cruzincraven Posted August 22, 2006 #2 Share Posted August 22, 2006 I am booked on the Vision for June 2007. I am glad to hear any reviews for this ship. Did you do Captain Larry's through the ship or book on your own? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sandi1967 Posted August 22, 2006 #3 Share Posted August 22, 2006 We are also just back from this same cruise....on the last dinner I realized that we were sitting right next to "ilovetovacation!" On a side note, her husband has a great singing voice. The cruise was just wonderful. We had never been on a cruise before so we did not know what to expect.....from the food to the service, it was simpy awesome. The crew on the ship were all so nice and I loved talking to them. They work so hard and are away from their families for months. I thought the cruise dancing shows were just ok.....did not really care for them too much.......the comedy acts were always quite funny. We had a great time playing "vision quest" and reccomend either playing or watching this funny game. Karioke was also really good...... Our excursions were nice as well. Next time we cruise I will book our cruises independently though. We found lots of great tours in Skagway, but we were already booked with the ship to go on the train. We were able to switch our luggage tags which enabled us to get off the ship earlier to make it the airport for an earlier flight back east. That was so helpful as we had to fly standby. THe weather was Alaskan weather.....cruising on Wednesday was the best weather day....everyone was outside. I keep looking for another cruise to take our kids on....thinking summer of '08......any suggestions. ENjoy your cruise...I am sad that ours is already over!!

catslave3 Posted August 23, 2006 #6 Share Posted August 23, 2006 I took my kids and went to Alaska. I loved it. If you saw a girl rolling around the decks with wheels on her shoes, that was my daughter. Did anyone go to the Gold Creek Salmon Bake? I bought 2 packs of the glaze mix and accidently left it on the security converor belt. I can't find the website to order it. I had an inside room but I actually slept great. I really miss having my covers pulled back at night with a chocolate on my pillow. Karyn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
