I did for the most part but I will plan on doing more HAL and not Princess. 

the Grand Princess is the wrong ship for Alaska.  They board folks on and off in the middle deck 7 and the entire Piazza area is very cold and crew put coats one.   And as mentioned in another reply, their covered indoor pool is a joke as doors to outside are left open.

Also, they did not care how wet floors were around any of the pools and I got into a nasty chat with their safety fellow.  Now RCI would be drying and mopping the floors but not on this ship.  His answer it will dry naturally (yea right no sun and 50 degrees).

 

oh well.  off to Boston on Wed  9/20 to pick up the Celebrity Summit for NE where I will just miss the bad weather.   Funny now Gulf of Alaska is having bad weather with high waves and delaying that ship Radiance OTS from leaving Seward by a day and will miss one glacier.  Grand Princess is nearby and will also miss a port.   my goodness the Gods are on my side as I dodge both weathers.

 

toodles and thanks for nice thoughts.   I did see bears and eagles.
