Sunshine State Native

Thank you. It was a great trip. Too bad HAL has decided to now fly between Dawson and Fairbanks rather than do the "Top of the World Highway". I believe they are also not doing the train on one of the sections as well next year. Too bad.

Thanks Glen,

I felt I had relived the cruise tour we took with you and Jane. I would not do it again, but did enjoy it. We like the 14 day SEA ANC SEA on HAL. We try to get up that way once

or twice a year. We like the YUL/YQB to or from FLL too.

We love Canada, AK and SEA. It is nice to get away from the FL heat.

We are at the SEA airport for our flight home. Cuisine, and service were fantastic on our cruise.

 

Only regret was that we didn't spend much time at the Hubbard Glacier.....I sent a note to Captain Smit, but he didn't get back to me.:(

 

Seward was spectacular....would love it if a ship would overnight there!

 

DH is thrilled about a possible dress code change. Majority of passengers looked like they cared about there appearance. I did see a lot of smokers.

What is the change? We are in Ketchikan today. Nice and cool. It rained a little in the AM. Took the free Walmart bus for a few supplies.

We are anchored at our last stop in Alaska and have had a nice day in Sitka. The program said chance of rain and it should have said a chance of sunshine. I had to walk on the shady side of Lincoln Avenue. Went to the drug store on Lincoln and had a chocolate soda--the old fashioned kind. They still have a soda fountain. All and all it has been a wonderful cruise even with the technical issue. Paul Pappas--the piano player--was supposed to get on in Anchorage and since there is no plane to Seward he flew to Homer and got on there. He did an outstanding job in the performance last night.

Did you tender in and not dock? We were there in June on Celebrity. I think we docked away from Sitka, but were bused to town.

Weather cleared as we were leaving Kodiak Island and are not cutting across the Gulf of Alaska to the mighty Hubbard Glacier. Ride this evening is very nice.

Are you on the AUG 10th Statendam cruise?

THX for all the info.

The diver went down about 3:30 PM and when I checked again about 5PM he was gone. No word so far and no news means good news.

Thank you for the information. Will you be working on the AUG 10th cruise?

Thank you for the link.

Prayers for all involved.

We have traveled that route by bus from Seward to ANC and ANC to Seward.

Another reason to only take a ship's tour, especially when there is only one road in and out.
