I only did 1 excursion in Sitka because that was the only stop I hadn't been to before. A couple of the others I just disembarked and walked around. It was the very last cruise of the season and it wasn't busy. I'm not sure if I want to go on one this cruise or not. If I see something where I might get to see a turtle I'll definitely try it.

LaGuardia

Best advice! I ended up reserving a car service that was recommended.

Thanks!! I'll try that.

Crusin Karen Any tips on getting from the airport to the cruise terminal? I plan on taking a taxi. Would Uber be better? Our flight arrives pretty early so we should have plenty of time even if we have minor issues.

So far I've only gone by myself once. But it's either that or stay home. My mom's health isn't well enough that she can travel much by plane anymore. It's hard getting all her stuff through the airport, I need a lot of help from the airport staff. All the games I'm bringing should be simple enough to teach really quickly. We aren't taking any excursions so far. But if I see something that looks fun I might go on one.

I cruised solo last year in Alaska. It was nice. We will probably just stay on ship most of the time. Hard for my mom to get around and we like just relaxing. I'd definitely use the ships excursions if I was alone, too. Gotta be safe. Crusin Karen - I'm Karin. LOL You can hang out with us!

My mom (71) and I (49) will be on this cruise. We've never been on a cruise on a holiday before. I usually look for those where schools are not on break. I'll be packing a few card and printable board games. I know some of them are small children's games but I thought they would help pass the time and could be fun. We have been to most of the ports before Snakes and Ladders Dots and Boxes Battleship Wahoo Monopoly Deal Red Light, Green Light, 1 2 3 Uno Several decks of cards for Gin, Rummy, Go Fish, Old Maid, Crazy 8's, etc. Dice for casual Bunco, Beetle, Shut the Box, Left Center Right, Pig. Tenzi could be fun if enough people brought their own dice (10 for each player). This list sounds like a lot but it really isn't if you print out the board. If you see two ladies (one on a scooter) playing cards, dice, or board games on laminated paper, ask for ProfSnap (no, I'm not a professor, but I love Harry Potter and I couldn't afford the real Professor Snape) and say Hi. We'd be happy for you to play a few rounds with us. I also Crochet and will probably have yarn near. I'll be looking for an un hosted fiber arts group on the ship.
