So Excited had to share :) :)

We are booked on the NCL Sun in 2 weeks. I am getting so excited but today I was even more excited. My start up page on my computer has the live webcam from the White Pass and Yukon Railroad in Skagway. The web cam looks out to the rail yard and the ship port. The first Ships of the season are THERE today [img]http://messages.cruisecritic.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_smile.gif[/img] [img]http://messages.cruisecritic.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_smile.gif[/img] [img]http://messages.cruisecritic.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_smile.gif[/img] )or at least the first ones I have seen this season)... It made me so excited I want to go pack right now (19 days til the cruise)... My friends think I am crazy because I cruise a lot, so I thought I would share my excitement with people that would understand [img]http://messages.cruisecritic.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_smile.gif[/img]

I was thinking Hal and Princess as well Parrothead [img]http://messages.cruisecritic.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_smile.gif[/img] I am so excited about the trip. It has been so hot here the past couple of days (as you know since you don't live that far) and I keep saying it's ok in 2 weeks I will be cruising Alaska [img]http://messages.cruisecritic.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_smile.gif[/img] LOL makes everyone at work mad...

Changed again hu... I tell you, it makes me happy that I am not the only one, If I change the hotel in Vancouver one more time I think my hubby will file for divorce... I have been driving him nuts.

WOW Parrot, just looked at the deck plans, thats the 2-bedroom... NICE!!! Let me know how you like it, we are sailing in the RS (or whatever they are calling that cat these days) on the Explorer in October.

We don't go until August and I think I'll go crazy. I'm glad there are others who get as excited as I do... I'm driving my husband, kids, and friends crazy and they don't understand!

We are staying at the Westin Grand... Only because we are going to the Cirque Du Soleil show at GM Place on Saturday night. The Westin was the closest hotel (that was nice) to GM Place if we decide to walk instead of get a taxi. [img]http://messages.cruisecritic.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_smile.gif[/img] I am so excited (and now jealous of your RS...but only a few months until we get our RS on Explorer [img]http://messages.cruisecritic.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_smile.gif[/img] )

I totally relate. Our cruise is May 28th. I go to sleep thinking about the cruise and clothing and I wake up and think,"what day is this? and how many more to go?". Then I spend the rest of the day either on this board, doing online research, telling poor hubby everything I have discovered or re-decided upon!!! He is ready to put duct tape over my mouth!

Oh my, oh my! I can relate to all of you as well! We're booked on the HAL ms Amsterdam for departure on May 23 and we have started to count the hours.

We are not "vacation planners" in aspect of booking trips many months ahead of time. Most of the time we have to may wait just a matter of weeks, but we booked this trip in February and it's been a long 3 months! (3 months is long for us.)

HAPPY CRUISING TO ALL! [img]http://messages.cruisecritic.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_razz.gif[/img]

Did I just read something about a Cirque de Soliel show in Vancouver? We're big fans! We've been to the one here in Orlando twice (once on the front row) and went to Las Vegas in December several years ago to see one there. But there are a lot of black out dates in December on shows, so it wasn't playing. We keep saying we'll go out there another time, but haven't yet. Anyway...could you, please, let me know about the one in Vancouver?
Many thanks, Carole

Yes Quidam (my favorite Cirque show) is playing in Vancouver through June 6. Once it leaves Vancouver it goes to Calgary and then it is off to Australia and who knows when it will be back here again. It is at GM Place which is very close to the port. We are HUGE Cirque fans and have actually bought tickets for the night before the cruise May 29 and the day we return from the cruise June 6... I can't wait it was just an added bonus to our already exciting Alaska vacation... Tickets can be purchased at Cirquedusoleil.com [img]http://messages.cruisecritic.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_smile.gif[/img]

Hey LB - we agree, we can't wait either! We are on the X Mercury, in 17 days! This is our first time to Alaska. We are taking our teenage sons with us and even they are excited (trust me that doesn't happen very often).

Hope that you have a great cruise (and everyone else too) - I like the pre and post cruise plans that you have made - great idea!

Happy sailing all

Thanks for the info on Cirque de Soliel. Too bad we won't be in Vancouver until later in July. It would be an added bonus to our cruise to see the show. Everyone have a great time, though!

I thought I was the only one from Winter Garden lurking here! My wife & I are counting down the final 40 days until we leave for Alaska. It will be nice to escape the Cental Florida Heat for a week!!!
