I will look forward to your report. DH and I will be on the Sun in 37 days with a land tour following. :D

 

How many days prior to the cruise did you get your cruise doc's? 37 days away, and my e-docs are still not ready to download. :(

I can't wait to see everyone's reports!

Leaving Seattle next Saturday on the Westerdam and just saw that the temp in Juneau on the day we'll be there will be 81 and sunny. Didn't think we'd be going from Oregon's cool dampness to the tropics!

I just returned home from Alaska yesterday and had a fantastic

cruise:D.....sailed from Seattle and went to Juneau, Ketchikan and

Skagway. Our weather was UNBELIEVABLE.......SUNNY and in the 50's

and 60's every day:D:):D

Hmmm...not sure...mine are there and ready to download, but I was not paying attention when they first arrived-so they will be there at least a week before you go!

Very excited! I am all packed-I did not sign up for the meet & greet this time-traveling with a lot of family this go round and not sure I am allowed out of the "family bonding circle"...which means I will probably be found at one of the bars...

Did you complete your online registration? I always thought they were immediately available after completing. I guess I never really paid attention before.

Oh yes, on line registration was completed the day the cruise was booked. On all of my other cruises the doc's were available just after the final payment date. Must be the land tour holding things up.

You sound like Mike and I: casino, bars or balcony looking for wildlife! :p Should be a fun cruise! Hope to run into you next week! We will be with friends: Glenna and Dave, maybe you'll recognize Dave as he is about 6'5". :DWe all like to listen to music in lounge/bar areas.

We are in Denali right now (2:30 on May 17) and it is glorious. Not a cloud in the sky and many folks are in short sleeves. We are just waiting for our Wilderness Tour. Hopefully we will see some animals. Saw some moose and trumpeter swans on our way from Anchorage yesterday. Mt. McKinley was absolutely spectacular. The conductor even stopped the train for photo ops. Will write more later.

We will probably see each other then-I am usually where the music is...and esp the karaoke! Less than a week now-cannot wait!

I am on a 6 night Celebrity cruise tour in July. Not much information given on website as to what we do each day....seems like a lot of free time or extra tours to purchase. Does anyone know how the extra tours to purchase work? Do you purchase ahead of time or in Alaska? Why the lack of information?

I'll return from Cruisetour 5b at end of june. I'll give details but the first day you meet your land tour director, and he/she will sell you land tours and as well sell the upgrades to TWT. Celebrity doesn't let you see/buy anything in advance. The RCCL site has the same tours and a little more information. There is slightly more info in your final documents from Celebrity.

My wife and I just completed (May 13 - 20) our first Alaskan cruise on Coral Princess. I am in the process of writing a review, but I will say it was more spectacular than I would have ever imagined. I spent a lot of time preparing for the trip and it paid off. We were certainly flexible with our schedule, but I felt I had a pretty good "lay of the land" while on the ship, as well as our ports.

I'll be happy to answer any questions, but I will say again, it was outstanding.

Really looking forward to reading your review! We are sailing on Coral in July. Though we are doing southbound and I think your sailing was northbound.
