i'm still enjoying your trip report!! as a mom of 3 (still sort of little) boys I always look for other families with 3 boys
Thank you! I hope you had a happy Canada Day last week btw. Being the only female in a house full of boys surely is an adventure!i'm still enjoying your trip report!! as a mom of 3 (still sort of little) boys I always look for other families with 3 boys
Thank you for reading! It sounds like you may have escaped Minnesota? I hope to someplace warmer! DCL has definitely ruined us for other cruise lines, too, as I knew it would! I am sure you will have a great time in September. We actually considered a September cruise because there was a sailing on my actual birthday then, but school schedules wouldn't allow it.Enjoying your report! Taking a first cruise with DCL is probably the best mistake we ever made. I think it completely ruined us for other cruise lines! We're taking our first Alaska cruise in September, just me and DH. I can't wait!
Oh, and I was born in Minnesota, so hey!
How exciting! I bet that's a great time to go for wildlife like bears and salmon. Please shout if you have any questions about anything. Would love to help if I can.I’m sailing in August to Alaska so really enjoying reading this. Can’t wait for the next instalment
Fantastic! When in the season did you go? Thanks for reading along.Great report! We sailed Alaska last year on the Wonder and loved it! It’s nice to re-live the trip through your report.
How sad about your previous cruise! Did your sickness last long? Possible sickness was a big worry of mine in advance of our trip. We got trip insurance and tried our best to practice good preventive healthcare in advance but as I said, we did have one son get sick onboard. Thankfully he bounced back quickly, but if he hadn't a redo would be so tempting. It's just so amazing there.Following along. We booked our first Disney cruise and we chose Alaska in June 2020. We went on Princess last year but I ended up getting sick so its a redo and we are really exciting to try DCL!

Thanks! We are so glad the weather enabled us to enjoy eating outside most of the time we weren't at the main dining rooms. The views were always so amazing.Love your pics of Cabana's, beautiful views on the entire Alaska cruise!!!
You will love it as a solo traveler. One of the days of our trip I was on my own a lot because Sam was sick and the twins were in Vibe and the cast members and other guests were so friendly that I always felt super-comfortable whatever I was doing. There were so many great activities throughout the cruise, but one of my favorite things was just sitting on the lounge chairs on Deck 4 with hot chocolate.Thanks, I’m really looking forward to the excursions I booked and really want to meet the characters in their Alaskan outfits. I’m also a solo traveller, a little unsure if it’ll be awkward. I know I’ll have fun though
Nice!! Did you get very close? How was your weather?I loved glacier day! It's just amazing. We went the third week of June last year.
Thank you so much! It's fun to remember the details as I'm writing.Love your report and photos
Ha! That's funny about the souvenirs. You have great taste! Those Minnie plushes were popular, too. They ran out during our sailing.Great updates! It looks like we have similar tastes in souvenirs, LOL. I bought the Minnie plush, the shiny aqua coffee mug (I LOVE this!!!), and the Alaska lanyard, too. And maybe a couple of other things, ha ha.
Glacier Day was one of my favorite days from the entire trip. I think my only regret was not trying the pea soup in a bread bowl. I was still so full from our Palo brunch earlier that morning. But I should have forced myself to make room for it anyway.
Looking forward to the next installment. And I love how your son did sketches and then had the characters sign them. Very cool.
I'm so glad! You mentioned excursions. May I ask what you've booked? There were lots of good options.Your report is getting me very excited for my upcoming trip!
