Pacific Northwest and Alaska Cruise – Day 10 – Skagway

Posted on
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. I went too!

Posted on
So 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!"

The 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.

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
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"

The 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.

Pacific Northwest and Alaska Cruise – Day 6 – Victoria

Posted on
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"
