@Host Jazzbeau Can you please refresh my memory... What is the last day to cruise b/4 Azamara & Celebrity separate completely? Still attempting to sneak in a last minute Azamara cruise, prior to the separation. Thanks!

Thanks for the shot of Sweetness... Sure do miss him

Dang Kmom... You & I should not be in the same room together! Our lives have too much happening @ the moment, truly always... For instance - I started reading your pre-review - way back when... Six weeks later, I finally made it from the first couple of posts to Page 4... Yes... All the way to Page 4!!! I know you've already been on the cruise... However, @ this point in the review... You Truly Need this Cruise & to Get on the Ship!!! Happy Sailing May EVERYTHING that follows be Worth the Effort to get There!

Thanks Again -- It's been a Fabulous Cruise for us!

It takes 2 Texas to make 1 Alaska 🙂

Molly -- we have been packing Kleenex brand tissues (large box) as we travel for years!!! I always make room for it in my bag, even if I have to eliminate something else - this allows room to pack something extra home 🙂 If we are traveling somewhere we know we will be able to buy Kleenex, on the first day - we will wait to buy vs. packing...

Thanks -- I now know what causes my sneezes in the sun or bright light... I only sneeze 2 & rarely 3 @ a time, as a rule... However, my sneezes are huge and generally catch me by surprise... Most times I am able to cover my face 🙂 I'll have to look into more info on the photic sneeze reflex...

@Dee2226 How soon is your trip?

We call that the Tourist / Cruise Effect... People have NO Clue - they are walking in a street... They string out 20 wide & 10 deep - just strolling along the extra large sidewalk... And they decide to cross "Willy Nilly" any old way... Crosswalk - "What's That?" You'd think people had never seen one b/4 Yes - we're polite 🙂 Simple Self-Preservation against a vehicular manslaughter or wrongful death charge! On the other hand... Tourist/Cruise do bring in a surge to the Economy... So there's that! Overall - 🤣🤣🤣

Just warning you... My first trip to Alaska was a Land Vacation only... That was AUG 2000... May 2001 started my move to Alaska 🙂 I do advise both cruise & land visits... We've done 2 Alaskan cruises - since moving here... We'd do more - but we really prefer not to leave Alaska in the summer, if we don't have to... We've also been to all the cruise locations & many others via vehicle ( Multiple Trips - Mustang, Jeep & Truck), flights & ferries, except Icy Point... Someday we'll get to Icy Point...
