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!"
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"
Pacific Northwest and Alaska Cruise – Day 5 – At Sea
Posted onI 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 onWe 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"
Pacific Northwest and Alaska Cruise – Day 3 – San Francisco
Posted onKind of a rough night – neither of us slept well. There’s something about the ceiling in our cabin and it creaks and rattles as the ship moves. About 2:00 in the morning we started rolling – not sure if the captain slowed down or if the seas got heavier, but we were feeling a … Continue reading "Pacific Northwest and Alaska Cruise – Day 3 – San Francisco"

Pacific Northwest and Alaska Cruise – Day 2 – At Sea
Posted onOne of the best things about cruising is the At Sea days. Time to kick back, relax, and enjoy everything there is to do on board ship. Ok, so there’s so much to do that it’s really more of a chance to enjoy a small fraction of what there is to do on board ship. … Continue reading "Pacific Northwest and Alaska Cruise – Day 2 – At Sea"
Disney ‘Round the USA and Canada — Friday April 29, 2011

Sunrise is at 6:15 and we should be under the Golden Gate bridge shortly thereafter. It is 50 degrees outside with strong wids. Our boat, she is … Continue reading "Disney ‘Round the USA and Canada — Friday April 29, 2011"
Pacific Northwest and Alaska Cruise – Day 1 – Embarkation
Posted onSo…we’re on the ship – finally. The embarkation process was not nearly as efficient as we are used to! We left our house about 9:15 – we were at the port by 11:20. Lee left me and the bags and returned the car – it was close enough that he actually walked back from the … Continue reading "Pacific Northwest and Alaska Cruise – Day 1 – Embarkation"
Pacific Northwest and Alaska Cruise – Today’s the Day!
Posted onIt’s finally here! Almost a year and a half since we first heard about it at the D23 Expo, and more than a year after we booked it, it’s finally time to begin our cruise of California and the Pacific Northwest, followed by Alaska! I’m so excited. The last few days have kind of dragged … Continue reading "Pacific Northwest and Alaska Cruise – Today’s the Day!"
