Pacific Northwest and Alaska Cruise – Day 10 – Skagway

Posted on by Laura Gilbreath
Another terrific port day! But it’s been a very long day and I’m pretty tired – not sure how much I will get done. The short version: It was a cloudy and overcast day in Skagway, and raining lightly when we left the ship for our Alpine Snowshoe and White Pass Railway excursion. We took … Continue reading "Pacific Northwest and Alaska Cruise – Day 10 – Skagway"

Pacific Northwest and Alaska Cruise – Day 8 – At Sea

Posted on by Laura Gilbreath
What day is it…what time is it? I’ve really lost track – it doesn’t matter very much here – well, except for being late to dinner, I suppose. 🙂 We had a time change last night and we’re on Alaska time now – an hour behind Pacific time. Extra hour of sleep last night – … Continue reading "Pacific Northwest and Alaska Cruise – Day 8 – At Sea"

Pacific Northwest and Alaska Cruise – Day 8 Part 2

Posted on by Laura Gilbreath
I didn’t get a chance to finish the blog entry last night because the internet service was just awful when we got back from dinner. I gave up after a couple of minutes, but then it took me over 20 minutes to get a “log off” screen, so I wasn’t sure until this morning that … Continue reading "Pacific Northwest and Alaska Cruise – Day 8 Part 2"

Unexpectedly beautiful – we were expecting cloudy skies and showers. And it was also wonderful that we were NOT actually getting off the ship yet, … Continue reading "Pacific Northwest and Alaska Cruise – Day 7 – Vancouver Arrival/Sailaway"

Pacific Northwest and Alaska Cruise – Day 6 – Victoria

Posted on by Laura Gilbreath
Victoria – this is the port I’ve been most looking forward to on this cruise! The day dawned gray and rainy, though – funny, there weren’t nearly as many people out on deck for our arrival in port as there were when we went into San Francisco! 🙂 We had another fireboat performing World of … Continue reading "Pacific Northwest and Alaska Cruise – Day 6 – Victoria"

Pacific Northwest and Alaska Cruise – Day 5 – At Sea

Posted on by Laura Gilbreath
I was either tired or I’m getting used to the creaking noises, since I slept better last night. Seas didn’t seem quite as rough, either. It’s another at sea day for us – we have a lot of miles to go to get to Victoria, though. But we’re moving fast (22+ knots), so the captain … Continue reading "Pacific Northwest and Alaska Cruise – Day 5 – At Sea"

Pacific Northwest and Alaska Cruise – Day 4 – San Francisco

Posted on by Laura Gilbreath
We both slept great without all of the creaking going on – and we actually slept in and didn’t get up until almost 8:30!!! It was another absolutely gorgeous day in San Francisco – here’s the view from our stateroom verandah at about 8:45 this morning. And it has ended up being a much warmer … Continue reading "Pacific Northwest and Alaska Cruise – Day 4 – San Francisco"
