It’s a gray day in Glacier Bay and although we have a light drizzle it doesn’t feel that cold to me. I did finally wear my down jacket for the first time on the cruise.

Wow.... looks like Winter.

Brrr from GB.  Still so gorgeous.  
Apologies For not responding. Having great difficulty connecting to CC.  Can read but have lots of trouble posting 

Two photos (blue) taken through window 

Loved front row seat on balcony deck eight but too rainy for me.  Don’t like when rain hits my face (  I must’ve been a cat in another life.  ) 

Thanks for the nice compliments re yesterday’s photo.  Much appreciated.

I don't think are are any vaccinated kids right now. Maybe in a month or so.

I may be mistaken but thought this was a 100% vaccinated cruise.  So, no kids under 12 I would think.

The most we had in there at one time was 12 people (the number of heated loungers).  I don't know if they were limiting it to that number as we were never turned away.  Several days it was only my wife and one or two other couples. It was fantastic!

@station10fd Were most or all people wearing masks in the Enclave?

For this cruise, did the app allow you the opportunity to make such reservations?

Yes, I was able to make reservations using the app but they weren’t needed and nobody is checking to see if you have a reservation. This is probably because we are only sailing at just over 50% capacity.

While in Ketchikan be sure to visit the Popcorn place. Right there in town by where the ship docks. SO good.👍

Thanks for the tip…..we love popcorn so we will look for it. There was a popcorn store in Skagway but it was closed.

True but what about the 5 percent? I wonder how many kids if any anyone has seen so far?  Aren't they the 5% they let on?

I haven’t seen one child on this week’s cruise.

A Princess rep yesterday insisted that the app pre-cruise does not offer an opportunity to book attendance at onboard events such as shows in the Princess Theater, trivia, etc.

 

Other threads have indicated the app had been used to make these reservations pre-cruise, even though no attention was paid to them once on board.

 

For this cruise, did the app allow you the opportunity to make such reservations?

We were on Sky Princess in December 2019 and March 2020 (last cruise before the shutdown).  We were not able to make reservations for shows/events on the app.

Last week there were a few children under 18. I did not see any that looked like they were under 12. But the Hollywood Pool and Hollywood Conservatory would have been off limits to the ones under 18.

I saw no one wearing a mask all week long.  I don't see how you could with the humidity in there.   A few would walk in with masks on, but it wouldn't take long for them to come off.

I’m loving the Hollywood Pool and Hollywood Conservatory. I wish all ships had them as I like this area much better than the Sanctuary on other ships.

More photos from Glacier Bay today. This is Lamplugh Glacier.

John Hopkins Glacier.

The little black dots in the water are sea otters.

[KLM3164]

Lots of sea lions on these little islands in Glacier Bay. Couldn’t see them clearly but definitely heard them…..very loudly!

[KLM3164]

My favorite vacation drink…..Midori Pina Colada.

 

Found a great mask for formal night in the sundries store on the ship. It goes perfect with my dress for formal night tonight.

I’ve been trying to upload  for an hour and a half, But I think because there’s a lot of traffic on the thread, somehow,  it prevents me from logging on.  It says I am logged on, but there’s no way for me to comment or to like anybody’s posts. 
There is   a better signal sitting by the window. 2:00 am no problem 😆 

 

To the CVS questioner, yes , it should say CVS on the letterhead. 

It’s formal night.

Looks like a gray Kaua’i.

It looks like maybe it cleared slightly from the first pictures posted? I will be so excited to be there no matter what the weather! Thanks so much for sharing 🙂

@KLM3164 Was this an excursion you booked in port or how did you go about this? Thanks

I did this excursion a few years back.  SO worth it!  I got to kiss Karen the moose!  I would highly recommend this!

Yeah, we were wondering how a mask in that humidity would work out. Thanks
