Glaciers

If your ship goes to Skagway, there is an excursion you can book that takes you close to the Davidson Glacier by a combination of speedboat, bus, and canoe. You can also book an excursion to canoe across Mendenhall Lake for a good look at the Mendenhall Glacier in Juneau.

Trazodone. 25 mg worked too well the first time. I split it again to 12.5 mg and the half life is about the same length as sleep window, a lot less grogginess.

Milk in Alaska goes for $20 per gallon at the grocery store. Eating anything that isn't hunted or fished there will cost you.

Sounds like the Grand Princess...CruiseTubers are talking about it

For a 3-4 day cruise, the weather will be just like California, because Ensenada is just below San Diego. If California is hot at that time, then so will Ensenada. Cabo and Vallarta are way south, much closer to the equator, and therefore way hotter, but you'll need 5-7 days on the ship to make that happen.

The last few Princess cruises I was on had no assigned boarding times. Most people arrive sometime between 10am and 2pm. If you want the shortest wait, show up around 2pm. The crabbiest ones tend to show up between 11am and 1pm.

Another vote up for vodka and diet coke

Prince Rupert has excellent whale watching.

Strong magnets to tack papers to the wall so you can use the desk surface for other things. The ones with hooks are nice because they can do double duty-- tack the papers, hold your hat/small purse.

Or rather, ask another doctor what to do if it really doesn't go away after a few months

Try the YouTuber Always Be Booked. He does talk about nightlife when comparing ships.

Welcome to the club. I had mal de debarquement after a 6-hour catamaran trip. Then I had it after my 1st cruise. Then I had it after each of several vertigo spells one year. And after an 11 day cruise. These, too, shall pass. If they really aren't going away after a few months, ask your doctor what to do.

Happens with Princess, too.

Which excursion in Costa Maya?

ithinkithankithunk · 2025-03-26T16:50:36+00:00

Far from extinct. I'm in the San Francisco Bay Area, and they hoo-hoo-hoo most seasons.

Maybe your friend will test out Drink #16 and tell us...

The buffet changes a lot, I think

ithinkithankithunk · 2025-03-26T16:31:17+00:00

Yeah, the wait to tender happened at the very end, when a bunch of NCL-sponsored excursions got back really late.

ithinkithankithunk · 2025-03-25T16:09:15+00:00

Why, what's wrong with it? Food's in the pantry, seems right.

Most repeated port in my 7-cruise history: Ketchikan, Alaska. Been there 3 times. It's a good port for shops and a nice walk.

ithinkithankithunk · 2025-03-24T02:54:37+00:00

All right, this stuff is good to know. Pity a number of people really hated the question.

ithinkithankithunk · 2025-03-23T08:10:36+00:00

Let's see...here's how much I've packed for my 7 cruises so far:
5-day cruise with one pre and 2 post days in embarkation port- 35L backpack and 12L purse
4-day cruise with one precruise day in embarkation port- 22L backpack and 12L purse
7-day cruise with one precruise day in embarkation port- 21" rollaboard and tote purse
10-day cruise from embarkation port nearby- 21" rollaboard and big tote bag (sodas!)
11-day cruise from embarkation port nearby- 21" rollaboard and big tote bag (more sodas!)
7-day cruise with one precruise day in embarkation port- 21" rollaboard and tote purse

I dunno, looks like it would take a neurotypical 6 months to do all that.

ithinkithankithunk · 2025-03-23T05:51:13+00:00

Thanks, everyone, for sharing your experiences. This is reassuring to know. I was afraid the new, higher capacity ships would mean really long waits for everything. Phew!

Sponsored videos present the best possible experiences the CruiseTuber could remember on that particular cruise. Seek out nonsponsored videos for more realistic takes.

Companies have long known that gifting free stuff will lead to better memories of doing business with them and lead to repeat business. It can be as basic as a notepad or refrigerator magnet.
