Blizzard54 Posted August 2, 2021 Author #79 Share Posted August 2, 2021 Not a surprise but there is no bar service in the theater. Ripcord and Northstar are not operating. I was informed they will be for the start of revenue cruises. Flowrider open for the polar bear club. Every door you may pass through has a sign indicating mask or mask free. If you wear long sleaves be ready to pull one up to show your band. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Oceansaway17 Posted August 2, 2021 #82 Share Posted August 2, 2021 Enjoy Ketchikan today. First visit for Ovation as she did not stop in 2019. And looks like not on schedule this year since I will be on board in 6 weeks. But at least Ovation gets to return to Sitka again. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blizzard54 Posted August 3, 2021 Author #85 Share Posted August 3, 2021 We had a nice day in Ketchikan, no rain and a little sun. The city is fairly deserted. Several shops are closed.

ILCTCRUISER Posted August 5, 2021 #87 Share Posted August 5, 2021 @Blizzard54 Thanks for the notes re the simulation cruise. One last question, if I may: Did you cruise the Inside Passage or did you go out into the ocean? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Oceansaway17 Posted August 5, 2021 #91 Share Posted August 5, 2021 I hope to sail on her in 5 weeks. HOPE being the operative word. meanwhile next Friday I will watch her leave on the Elliot Bay Marina cam since the Seattle Needle cam is down for service (during the sailing season ) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On board Independence for a simulation cruise Sunday and thinking about booking if there is someone. Desks were open daily and it looked like they were busy booking future cruises!

Our group with yellow stickers were told we could wander the town after our excursion ended. But those with orange stickers were told to come directly back to the ship with their group - must've been the "non-vax" test group! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

denamo Posted August 6, 2021 #96 Share Posted August 6, 2021 Were reservations needed for the Windjammer? Heard on the Adventure of the Seas this was necessary, but usually no problem if didn't have a reservation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure what you mean by kind of luggage, but just about anything you check in, assuming it's not prohibited, will be delivered to your cabin.
