Thanks!! I know this cruise is a year and a half away, but I am super excited about it!!! It will be weird going on a cruise in a cooler environment instead of a warmer environment. And it will be even weirder not stopping at Castaway Cay on the last day. At least we won't have to worry about being on the computer 120 days out at 11:00 pm SHARP Central time to fight to book a cabana! And while I like the new ships, it will be nice to be on the classic ship again....sometimes it's just downright torture to have to walk back and forth on the Dream or Fantasy!!

Does anyone have any suggestions or tips for a first time Alaskan cruiser? I'm gonna start doing some research this weekend. Starting with the link you shared, Jennifer! Thanks!!

I am feeling the same way! Very excited and want to start planning NOW! Issue is we have a trip to Disney in June with the grand kids, a wedding in August and a new grand baby coming any day yet! LOL

I will need to keep Alaska simmering until September That said, please share any nuggets you find!

Thank you for your help with Emilee....she just absolutely adores you!!!!! This next year is going to fly by for you!! It's going to be a busy busy year!!

caitlinsdad - Thank you SOOOO much for posting the links to all the info! I'm already starting my research today!! Glad I am because it's slightly overwhelming! I found three excursions I want to do all at Ketchican. That's not good!!! LOL

 

[caitlinsdad]

Glad to I have been trying to take this cruise since 2011. Short on money in past, but this year it begins to turn around.

I'm excited about being on a classic ship! I just talked to my aunt who lives in Anchorage, she says it's warm to her in August, but it may be cold for us! Also, I was told that there are lots of mosquitoes in August...

Well they usually come out in the afternoon and we won't be out too late. Long pants and light long sleeves are in order though! At least there shouldn't be any mosquitos on the ship! I hope! Lol.

We're in. Both of us, which is me (Dan) and my DW (Sue). Along with all y'alls. We are very much looking forward to it!

We are considering today a "training day" for Alaska. We have about 6" of snow so far, and it is coming down at about 1" per hour. We will see how much we get tomorrow after it ends.
