Brickwood Posted September 13, 2021 #2 Share Posted September 13, 2021 I'm on board but hadn't planned any kind of live review. I am happy to answer any questions you might have but have limited WiFi and not getting on too frequently. So with that I will give a couple of personal observations. Testing was a breeze. Both Marriott and the convention center were open. We finished that but still had to wait about 1/2 hour until they started boarding. Quite a few masked up yesterday but not so much today. I can't get the ncl app to work for onboard texting and calling despite a couple visits to guest services. Looks like kinky boots is a go this week - we have a reservation for Wednesday. Haven't seen anything on Choir of man so assuming it is still a no go. That's all for now. Gotta go have some more fun! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sure hope Choir of Man is good to go when we board on the 25th. Which covid testing location is closest to luggage drop off? Hubby is disabled so I want the closest one. Looking forward to anything you post! I look at the bridge cam several times a day. Like like you had a little overcast but rather smooth seas today. Nice!

You will have to wait until you get there and they will direct you to the best place for your hubby. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

leumas Posted September 13, 2021 #8 Share Posted September 13, 2021 Also on board this week. Kinky boots Wednesday and Thursday(early show only) The choir of men is not on our schedule but the signage all says to book them so that was plan. Hopefully they get better soon. Entertainment has been dull compared to many other cruises. Smaller capacity may be partly to blame as crowds are so-so for shows. The had a comedic magician on Saturday night and he will be back Tuesday Beetles tribute Sunday night We are in port late tonight looks like we won’t dock till 3-3:3o instead of 1, but they will have another comedian in theater A vocalist will be either today or tomorrow for one of the theater shows Hope that helps 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brickwood Posted September 13, 2021 #9 Share Posted September 13, 2021 Agree with above. For testing just drop your luggage and find the nearest ncl staff to help. I may have seen something nearer the luggage drop for disabled testing Enjoyed our dinner at Q last night and the Beatles tribute. The ship decor is lovely. Had a daily in our room when we came back. They may be trying to discontinue the paper but it is so much handier than the app. SIL said there was someone near guest services walking about asking if you wanted paper copies in your stateroom 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wink87 Posted September 13, 2021 Author #12 Share Posted September 13, 2021 Well poo. I see rain on the lens of the bridge cam heading in to ISP. I hope it clears up! No matter, you are cruisin! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dejlig Ko Posted September 13, 2021 #13 Share Posted September 13, 2021 On board also this week also. Beautiful ship. Superb service. Odd but enjoyable that there are no lines. Testing and boarding a breeze. The comic magician Saturday was ok, lots of open seats. Beatles tribute last night very good and theater nearly full. Ocean Blue Saturday was excellent with stellar service as was Onda last night. Saturday lunch in Savor was just ok, but again the service level is outstanding. Breakfast in Savor yesterday was very good, again such wonderful service. Looks like it will be rainy today in ISP, but no excursion planned so will wait for the crowds to get off, then go for the gondola ride, maybe shuttle from there into Hoonah, walk back if weather permits. Just so glad to be at sea again! 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brickwood Posted September 14, 2021 #18 Share Posted September 14, 2021 Weather turned out great this afternoon. We got in earlier than they had advertised - about 2:30 I think. Was bummed that the gondola wasn't running though. Took the tram to Hoonah and explored a bit I asked one of the officers I ran in to how many guests this week and was told 2,228. Someone else was told slightly more but still under 2300. Having a fabulous time! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

leumas Posted September 14, 2021 #21 Share Posted September 14, 2021 No rain all day. Saw a few whales during day heading in Our guide was very excited that we brought the sun with us. I’m adding a couple pics. I’m not professional so don’t judge. Look close in the one pic and you can see the ship docked. Water is smooth today. Looking forward to glacier bay. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The gondola takes you from the pier to the cannery. The tram takes you from the cannery to town. Two different things. I do not know if there is a road from the pier to town/cannery.
