them if I made our dinner reservations at the wrong time.

curtdesilets Posted August 3, 2021 #383 Share Posted August 3, 2021 Were the Forest Rangers on the ship during Glacier Bay? They were a wealth of information last time we went. Also, any PEA SOUP? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The when and where said there would be Pea Soup, but we spent all day on our balcony so not sure if it was actually served. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tridentnyc Posted August 4, 2021 #392 Share Posted August 4, 2021 Hey Brentt, Thanks so much, fantastic reporting so far! Has the weather allowed for much or any on deck lounging or is the weather just too cold? I love being “outside and topside” as much as possible and have never done Alaska before. Will be on the 08/14 sailing and am curious whether it’s possible to spend much time topside or not regardless of sights. Of course my weather may be much different then but thought I’d ask. Thanks so much! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Destiny0315 Posted August 4, 2021 #393 Share Posted August 4, 2021 (edited) Fantastic photos too there Brentt. It's hard not to love an aft balcony once you've been on one, and especially a wrap-around. We loved the portside small wrap on the back end of the Veendam in Bermuda in 2015, and even better a large full wrap-around one on the CCL Pride's aft in 2011.

Thanks so much! We have spent plenty of time outside. While the ship is moving it can be a bit cold, but out of the wind and in the sun (if it is out) is usually very nice. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If there are positive cases than it’s important to us to observe how HAL handles it. As it may impact our decision to sail thanks 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brentt_M Posted August 4, 2021 Author #396 Share Posted August 4, 2021 I have not seen anything except the mask change. There has been absolutely no communication about. It would just be speculation. However, it is very likely there will be some cases on almost all cruises and there is no reason for HAL or any cruise line to broadcast when they do happen unless they are required to. It has been basically a pre-pause cruise from my experience and I am happy with that. 7 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks so much! In 2007 on our Alaska cruise Juneau was in the 50s, Glacier Bay in the 30s and then we hit blue skies in Sitka and Ketchikan and temps in the 70s. With both days having early departures the, we spent enough time by the aft pool that we came home with sun tans. 🙂 (It was the second week of September) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are on the Rotterdam TA (hopefully) so am tracking how HAL protocols work We went on Viking to Iceland and had no cases but other sailings have experienced a few. Think cases are going to happen it more how the ship handles it afterwards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
