New Member, New Cruise. Yay!!

I just wanted to drop in to give a big T-H-A-N-K Y-O-U!!!! to this site. I was trying to find a cruise to take my mother on for her 60th next year, and had no clue on a lot of things, (neither of us have ever been on one). Thanks to the various posts, (and pics), I managed to make a decision that I think she will be pleased with.

 

05/10/09, HAL Oosterdam 7 day Alaskan Explorer, SC-5191. I had never even thought of an aft room, but after seeing someones pics from SB-4185, (I believe that's where it was), I knew instantly that's where we belonged.

 

Now to find a way to tell her something has been booked. (She knows it was possibly coming, after all I made her get a passport finally so I could do this).

 

 

Oh, I guess I need to do the obligatory "Anyone got any pics of SC-5191?" hahaha.

 

Thanks again everyone, I look forward to reading more and learning more as it gets closer.

What a great son you are! Can I adopt you?;)

 

You (and your mother) will have a fabulous cruise. We did the Alaskan Explorer cruise this past May/early June (on the Westerdam) and loved it!

If you haven't already, make sure you check out the Alaska forum:

http://boards.cruisecritic.com/forumdisplay.php?f=55

 

lots of helpful posters, TONS of information, and quite active year-round. Well worth taking an hour or two to read some of the threads, especially in regard to shore excursions.

 

Welcome!

Happy cruising Robert. I hope you and your mom love Alaska as much as I do. So far, I've cruised there twice, and want to return.
