Your pictures are beautiful! Thank you for sharing. We were in Alaska last year and I absolutely love it there:)

Thanks for you review. Very enjoyable and informative. Alaska - it's on my bucket list. Going to check on my VIP deals now!

[grancayman]

Thanks everyone so much for the kind reviews of my first review!

Alaska way beyond beautiful and very hard to take a bad picture!!!

I know we will be going back!

My son wanted to know if the water slide was open.

[grancayman]

Hi Geovet,

Unfortunately, I don't know the answer to that as we didn't travel with children! Kids were in both pools and hot tubs though!

Hi Theresa,

 

Wow, what a wonderful review. I went to Alaska eight years ago with my family. Since then, three family members have passed away. Your writings & pictures brings back memories of happier times.

 

Thank you, Wally (Bel Air, MD)

ABSOLUTELY FABULOUS PICTURES! Great review, and thank you so much. I had to wait for a day off from work to come back, it was worth the wait.

 

We are going next September, on the last cruise, which skips Tracy Arm and goes to Glacier Bay. Since Carnival does that route so rarely, all I have been able to find out is that we pick up a ranger that morning in the bay, dont know if there is a special boat that goes closer to any Glacier.

 

DH wants to see bears, the BF is still in shock that he is going, and I am (as always) doing all the research.

 

I am glad that my suggestion worked out, you should be so proud of your photos.

 

I am selfishly going to borrow one of your pictures (the Chihully) as my background picture. Each one of us is getting to choose one thing that we want to do in Seattle=DH wants the Aviation Museum, BF wants the space needle, and I want to go to the Chihully Glass and Gardens.

 

Again, many thanks for the review.

[grancayman]

Thanks Marsha and Wally for the kind words!!

Marsha, the Chihuly is a must if you like his work!

just the way they arranged the glass orbs so that they they reflected the needle is beyond! And again , I appreciate the tip so I could post!!!

Thanks for the review and pictures! We are going next July and I've been looking at every review I can find. Excited about it!

[princessliz]

We were on the August 4th sailing and I did see the slide open twice. I think at the Skagway stop and the final day on the way to Victoria.

I just posted these on another thread, but I know when I was planning I was dying to see them, so I thought I'd post here too! Great review and pictures!!! Looks like you saw a lot more whales and seals than we did, but it was still the best vacation ever!!! I'm hoping to start a review as well. Can't wait to go back!

We ended up carrying our stuff off, but I could see where the luggage express could work really well. Just a caution though, one of families in our roll call group's luggage did not make it home on time. I think they were expecting it to arrive today!
