Who is booked for an Alaskan Cruise in 2015?

We are booked September 2, northbound from Vancouver on Princess Coral. First-time cruises and very excited!

 

We've cruised on the Coral twice, once to AK. It is a great ship for AK. Have a great first cruise.

Thanks! We did a good bit of research on the itinerary, but we hadn't heard much about the Coral itself. We'll be in Alaska, so I'm sure we'll be happy, but that's good to hear!

There are some great viewing locations on the Coral that most of the pax won't know about. If you go all the way forward on the B, C, and D decks and go through the doors marked Crew Only (don't worry, it's OK) you will find a great viewing balcony. Since most of the pax don't know about these places they are usually uncrowded. It is unshielded so it will be colder then on the Lido but you don't have blue panels tinting the view and it is easy to duck inside for a bit to warm up.

 

I always thought that the Coral was a happy ship. Everyone on the crew was friendly and happy which made for happy pax. The smaller size is much better for AK, IMHO. So many people prefer the big ships but I like the smaller ships for AK.

I did because I am putting a group together and I wanted everyone to be able to schedule time and also some people need more time to be able to pay for it

The reason we book a year in advance for some cruises, is that the really popular ones fill up fast, like Panama. Others we book 2 months out, because we get unbelievable deals.

We are booked on the NCL Pearl for September 6, 2015. It's our first trip to Alaska and are very excited. DIY on all of our excursions.

You can take the city bus to Totem Bight Park in Ketchikan and see the totems there.

 

We are taking the HAL 14 night cruise on the Statendam on July 27. It will be our 50th anniversary celebration cruise.

 

Congratulations to y'all! We celebrated 40 years this past Dec., so we're calling this - May 13th - our anniversary cruise. It will be our first trip to Alaska...we're so excited!

 

Thank you to all on CC, the info is priceless.

Our anniversary is July 31 so we will be on our cruise for our celebration. I wonder if they do anything special on the ship for a 50th.
