Rare mking8288 Posted August 28 Author #179 Share Posted August 28 Photos 😄 United's B737-800/900 was older, IFE unit not working, WiFi not working and only 1 of 2 AFT restroom was not clogged and working. Plus the flight delayed by the flat. Legroom is tighter in economy, better in E Plus for extra upcharge. Fewer passengers coughing but we masked up, overall maybe 1 out 8 worn masks, mostly olders one going onto Alaska cruises (Princess rep waiting in arrival hall when we came out after going thru passport control & collected luggage ... which took a while) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stand corrected, 😑 "apologize" as it was a long day posting, at least we had referred to the area 😁 Feeling strange on Cunard, outside our NCL comfort zones and bringing other CC'ers along with our "codes" Glad to bring some smiles & humors.

Good late morning, yes this B&B is as described and after a mostly restful night of sleep, jetlag and nothing rolling or rocking ... awake and found a Keurig in the gallery (kitchenette) A light home breakfast till the girls wake up and then we'll be out of here to start our all day tour, stopping at Grandville Island, lobster rolls 😂 and sample the smoked salmon. More pre-cruise photo stories later. Strong & fast WiFi here "free" of course (included) hahaha 🤣 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare www3traveler Posted August 28 #195 Share Posted August 28 Henry, As always, Prayers and Best Wishes. Have not heard anything new about the landslides this past Sunday in Ketchikan this past Sunday. Cruise ships seem to be docking as scheduled. Postings say with the incoming rain storms over the next few days, more landslides are possible. Mandy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
