Since this was my latest photo review, I wanted to give a little update. I have had a super busy winter/spring at work and at home, and as such it has slowed down my ability to get a bunch on stuff done. I am finishing up editing our Christmas cruise pictures so I can do that review. In the meantime, we went on a spring break cruise, so I have that one to do as well. Plus, we have Hawaii in less than 70 days, eek! I work in an election office and the presidential primary throws an additional election in the mix that isn’t normally there this year. I am hoping this will all calm down! just wanted to give you all an update! Matthew

Our next adventure is in a little over 2 months when we hit our 50th state and 20th cruise together! We will be sailing the Pride of America in Hawaii! Yes, everything is well, just very busy. I would do the Sun for the better port times alone. You get an almost full day in each port including Victoria. I love the Sun! Plus you can always sit in the Great Outdoors (deck 12) and just enjoy nature! They have music and things going on all the time! I will post an update on my last review for everyone to update later today.

As you mentioned it was 5 years ago, wow, and while I cannot tell you a name of the shop I remember roughly where in Juneau it was. The store I got it at was on Franklin, past the Red Dog Saloon, on the left hand side of the road when walking from the Alaska Short Company or Goldbelt Tram. I want to say it was closer to the lucky lady pub, but I am not sure of that. Another shop I would suggest checking out, in Juneau, for unique and Alaskan made items is Caribou Crossings. They are closer to the tram on the right side of Franklin. I always love finding something unique and that moose definitely fit the bill! Happy hunting and enjoy that Alaska cruise!

Juneau - right in front of the State Capitol building. Yes, it’s walkable.

First of all Thank you! Enjoy the Sun in Alaska! Yes, we are sailing the POA! It will be our 20th cruise together and our 50th state visited. Just wait for the boarding photo!

my favorite is the Inside Passage - Milk Chocolate Fudge with a peanut butter center!

Thank You! We leave in a few days!

Ketchikan - Bering Sea Crab Fisherman's Excursion Juneau - Dog Sled Ride Excursion or Whale Watching through Harv & Marv Skagway - White Pass & Yukon Railroad is a must; Make sure to do the train. Sitka - Sitka Tours Birds, bears, and barnacles excursion or something close to that book privately through them. ISP - If you like the Zipline do the Zipline; The ATV excursion is awesome as well; Also a good port to do whale watching. Victoria - Eagle Wing Tours was awesome; We are planning to do Butchart Gardens in April.

Awesome! You will enjoy it!

Your welcome! Thanks for reading!

Your welcome! This had to be the best weather trip we have ever had in Alaska. As I mentioned in the review, the only bad days were the days we were at sea.

I always enjoy doing them! If someone can take something from it, then I think its a success! Thanks for reading!

Day 11 - July 10th, 2023 Disembarkation Day - Seattle, WA We arrived back into Seattle. I got up at my normal work time, so I could do it the next day. I got to watch them prepare to start the transition day process. Today was also the MLB All-Star game in Seattle, so we wanted to get out of town as cleanly as we could once off the ship. pano Hooking up the skybridge The trucks are arriving! Time for final breakfast

So we left Victoria and started zig-zagging across the Straight of Juan de Fuca like a drunk 21 year old. We got our bags out and headed to bed.

It was time to head to our final MDR dinner. Vegetable and Pork Spring Roll Double order of the fried mozzarella cheese Coho departing for Port Angeles Strawberry Spinach Salad Bruschetta Seafood Brochette Roasted Prime Rib of Beef Black Forest Cake Kahlua Cream Pie Warm Chocolate Volcano Cake Pear & Blueberry Jubilee We got forgotten by our assigned server on this meal, luckily one of the servers who was awesome all week saw what was going on and stepped in. He got a vacation hero card.
