May 6th – Our first real port of call in Alaska is Skagway! Skagway is one of the oldest towns in Alaska and is the smallest port of call you will visit on the Disney Wonder Alaska cruise 2011.

Pacific Northwest and Alaska Cruise – Day 10 – Skagway
Posted onAnother 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. I went too!
Posted onSo to make up at least half of an AllEars full house, I too went on the DCL Pacific repositioning cruise from Long Beach to Vancouver. Unlike the rest of those lucky stiffs, I had to go rejoin Reality (such as it is,) before they continued on to Alaska, but it was still a great … Continue reading "Pacific Northwest. I went too!"
Disney ‘Round the USA and Canada — May 5, 2011
Posted onThe Disney Wonder is in Alaska in a big way!! May 5th we visited Tracy Arm. But before that, we had a morning of purpose and fun. The AllEars Alaskan Adventure cruisers met at 8am for a symbolic Walk Stroll the Planks to raise awareness of Breast Cancer. Once again, I was joined by survivors … Continue reading "Disney ‘Round the USA and Canada — May 5, 2011"
Pacific Northwest and Alaska Cruise – Day 9 – Tracy Arm
Posted onTracy Arm! Our first real day IN Alaska, though we didn’t set foot on land at all. It’s been a very busy, but really wonderful, day. The day started off cloudy – with low clouds, so we couldn’t see the shore, but after about an hour we actually had some blue sky and sunshine. I … Continue reading "Pacific Northwest and Alaska Cruise – Day 9 – Tracy Arm"
Pacific Northwest and Alaska Cruise – Day 8 – At Sea
Posted onWhat 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 onI 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"
Pacific Northwest and Alaska Cruise – Day 7 – Vancouver Arrival/Sailaway
Posted onThe Alaska cruise has finally begun! We’re all very excited to be on board the ship and headed for Alaska. We woke up to a beautiful morning in Vancouver, BC. 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"

Fellow AllEars cohort Laura Gilbreathand My next cabin neighbor for this sailing, Gary and Carol Cruise!
Pacific Northwest and Alaska Cruise – Day 6 – Victoria
Posted onVictoria – 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"
