travel cruising the world grand princess alaska around the ship
This was our second cruise on the Grand Princess so we were quite familiar with the ship... but were not prepared for the surprises.
Because of CoVid, the ship was only about 2/3 full and masks were required inside at all times.
It didn't seem to matter to some passengers and I tested positive with CoVid on the 6th day of the 14 day cruise.
We had already visited Ketchikan where I had a good time kayaking Clover Pass, walking around Juneau and Skagway, and enjoying Glacier Bay.
Princess moved us to an isolation deck with a balcony stateroom and we spent the rest of the cruise quarantined there.
Princess did their best to provide us with anything we needed including room service, dining from any of the restaurants, and free internet.
With the balcony, we still got to see Hubbard Glacier and Glacier Bay the second time... this time with sunshine.
Still, not the way to enjoy a relaxing vacation...
