I've only just started your report (late comer!) but I am LOVING it so far - your pictures are gorgeous by the way! It's making me really want to see Canada and Alaska!

Thank you so much for joining! Hope you enjoy the rest.

I am resurrecting this thread to thank you for your lovely trip report. It was very helpful as we plan our first cruise *and* first trip to Alaska! Your report was beautifully written, with just the right amount of detail and pictures. Well done!

And on another note, I'm from the Phoenix area and have moved back, so it was extra fun for me to read your report. I too once did an 8th grade graduation trip to Big Surf . . . though it was MANY years ago! Really smiled when I read that detail!

Thanks again.

Thank you so much for your report--I found it after you commented on Alaska excursions. I really appreciate your advice about booking excursions on your own, I was a bit worried about it, but I think I'm going to take that route. I also appreciated your clothing advice, we are going in June and I hate to be cold, so I'm glad to hear that a fleece and rainjacket should suffice. I'm also bringing a crushable down jacket, just in case.

I'm going to read your Norway report next, who knows what we'll rebook when we're onboard!

Thanks for reading. One of the reasons I write these is to help my fellow DCL fans in planning their trips. I'm so glad you got some useful information from it. Have fun planning and have a great cruise! You'll love Alaska.

Thanks for your comments. How exciting, I certainly hope that cruising will be back in 2022 and you'll be able to take your 3G cruise! We had to reschedule a European cruise from this summer to 2022.
