Alaska Stops

[Ghengis Klown]

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?

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 :)

You can also get more info on those ports here http://cruiseportinsider.com/index.html

 

You can google search images for each of the ports.

kinda.. wondered about shots from the ship.. just to see some of the views

 

and of course I used google images.. just was seeing if anyone had anything cool.

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!

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.

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.

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.

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!

[Ghengis Klown]

OMG... I can't wait.. all my previous cruises lacked in views IMO.. this is gonna be epic

[Jldevlin]

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 !!!!!

Take a look at my webshots album I think you will find some of what you are looking for the 2005 cruise star 8170 aft suite and the 2007 pictures are from the Sun 8001 forward suite http://community.webshots.com/user/3dblouder.

Happy Cruising :cool:

[Ghengis Klown]

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

[ute_fan]

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!

[Ghengis Klown]

Thanks for the tip.. I'm sure I'll be watching that from time to time now..

Damn u Pearl.. get yer ass on the water.. I've looked at the same webcam shot for like 10 hours now..

[bonvoyagie]

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:

I have just checked on The Pearl. She will be sailing in Glacier Bay for several hours today. Her web cam is working fine this morning. The time on Her clock is military time 24 hours). When I checked the time said O553 (5:53 A. M.). For anything past noon add 12 plus the time. For example 6 P.M. would 12 plus 6 is 1800. It looks very beautiful this morning.

This is probably a stupid question, but .... Can u swim on the ship on an Alaskan cruise?

Yes, the pools and the hot tubs are open. This early in the season, it might be very chilly however.

[Ghengis Klown]

The pictures are really nice today...

how about the end of August? I don't really dig pools, but a hot tub is great for the old bones
