kellywhitehills Posted January 12, 2009 #1 Share Posted January 12, 2009 Would anyone be interested in a CC Group Cruise to Alaska on The Carnival Spirit? I was thinking maybe July or August 2010 .. We have cruised Alaska twice now..First time was a Southbound cruise and the second was a R/T out of Vancouver..I think the one way cruise gives you more port time and is the better cruise..The ports of call would be Whittier,Sitka, Juneau, Skagway and Ketchikan and Vancouver with a glacial sailing of College Fjord and sailing the inside passage...The nice thing about a NB or SB cruise is your port time in Juneau..It allows you enough time to cruise Tracy Arm Via small boat that will you take right up close to the face of Sawyer Glacier...Someing only 25% of the large cruise ships are able to do.. If we did a R/T the ports of call would be Vancouver, Juneau, Skagway, Ketchikan and Glacier Bay. This itinerary is nice but the weather is not the greatest that time of year(Sept).. SOOOOOOO...anyone interested??..Come on..Alot of you have talked about seeing Alaska..You know you all want to go..:) Kelly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cobraman99 Posted January 12, 2009 #2 Share Posted January 12, 2009 my wife and 1 and 2 other couples would be interested as alaska is next on our list! I like the r/t idea because of airline flights being easier to deal with and a little cheaper on roundtrips! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah!..Thats 3 maybe 4 couples..:) R/T out of Vancouver is very convenient..Its a nice airport to fly in and out of..IF you were wanting to do a post or pre cruise land trip a one way cruise would be better...R/T has alot of scenic sailing with Glacier Bay and the Inside passage twice..

Luckysll Posted January 12, 2009 #4 Share Posted January 12, 2009 I'd be interested in the r/t in September. I've done this cruise once before on Spirit and have another one booked for Sept. 09. Since I live so close to Vancouver, it's one of the few cruises I don't have to fly anywhere to do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kellywhitehills Posted January 12, 2009 Author #6 Share Posted January 12, 2009 Heres a few motivational photos..:) Imagine yourself sitting on your balcony taking in the wonders of Glacier Bay Or Whale watching in Juneau Or Fishing in Ketchikan OR Exploring the Yukon in Skagway! Note all of these photos were taken from the RT cruise out of Vancouver this past Sept.. Kelly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nuttycruisegirl Posted January 13, 2009 #20 Share Posted January 13, 2009 Kelly...Since you have been, is one trip or the other or one time of year better to see the Whales??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kellywhitehills Posted January 13, 2009 Author #21 Share Posted January 13, 2009 Kelly...Since you have been, is one trip or the other or one time of year better to see the Whales??? In Alaska you will see whales no matter when you go in the season...When we went in July we did not do a whale watch but saw many humpbacks and orcas from our Balcony and when we did the Tracy Arm Tour...When we went in Sept we saw many humpbacks on our whale watching cruise..We were able to see the whales up close and had the luxury to sit and observe..There are several whale watching companies in Juneau all have a 100% guarantee of spotting whales...

cruisekwazee Posted January 13, 2009 #23 Share Posted January 13, 2009 I have been to Alaska and can't wait to go back. My friend hasn't been and I would love to go in September 2010. We had an awesome experience with seeing the Whales in Juneau. Also the salmon are spawning so the bears are out trying to catch them something good to eat. I just loved it!!!!! I pray you get enough people interested. Woohooooooo!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
