I did not see you were from Portland.....:p Just glad you are not a Duck!

 

My wife is the photographer in our family, here is one of her good photos. Females must be the better photographers....:)

Crater Lake......beautiful. I know Springfield is pretty far from Portland but I am part of a women's photography group if your wife is interested. Sometimes we make it south to shoot covered bridges, etc.

Thanks again. Love your pics. I am looking into a photography class before we go. We are booked at about the same time next year.

Your photos and posts are great.. why don't you have a blog? Or do you???

 

We are heading out next week on the Volendam to do the same cruise.. hope we have great weather as you did...

 

I take photos and have a travel blog, but nothing like yours...

 

Keep it up...fantastic...

I wanted to relive one of my favorite cruises ever so I decided to re-read my review. Since it is almost Alaska season again!

I know what you mean Kristin, we did an Alaska cruise in 2013 and loved it!

I, too, know what you mean Kristin. I love looking over my photos. I am even working on another trip, but not sure when/if it will happen. I want to go to Gustavus for the small boat tour to Glacier Bay and then head to Sitka where we did not spend anywhere near enough time during our last visit.

I have just relived our cruise on the Zaandam to Alaska in 2007 via your photos. Would dearly love to go back to Alaska but being in Australia, it's a long way to travel, but who knows - hopefully we will get there again. Your photos, by the way, are just stunning.

 

We've been on the Volendam twice, the last being from Sydney to Hong Kong in 2012. I recall a few air conditioning issues, but it still remains one of my favourite ships.

Took a look at this post because I will be on the Volendam next year in Asia and was hoping to see some of the ship. Happy that I did as your pictures are great! May be moving a trip to Alaska up on my "Bucket list". :)

Just discovered your reviews today!

 

Loved your photos of Alaska!! We went 10 years ago when I had a camera with about a 3x zoom. Definitely not enough for that scenery, so want to go back with something better (still a point and shoot, but longer zoom. Tried learning with a DSLR, and even have a decent kit, but could never get the hang of it.)
