Last night’s production show, Rock Opera showcas Last night’s production show, Rock Opera showcased Discovery Princess’ new Guest Tenor, Shea Rafferty. Another first was the fact that the stage lifts were in operation. (The lifts haven’t been used in probably about a year). But the huge achievement of the night was that yesterday evening the ship was rocking quite a bit, and yet the show still went on! Although a few of the dance segments were not performed (for obvious reasons), the cast beautifully performed Rock Opera, as always. 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏 #princesscruises #discoveryprincess #cruise #singers #singerslife #dancers #dancersofinsta
Last night and this morning we had 12 to 15 foot w Last night and this morning we had 12 to 15 foot waves. What is your tolerance level for rough weather? 🚢 Discovery Princess left Skagway yesterday evening and today is a full sea day. 🚢 Usually you can’t feel the ship moving with 12 to 15 foot waves, but today we are cruising into them so the ship is moving quite a bit. 🚢 By the afternoon, the waves were down to 10 to 12 feet, but still the direction of the waves makes it uncomfortable for some cruisers. 🚢 How is your tolerance level for moderate to rough seas, on a scale of 1 to 10, 10 being you LOVE feeling the ship move? #cruise #cruiseship #cruiselife #alaska #cruiseshiplife #roughweather
Watch two guests arrive late back to the cruise sh Watch two guests arrive late back to the cruise ship. 🚢 Although they weren’t “pier runners”, these two guests arrived back to the cruise ship at 5:02pm when all aboard for guests was at 4:30pm. 🚢 The Discovery Princess was scheduled to leave the Skagway dock at 5pm, but the cruise ship still waited for them. 🚢 Why did the ship wait? The reason was because these guests had been on a ship organized tour. 🚢 Once they were back onboard, the gangway was closed and moved out of the way so the ship could depart. 🚢 How much time do you allow yourself to make it back onboard? #discoveryprincess #princesscruises #cruise #skagwayalaska #skagway #alaska
In Skagway, Alaska, guests and crew are not permit In Skagway, Alaska, guests and crew are not permitted to walk on the Railroad Dock. 🚢 The cruise ship that is docked on Railroad Dock Aft uses shuttle buses (and shuttles like you see in this video) to transport guests and crew to/from the ship. 🚢 The cruise ship docked at Railroad Dock Forward uses water shuttles to/from the ship. #princesscruises #discoveryprincess #cruise #cruiselife #skagway #skagwayalaska
What’s the weather like in Juneau, Alaska today? What’s the weather like in Juneau, Alaska today? 🌧️ Today while Discovery Princess is in Juneau, Alaska we have another rainy day. 🚢 The great thing about Alaska’s ports of call is that most of the shore excursions still run, rain or shine. 💡When packing for an Alaska cruise, you definitely need to bring a waterproof jacket. Also pack a thick fleece and a lightweight fleece, depending on the temperature of the day. #princesscruises #discoveryprincess #cruise #cruiseship #packingtips

Today’s weather in Ketchikan, Alaska has been ra Today’s weather in Ketchikan, Alaska has been rainy and cold with temperatures as low as 9 degrees C (48 degrees F). Winds have also been gusting over 30 knots. 🚢 My original plan was to do a hike, but so much rain and no visibility on the nearby mountains, made me decide to do that another day. 🚢 Instead, I walked around downtown Ketchikan and got about 6,000 steps in. 🚢 I also placed a special order at @forgetmenotchocolates for chocolate covered Lorna Dune cookies that will be ready for me to pick up next week. 🚢 One other highlight was I got to meet another wife of a cruise ship officer, @christinekesteloo while she is working at Milano Jewelry this week. 🚢 Would you go ashore in these conditions or would you stay onboard? #cruise #discoveryprincess #princesscruises #hollandamerica #cruiselife #weather #raining #rainyday #rainydays☔️

What are the chances of seeing whales on an Alaska What are the chances of seeing whales on an Alaska cruise? 🚢 Today I had the opportunity to be on the bridge with Tony and while I was looking out to the right of the cruise ship’s bow, I saw a whale. 🐋 The whale appeared to be waving with its fin as it swam near the starboard side of the cruise ship. 🚢 Although it appeared “near” to the ship, when taking a video, you can see that it’s really not that close considering the actual size of the whale. 🐋It’s still pretty awesome to see a whale in its natural habitat. And the feeling never gets old seeing them again and again in Alaska. 🚢 We have been seeing whales on every cruise of this season so far. We typically see them after departure from Ketchikan and also on our way to Victoria. One day I even saw one swimming in the port of Skagway. 🚢 The officer of the watch will make an announcement on open decks and in the World Fresh Marketplace buffet area, when whales are spotted. #whales #whalesofinstagram #alaska #cruise #discoveryprincess #princesscruises #cruiselife
Last night, when the USCG helicopter wasn’t avai Last night, when the USCG helicopter wasn’t available to do a medical evacuation of one of Discovery Princess’ guests, one of Holland America’s ships was able to help us. ➡️ Late last night, the USCG notified Discovery Princess that they wouldn’t be able to provide a helicopter to medically transport one of our guests to a shoreside medical facility. ➡️ Discovery Princess was Victoria bound after leaving Skagway yesterday evening, while HAL’s Zaandam was enroute to Juneau. ➡️ The two ships met each other in the early hours of the morning. Discovery Princess put one of her water shuttles in the water and safely transported the guest over to the Zaandam. ➡️ The Zaandam took the Discovery Princess’ guest onboard and brought them to Juneau today where they will be able to receive further medical care. 🚢 Amazing teamwork, dedication, and collaboration to perform this medical evacuation. #princesscruises #hollandamericaline #hollandamerica #cruise #cruiselife #cruiseship #alaska

In Skagway, Princess Cruises hosts an event called In Skagway, Princess Cruises hosts an event called Puppies in the Piazza, on all fleet ships coming to Skagway, Alaska. ➡️ Iditarod champion Ryan Redington brings two of his sled dogs onboard for guests to see, while he shares his story about Iditarod racing and raising sled dogs. ➡️ Every year, Ryan brings puppies from a new litter. Each litter he names them based on a theme. ➡️ This year’s puppies were named after the show, Cheers. Today Ryan brought Diane and Carla. Last week we had Cliff and Norm onboard. ➡️ Last year Ryan named a litter of puppies after the names of Cruise Directors, such as Cole and Olivia. ➡️ Before the puppies are brought out to meet the guests, cruise staff play with them. This helps the puppies get worn out, but also so they will be comfortable to be held by the cruise staff as well. #cruise #discoveryprincess #princesscruises #puppies #puppiesinstagram #sleddogs #sleddogsofinstagram

Rudi Sodamin is a Master Chef and the head of culinary arts for Princess Cruises. ➡️ Have you eaten in The Catch by Rudi or at Love by Britto, the Specialty Dining restaurant on the Sun Princess? Both restaurants were Rudi’s vision with menus curated by him. #princesscruises #discoveryprincess #cruise #cruiselife #dining #culinary #culinaryarts #crew
This morning Discovery Princess was in Endicott Ar This morning Discovery Princess was in Endicott Arm and there were so many big pieces of ice. 🚢 Thankfully we were still able to cruise all the way into Dawes Glacier. 🚢 Occasionally, if there is too much ice in Endicott Arm, then the cruise ship can’t cruise all the way into the fjord and see the glacier because it’s not safe to navigate. #glaciers #discoveryprincess #princesscruises #ice #cruise #alaska #alaskacruise
Did you know you can take an excursion in Endicott Did you know you can take an excursion in Endicott Arm and see Dawes Glacier up close? 🚢 Guests can book an excursion that leaves from the cruise ship at 7am and the tour boat takes you closer to the glacier than the cruise ship can get to. 🚢 The guests are on the tour boat from 7am to 1pm and meet the cruise ship back in Juneau. 🚢 The tour boat that took the Discovery Princess guests is owned and operated by Allen Marine Tours. It was a 78 foot catamaran, twin-hull design, named St. Nona. 🚢 The Princess Cruises price of the tour is $499.95 🚢 There are limited spots for this tour (only 150), so it sells out fast. ➡️ Would you book this tour, or would you rather stay on the cruise ship, watching the glacier from your balcony or from on the top deck? #princesscruises #discoveryprincess #cruise #alaska #glaciers #glacierview #alaskacruise #tourboat
