Thanks bluesfan. We went to Klondike which was a lot of fun.

I didn’t get to explore Seward at all so I shouldn’t have judged. But I love Vancouver and didn’t get to do much when we were there!
...

Which brewery did you like in Skagway? I think going southbound is the better option. Ending up in Vancouver is a lot cooler than Seward :)



Thanks Daw!



There are a lot of ppl who do...

Thanks Jen!



You’re welcome and glad I could bring back some memories



It’s so crazy how unspoiled huge swaths of Alaska are!

We took a train from Denali down to a town called Takeetna. It was so enjoyable. We sat upstairs with large windows and a glass ceiling and there was a dining car below
...

Saturday we woke up early again and did a bus tour of Denali national park. Just breathtaking.

Got to see Denali and here are some other nature shots. Our guide said that Denali has a...

Also here are some sunset shots from the shop and from our room in anchorage. All taken after 10pm and a couple taken around 11:45.

Let me get this wrapped up.

We disembarked Friday at 6:45am and began two very long travel days to Denali. Luckily my sister and nieces didn’t come - it wouldn’t have been fun for them. We were...

Thanks, I still have a couple of days to recap - we went into the interior after the cruise was over. Should finish tonight.

All pics are from my phone! I had used my sister’s nice camera for NZ...

My nieces tried the non-hot tubs. They weren’t heated at all so it definitely wasn’t warm enough. Some kids had wet suits and did use the pools.

Being prepared with all that stuff helped with my...

Thank you! There was one ship cruising at the same time that had to turn back to Seattle bc it experienced a power outage!



I hope you get to go! Celebrity may not be the best line if you want...

It was a feat by my mom to organize it! I handled dinner reservations on the trip which also wasn’t easy.



Thanks Darryl!



It’s really a great way to see the coast of Alaska! Hard to...

Day 7 was an at-sea day that began early with a visit to hubbard glacier. It was a chilly but clear day and we had spectacular views of the glacier and ice calving (or breaking off of it).
...

Ferry/bus views and a beer before we got back on the ship.

Skagway

Our last port was Skagway, AK. My sister and I visited a wildlife refuge here. First took a 45 min ferry ride, then a 45 min bus ride and spent 2 hours at the refuge...

Juneau was a super cute town! Again had gorgeous weather. This was the one day I picked poorly with my excursions. I had originally booked dog sledding on a glacier at the next port (Skagway) but...

Day 4 was spent in Icy Strait Point/Hoonah AK - another island in southeast Alaska. The dock was only big enough for one ship so it was interesting to watch the other ship’s passengers get ferried...

Oh the photo of the RV in the water, there’s a backstory.

Apparently the owner retired and didn’t want to have to pay for a spot in an RV park, so he strapped his RV to a barge thingy and is just...

First port day. Ketchikan, Alaska. Fifth largest city in Alaska and its population ranges between 8k-9k depending on the season.
...

Surprised at the amount of selling/up selling on the ship for drinks packages or specialty dining. The first day and a half, we were accosted more than 15 times about both things - at the buffet,...

July 19 - first day of cruise

I was very nervous for the cruise. I had a wide assortment of seasickness remedies - for me and also my fam.
...

A little delayed but here’s my Alaska report! It’ll take me a couple days to write it up but let’s get started.

My mom and stepdad both have milestone birthdays this year so they decided to take...
