Trip review; Explorer; Alaska 7/13 - 7/20 PT 1 [ friday and saturday]

[redwings1958]

Just returned from the Alaskan Cruise last week; Here are the Highlights( and Low Lights)

FRIDAY 7/13 - EMBARKATION; Arrived around 11:45a, smooth and efficient ( if you have all your documentation in order)

on board by 12:30p; Cabin was ready by 1pm; all bags arrived by 5pm; Muster drill pretty painless; they no longer required life jackets to be worn; Welcome aboard show as the featured nightly entertainment

 

SATURDAY 7/14 - AT SEA; Too cold to go on deck; Lots of trivia, games, bingo to keep occupied; 2 Ice shows this afternoon; NO MORE STANDING IN LINE FOR TICKETS; They do it by muster station; divided into 4 separate shows[ standby seating 10 minutes prior to showtime; Well worth the time; 1st formal night as well as the Capt's welcome aboard party;

Singers and Dancers as the featured nightly show; Also the comedian does a Late night Adults only show - very very funny;

Moved clocks back 1 hour to get in sync with Alaska time
