I had heard this. Thank you for the reminder. Someone else had told me the same thing about the tramway.

Yes, I heard the public bus was a good way to get to Mendenhall and that is probably what we will do. Creek Street is definitely in the plans. I love the flexibility of a DIY excursion.

I hope you will post some pictures! I think that Alaska is the type of place where you should visit frequently at different times of the season. So many changes. I was thinking about the tramway. I will definitely look for Annabelle's. I am making a list of recommendations that I have gotten.

44 days out and counting. It is warm here in Pennsylvania, maybe a little too warm in the upper 80's. Spending time watching Youtube videos of the areas where I will be going, I found some nice ones from cruise vloggers ParoDeeJay that showed possible excursions in Juneau, Skagway, and Ketchikan. I love it because these towns are very walkable and there are things to do that aren't overly expensive. My plan is to take loads of pictures and post them here. I will do as much posting as I can, depends on the Internet.

Me too! I need this cruise so badly. Haven't had time off since the Christmas holidays.

Here we are at 48 days out. I noticed my preliminary boarding pass it out. The final one will be available 14 days out. Getting closer and closer. My brother and sister-in-law said that they have finished their shopping for the cruise. Trying to get my sister to get going as she stated she needs a few things. I think I have everything I need. From the boarding pass, the air itinerary is there and correct. I am sure American Airlines will change a few more times. We are also confirmed for the Cruisetrain transfer. It leaves Anchorage around 12:30 and gets into Whittier around 3. The we set sail at 8. I wonder what my first drink on board will be. 🤔

Thanks everyone. Enjoy the upcoming week.

Here comes the Eurodam.

NA toots!

If I had to have a problem, this would be it. I love champagne.

Yay NA. 49 days until we board to Alaska in Whittier. Should I start packing now? 🤔

Toots!

Checking in. Hope everyone is having a great day.

I chose Nieuw Amsterdam for my upcoming Alaska trip in May. This is my first time to Alaska. I decided on NA because of the itinerary. We are sailing from Whittier to Hubbard Glacier, Glacier Bay, Juneau, Skagway, Ketchikan, through the inside passage to Vancouver. I wanted to see the glaciers. Another reason is that I do like ships the size of NA and Noordam. I like smaller ships. I had friends who sailed on NA and they loved it. To be honest, it doesn't take much to make me happy. I will be on vacation with my siblings and intend to enjoy it.

Thanks everyone. See you tomorrow!

Toots!
