Lindsay is looking forward to avoiding the summer heat, at least for a little while.

Heh.

So we're thinking about taking one last hurrah of a vacation before baby makes three. We want something relaxing, but where we can also go out and do some physical activities, too, and I'm always looking out ofr good photooptions. And we thought it might be nice to do something with Bryan's parents and my mom as well, so we're thinking of an Alaskan cruise this summer. It's sort of short notice, but we're hoping to get a good last-minute deals. We'd (read: I) prefer to either go on either Royal Caribbean, Princess, or Celebrity. Has anyone done one of these cruises before? Are there ports you think are a MUST SEE, or any that you felt you could have skipped? What length would you say is a good option (7 or 10 day)?

I did a 10 day on Princess a while back out of San Francisco. I had a great time. Glacier Bay is pretty amazing and I think most cruise lines go there. I recommend Princess - during the summer it's not all old people. There is a pretty good mix of families and couples.

SUSAN!! Dah-ling, it's been an OCEAN OF TIME since I last saw you. Which means that WE ARE GETTING TOGETHER SOMETIME SOON, right? Email me with your current email addy (you can use the one in my user profile).

I think Princess is what we're going to end up doing, but the itinerary we're considering doesn't go to Glacier Bay. :( It goes to
Seattle, Washington
At Sea
Juneau, Alaska
Skagway, Alaska
Tracy Arm Fjord, Alaska (Scenic Cruising)
Ketchikan, Alaska
Victoria, British Columbia
Seattle, Washington

Is Glacier Bay part of the Tracy Arm Fjord thing?
