Ghengis Klown Posted May 7, 2012 #1 Share Posted May 7, 2012 I have a up coming cruise to Alaska threw the "inside passage", but on most of the websites they don't show many if any pictures. So I thought I'd ask my fellow cruise critics. Anyone have any pics of these areas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sdmike Posted May 7, 2012 #2 Share Posted May 7, 2012 If you do a google image search on any of those cities you will be greeted with thousands of photos. Is there something different that you're looking for? I know because I'm going on the same cruise :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hikini Posted May 7, 2012 #5 Share Posted May 7, 2012 I have tons of pictures from the ship, all the way up and down. I couldn't tell you where most of them were taken, and that's one thing I wish for every time, is a detailed map of where we are along the route. They do have the map on the TV screen but it just shows general areas, not specific. I see the itinerary you are on, and we've done that one 4 times. On Sunday morning, your first full day at sea, be where you can see out around 9:00-10:00 because you should pass thru a "town" in BC, I don't know the name of the town, but there is a little light house and people were outside waving as we went by. Land is near on both sides of the ship....maybe 300 yards either direction. (I'm just guessing.) Also, on your first evening after you leave Seattle, I feel this is some of the prettiest scenery, if it's a nice evening. About 2 hours north of Seattle and you are passing several little islands. You'll see fishing boats and all kinds of cabins big and small on the hillsides. I've taken some gorgeous sunset photos in this area. You can't go wrong with this cruise. We've done it 7 times, with the 8th coming up! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So I thought I'd ask my fellow cruise critics. Anyone have any pics of these areas? The Pearl just left Vancouver, B.C. yesterday for Her first Alaskan run of the season. She does a Bow Web Cam that you can access. Go to: (1) NCL.com (2) Site map (3) Ships (4) The Pearl and (5) Web Cam Depending on how She is dock in each port, you will be able to see a little. Skagway is on Wednesday and Glacier Bay will be Thursday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ute_fan Posted May 7, 2012 #7 Share Posted May 7, 2012 Been to Alaska twice and just getting ready to go a third time in a couple of weeks :D. I have a link to my webshots in my signature that has several shots of from the ship if you're interested. One of my favorites is this view of Mendenhall Glacier near Juneau, as seen from our whale watching trip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deb63 Posted May 7, 2012 #8 Share Posted May 7, 2012 We sailed the Pearl last year. Our stateroom had an aft view. It was beautiful. My DH and I spent a lot of time out there, just watching the scenery go by. I can't tell you exactly where these were taken - they are marked "sea day" on the memory card. My favorite pics are actually from Juneau and Glacier Bay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quilting_Cruiser Posted May 7, 2012 #9 Share Posted May 7, 2012 There are links in my signature to photos from two Alaska cruises (neither on NCL, but same scenery :D). We've cruised Alaska three times, and I'm sure there'll be more. You just can't beat how gorgeous it is! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jldevlin Posted May 7, 2012 #11 Share Posted May 7, 2012 My father was a commercial fisherman when I was a child and fished the inside passage so I saw this area often as a child .My mother and I took an alaska cruise 2 years ago and even tho we thought we had really seen this area enough we could not take our eyes off the scenery. Every turn brings a new view ... it should be on everyones bucket list .. have a great time !!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ghengis Klown Posted May 8, 2012 Author #13 Share Posted May 8, 2012 All these pictures are amazing.. I'm thinking I might need to buy a new camera. I think my phone has a better lens then my camera Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ute_fan Posted May 8, 2012 #14 Share Posted May 8, 2012 Our first Alaska trip we had a little point & shoot. For our next one we upgraded to a better point & shoot with a zoom lens. Last year we bought a DSLR, partly because we knew we wanted to return to Alaska before long. Good luck with that camera decision! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bonvoyagie Posted May 10, 2012 #19 Share Posted May 10, 2012 Sorry but she is in Skagway until 10:00 AK time. Also the bridge cam is not working all the time. It was stuck yesterday in Juneau. Probably will not see an update until near Ketchikan. :mad: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
