Check out http://www.roamans.com. They ship to Canada, and the prices are reasonable.

Thanks for sharing your wedding video. Your wedding was beautiful!

Last day of 45 year career in nursing.
Tomorrow is the first day unemployed since I was 16 years old!
:D:D:D:D:D
Congrats! That must feel awesome!

I am hoping to retire in 5 years, but it will probably be closer to 7. Every Friday as I leave work, I say to myself "One week closer to retirement!". lol.

You look beautiful! The dress really suits you.

We chose HAL for Alaska based on these factors:
- Departure from Vancouver, so you cruise the Inside Passage. Beautiful scenery, and more sheltered from rough seas. This turned out to be a very good decision as the seas were very rough on our sailing. We really only felt them when we hit open water, but cruisers on other cruise lines that left from Seattle had it really bad.
- Glacier Bay. I had read that it was beautiful, and a must-see, and it was.
- Return voyage, rather than one-way, as that is what we wanted.
I prefer Carnival, but for Alaska, HAL (Zuiderdam) turned out perfectly, and yes, it was more expensive, but I figured we might only go once.
We got a spa pass for this trip, and it was so beautiful sitting in the heated lounge chairs and watching the scenery go by. I have very fond memories of that cruise.

What a pretty dress! Have fun at your wedding, and jumping in the ocean. Looking forward to the pics.

What a great review! I loved it! Your daughters are beautiful, and they look like they had a ball.
I lol'ed about the towel animals. They look like babies.

I am very sorry for your loss.
Just wanted to let you know that I really enjoyed your review. You have a beautiful family.

This is bringing back memories of our Mediterranean cruise two years ago.

It's not that I hate changing lenses its that in a place like AK you'll be doing it all the time. Take a look at the Tamron (18 - 270). You might find it a fit. I have seen it recently for under $400 (with rebate).
That's the lens that I use for travel on my T3i, and I really like it. At home I use my nifty fifty about 90% of the time. Love that thing.

I will be double nickels this summer, also. My son is getting married in August, so it will likely be hot. My dress will be tea length. I am planning to do the sunless tanner, and that, along with a nice pedicure, will hopefully be formal enough. I am hoping to find a nice pair of silver dressy sandals with a low heel to go along with the dress.

Victoria, I am enjoying your review so much! All your pictures are great, but the night shots are fantastic!

Great review and awesome pictures!

I'm so glad I decided to click on your review and read it. I loved it! Your little Isaac is so adorable, and you guys just seem so chilled out.
Glad you had a great vacation. -
Great review! And awesome pics! Really. I like photography too, and the quality of the low light photos is really amazing.
I'm glad you were able to enjoy this cruise with your parents. Memories are so special.

I want to thank you so much for doing this trip report. It is fantastic! My husband and I were on the Inaugural sailing of the Carnival Breeze doing almost the same itinerary. You review has brought back so many great memories.
You and your wife seem to have such a great relationship. Congratulations on 30 years of marriage. I'm so glad you got to celebrate it by taking this wonderful cruise.

Marie, I just have to tell you that you have exquisite taste! You always look so stylish and elegant. Your husband is one lucky man!
On a separate note, I have a question for all of you; I'm looking for some advice. In December of last year my brother passed away at the age of 54 from heart failure caused by all of the cancer treatments he received as a teen. It was fairly sudden and very tragic; he was an incredible man and one of my best friends. We are taking his widow on a cruise at the end of June to try and give her some smiles; she has been completely devastated and lost since his death. They were married for 30 years. Anyway, it has been my routine to buy gifts for all the ladies sailing with me to celebrate our cruise; last year it was cruise ship Pandora beads. They were a huge hit! I would like to do something special for my sister-in-law for this cruise, as she has never cruised with us before. Do any of you have suggestions on something special that I can get for her that would be meaningful and would remind her how much we love her and are there for her? I thought about a spa certificate, but I'm just not sure. I sure could use some suggestions!
Kate, I lost my husband in December too. He was 64. My heart goes out to you and your SIL. I know what you are going through. The spa idea sounds great. Why don't you go together for a girls spa day. She might really like that. It is going to be hard for her to go on this cruise without her husband. I think the more you can do things with her, the easier it will be for her.

I really enjoyed your review! Thanks for taking the time to post it.

OK, I want this dress from Avenue: http://www.avenue.com/clothing/Sequined-Blouson-Cold-Shoulder-Dress.aspx?PfId=349863&DeptId=22430&ProductTypeId=1
This would be PERFECT for my NYE cruise!!! It has sleeves, which are a must for me. But it's $98 and I will probably never wear it again :( I guess I'll wait for a sale or try to find something else.
Try this coupon code for $25.00 off. http://www.retailmenot.com/view/avenue.com
Oh, I just saw a better one on the Avenue website. AV12134 for 40% off!
PS: Cute dress!

Chrystal, I am absolutely loving your trip report! I hope to go on either the Oasis or Allure someday. Maybe in 2014. The photo of you and Wes is absolutely gorgeous!
