For those just off the Alaska cruise...

Isn't that also the Frozen dinner menu? If so, you'd need second seating to get that MDR experience.

Yeah. We are late dinning

We have second seating so that is good to hear! As for the Frozen Musical was that the night of Juneau then? Also thanks to everyone for all your help!!

Is the chicken parmesan on any of the MDR menus? I hear about it recommended for Palo brunch but won't be doing Palo this cruise

Nope. As far as I know it's only at Palo Brunch.

I just saw they had some local beer on board a couple weeks ago. Anyone know what Alaska Brewing varieties are on board? Also any idea what's on tap in Crown & Fin?

 

[DLM1980]

I snapped pictures of the crown and fin taps. Hopefully they upload to my Dropbox soon. Got 1 bar and 3G on the ship

Any idea as to when the Wonder comes into Port? I would like to get up early the morning of embarkation and see it pull in.. I am not at the Pan PAcific but will be 10 min away so its doable...

Do you remember what the number of your excursion was for Juneau? Was it JU01 or JU30?
Also did how did you book the whale watching?

We had a great time! Tianas place was great. We loved the naturalist talks, the ventriloquist, and the magicians.

We had TP TR AP TP TR AP TP.

The first 3 days were what I think were the rotational menus, we skipped our second TP for Palo, and our third TP had the beignets. Im guessing they also did the beignets the 2nd time there.

Excursions:

Skagway: We did the Bus Up Train Down with Chilkoot. We really enjoyed this, we felt like this day was very cold but the pics we got were incredible. We were supposed to dogsled here too but it got cancelled. We rebooked for Juneau with Disney.

Juneau: We did whale watching in the morning with Harv & Marv. Didn't see many whales but we had fun. I think the summer is better for whale watching. In the afternoon we did the Dog Sledding on the Mendenhall with Temsco Helicopters (thru Disney) - this was INCREDIBLE. By far the highlight of the trip. At $1278 for two it was not cheap but I feel it was worth it. They said they had not seen tours in 6 days due to weather, so I feel extremely fortunate to have gotten to do this.

Ketchikan: We walked around and shopped and ate at one of the restaurants. Perfect weather.

I was not impressed with debarkation/the port. We waited over an hour at the exit of the ship to be allowed to get off (not Disney's fault, the port can't handle more than so many at a time it seems). Then we waited over an hour for a cab, we barely made our flight (12:55PM). ETA: If I had known , I would have done express walk off and dragged our luggage with us.

Let me know if you have any questions!

Hi! It was JU01. Would highly recommend. It was on the mendenhall. Looks like JU30 goes to another glacier?

We booked the whale watching with harv & marv the day before over the phone (I figured our Skagway dog sledding might get cancelled, so I wanted to wait and book anything for Juneau until after Skagway)

Still snacks in the Crown and Fin at night? Around 10ish still?

Yes

Thanks! Do they have any special Alaska pins or blankets?

Don't want you to think I forgot about your question. I looked at the pin racks and walked around and around and around and didn't see any. Eventually everything blurred together but I don't think I saw any. Either I missed them or they were sold out already

I did not see any special blankets just the woven dcl throw you could hang or use and a dcl fleece but it didn't say Alaska

 

[KayKayJS]

I got a DCL Alaska blanket as my purchase with purchase on the May 22 cruise.

Last year the Alaska pins were at the checkout counters, not on the pin racks, you could very easily miss them. We were very surprised they still had them as we were the 2nd to last Alaska sailing. (Ended up buying 3 of the pins.)

Like I said I walked around and around and around, looking at everything. Even spotted the hat my partner lost two days prior on the back counter

The folks in the store were all "back again I see".

But I looked at anything and everything there is a chance I missed it. I recall seeing "mystery" pin bags at the register but that was it

I am wondering now if that blanket that KayKayJS got was the same one and I just missed that too. I had read the sign for it and it jusy said dcl fleece.

I do remember seeing Alaska magnets though

Thanks for taking a look and spending that much time looking for them!

We were able to buy an Alaskan fleece blanket "with the purchase of $40 in other merchandise" duty-free alcohol included. I will try to snap a photo of it later today and post it. May 22nd cruise.
