pe4all Posted October 17, 2014 #126 Share Posted October 17, 2014 We also did the Lumberjack show in Ketchikan, and enjoyed it. Corny, but fun! We were on the next to last cruise of the season when we went, and it was 85 degrees there. The rest of the trip was in the 50-60 degree range - a heavy sweatshirt and waterproof windbreaker was enough for us to be comfortable in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Captain Carnival Posted October 20, 2014 Author #139 Share Posted October 20, 2014 After doing a virtual "walk about" in and through Ketchikan and the seemingly endless parade of souvenir shops and such we headed back aboard our Carnival Miracle grabbing something to eat up at Horatio's topping it off with something sweet out on the Serenity Deck. I Say Ahhhh and My Bride Says Mmmmmm! Overlooking The DI Jewelry of Cozumel...Err I Mean Ketchikan. Now after hanging out and also nodding off for a bit I thought it might be fun to try out one of the hammocks that on a Caribbean cruise are always filled up but we seemed to have the place all to ourselves so watch out hammock here I come! My Graceful Mounting Attempt. Finally - The Eagle Has Landed...Or At Least Flopped! Of Course It Wouldn't Have Been The Serenity Experience Without My Bride Swinging The Hammock Back & Forth Several Times! Holy Swinger Batman! Up Next: The Dizzy Dismount!

Captain Carnival Posted October 20, 2014 Author #141 Share Posted October 20, 2014 (edited) Thanks once again to our Friends and Tablemates Angie & Greg for the very tasty bottle of wine they brought for us - it was great! Perhaps we can repay the favor on the Carnival Conquest in April 2015 or the Carnival Vista in May 2016? Salute! Grazie per il Angie vino e Greg! Ecco di una crociera Futuro! My Face Looks Like I'm Still On The Hammock! And Look Who's Still Laughing About The Hammock Ride! Either Way We Still Had An Incredible Day Together In Ketchikan!

Captain Carnival Posted October 21, 2014 Author #142 Share Posted October 21, 2014 what kind of hiking shoes yall wearing? love your review and kudos for your wife conquering the bridge! My boots (some 20 years old now) are from Ozark Trail. My brides, that are nearly clones of mine are Nevados (on Amazon 20 bucks) that we ordered around a month before we sailed. They also have "SBSG" - Suspension Bridge Sure Grip! :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Carnival Posted October 21, 2014 Author #143 Share Posted October 21, 2014 We also did the Lumberjack show in Ketchikan, and enjoyed it. Corny, but fun!

The rest of the trip was in the 50-60 degree range - a heavy sweatshirt and waterproof windbreaker was enough for us to be comfortable in. We came all set for Alaska Snow, Ice, and Cold....what did we get....Florida winter when we get a cold front coming through - 50 degree temps most days, no snow, and the only ice we experienced was at the glaciers and glacier bay. We even bought a dozen "HotHands Hand Warmers and NEVER USED any of them; I wish I kept the receipt! :rolleyes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have enjoyed reading it very it very much.We have yet to go to Alaska on a cruise but will in the near future. Again, Thanks for sharing. PS That cat looks like a "Norwegian Forest Cat". She is the spitting image of ours. You are correct. He is a Norwegian Forest Cat. One of two in my household.:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Carnival Posted October 22, 2014 Author #146 Share Posted October 22, 2014 You are correct. He is a Norwegian Forest Cat. One of two in my household.:D Sorry Guys - You're Both Wrong!

denisey Posted October 22, 2014 #148 Share Posted October 22, 2014 I just stumbled on your review yesterday (VERY slow day at work!) And while I have no interest in an Alaska cruise at this point, I am enjoying your review very much. I did wave to the Miracle each Tuesday during the summer as she was docked at pier 91 in Seattle. Thanks for the great review....heading to the Mediterranean now...or at least your review of your Med cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wegiekat Posted October 23, 2014 #150 Share Posted October 23, 2014 Wow - Great review. Thank you for taking us along for the ride. Makes me even more ready for my cruise in a couple of weeks, even if it is just a 3 nighter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
