I actually was on Imagination for the four day cruise last August. It was my first solo cruise and I am doing the exact same thing again this August. I found all her upgrades to be really nice. She is a good ship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LoopyLee Posted May 29, 2010 #105 Share Posted May 29, 2010 Thank you for taking the time to post such an in depth and fantastic review of your trip. We are going on the Spirit to Alaska in September for my Husbands first ever cruise and your review has really helped to give him an idea on what to expect.

BRCruiser08 Posted May 29, 2010 #106 Share Posted May 29, 2010 Thanks for continuing! We fly out Monday so I keep checking your review every few hours. I appreciate all of the advice you are offering. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I appreciate all of the advice you are offering. No problem. Saturday is always hectic as I work all day long. I picked up a long shift tomorrow as well so I won't get much done on the review before you leave. Let me know if you have any questions and I will be happy to try an answer them.

epixx Posted May 29, 2010 #108 Share Posted May 29, 2010 I have enjoyed reading your review so far. We will be in Skagway later this summer and have only about one hour extra for hiking. Which of the hikes did you find most scenic? If possible, we would like to do the more strenuous one, since we're coming with a teen and a preteen and would like the exercise, but scenery would be our priority.

If possible, we would like to do the more strenuous one, since we're coming with a teen and a preteen and would like the exercise, but scenery would be our priority. Well if you only have an hour you are kind of limited. You could get up to Lower Dewey Lake since it really isn't that far. It has some steep incline to it at parts. However, there isn't some big scenic moment waiting for you. If you can make it over to the other side and do the walks out to Yukatania Point and Smiggler's Cove you will get some great views. However, that really isn't too strenuous. Here is the PDF format trail guide that I had printed out. It is very helpful. Your problem is going to be the limited time http://www.skagway.com/skagwaytrailmap.pdf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SunnyDayz4me Posted May 29, 2010 #114 Share Posted May 29, 2010 Absolutely wonderful review ! Can't wait to read more ! I just got back on the 11th and in comparing these two trips...it just goes to show that Alaska is place where you can go and have "different" vacations every time ! It's a beautiful place...and just one piece of the "paradise" puzzle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KristenCheeks Posted May 29, 2010 #115 Share Posted May 29, 2010 Loving your review! We're planning this cruise for May of next year, and your review is helping me decide on some must-do activities. Really appreciate all the tips. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dobiemom Posted May 29, 2010 #118 Share Posted May 29, 2010 Tiggerman, I love your review! You mentioned that they still have VCRs in the rooms. :eek: Is there a VCR library or do you need to bring your own? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coachw Posted May 29, 2010 #119 Share Posted May 29, 2010 I too am enjoying your review and will be sailing in 2 weeks. Im looking forward to it. ONe question. Were u able to use your Cell phone without extra roaming charges? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pcrum Posted May 29, 2010 #120 Share Posted May 29, 2010 Love the review. We did the NCL Star last July and also had to bypass Sawyer Glacier to go to Dawes Glacier. I wondered how your parents enjoyed Carnival after being used to NCL. We are long time Carnival fans and really didn't care for the food on NCL or the whole "freestyle dining". We would love to do the Spirit! Thanks again for a wonderful review! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tiggerman101 Posted May 30, 2010 Author #123 Share Posted May 30, 2010 Did you get off of the boat in Victoria? Any recommendations? Victoria is kind of a funny story that I will get to. I know it seems like a drag to get off on the last night, but the city is absolutly beautiful. It is worth a quick tour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tiggerman101 Posted May 30, 2010 Author #124 Share Posted May 30, 2010 Tiggerman, I love your review! You mentioned that they still have VCRs in the rooms. :eek: Is there a VCR library or do you need to bring your own? They only have VCRs in suites. The only time I ever had one in a non-suite was on the Freedom. We were in an Aft Wrap Around cabin and they had a DVD/VCR combo machine in it. No they did not provide a VCR library (as far as I know. I didn't ask). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jrmende63 Posted May 30, 2010 #125 Share Posted May 30, 2010 I too am enjoying your review and will be sailing in 2 weeks. Im looking forward to it. ONe question. Were u able to use your Cell phone without extra roaming charges? Thanks! Yes if you have nationwide roaming, Alaska is part of US but service is spotty at times due to the vastness of the Land. We went to Alaska in 2006 and LOVED it. Thanks Tiggerman for posting this review. DH and I will go back to Alaska one day. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
