AKman2495 Posted April 24, 2014 #1 Share Posted April 24, 2014 Well, I was driving around town today and was stopped at a red light when I saw a Princess tour bus drive by....Are you ready for Alaska..... BTW, it has been a great spring in South Central. Somw is mostly ton, some green grass is starting to show up. Tulips are coming up...and Southeast has been going from a week of sun to weeks or rain.... Be prepared. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Italy52 Posted April 24, 2014 #2 Share Posted April 24, 2014 Can't wait to return to Alaska. Even though we have been to Alaska multiple times, every journey is different and we are eager to see what new memories we will make during our upcoming June cruise.

Old As Dirt Mom Posted April 24, 2014 #9 Share Posted April 24, 2014 Hey, AKman, are you guys ready for all of us? How many visitors come to Alaska every summer? I'm very ready! I'm so lucky I get to cruise twice this year to your most beautiful part of the world! This will make my ninth and tenth forays up north. Can't get enough of that Alaska cruising:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
samchico Posted April 24, 2014 #10 Share Posted April 24, 2014 First cruise ever and Alaska in less than a week. I can hardly contain myself lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shaelyn Posted April 24, 2014 #11 Share Posted April 24, 2014 We were suppose to go to Alaska last September on Celebrity Millennium, but ours was one that was canceled due to mechanical problems. Now our new trip is planned for June this year again on the Millennium. We are also doing a cruise tour with Celebrity. This has been the longest wait, so we are more then ready. This is our first time to Alaska! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EagleRocker Posted April 24, 2014 #14 Share Posted April 24, 2014 Arriving in Anchorage on May 11 for fun and driving around on our own for a few days (a stop at Moose's Tooth for pizza after we get the rental car then on to the lovely Hotel Alyeska for three nights, 26 Glaciers Cruise, Wildlife Center, and whatever else takes our fancy), then back to Anchorage for the night and a scenic train ride to Seward the next day, for a May 15 southbound. I cannot wait, I need my Alaska fix! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AKman2495 Posted April 25, 2014 Author #15 Share Posted April 25, 2014 Hey, AKman, are you guys ready for all of us? How many visitors come to Alaska every summer? We're never ready for tourist season:D Actually, the tour providers and shop are looking forward to it... We should be getting closet to 1.5 million people this year. Cruise ships alone brought up over 968,000 last year and this year is supposed to be better. Fish & Game is warning people that the bears are up and out again. The sea gulls are coming back and we are having beautiful weather. Can't complain. Enjoy your trip up here and have fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have all our excursions booked, but there is a lot of extra time in Skagway.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrusselsGirl07 Posted April 25, 2014 #18 Share Posted April 25, 2014 Can't wait to start reading everyone's trip reports, what they did and where they went!! This is our first trip to Alaska - 81 days until we leave Australia for Anchorage, 91 days until our Southern Glaciers Cruise and 98 days until our Northern Glaciers Cruise! All of our plans are in place and we can't wait!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
olemissreb Posted April 25, 2014 #19 Share Posted April 25, 2014 Wish I were going back again this year. We so enjoyed our vacation last year. We'll see something on tv or hear something and it will take us back to Alaska. Such great memories for our family. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm on the Inside Passage cruise coming up. We have all our excursions booked, but there is a lot of extra time in Skagway.. We sure hope so! We rented a Green Jeep in Skagway to drive up through the Yukon to Emerald Lake! Hope to see some wildlife along the way!:cool: It'll be a nice drive for the 4 of us, going at our own pace!!;) They provide you with a map, a recorded guide, a snack, and bottled water for the road!! Perfect! :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alberta Quilter Posted April 25, 2014 #21 Share Posted April 25, 2014 Mentally, I am so ready! Physically, not so much. I leave in three weeks and haven't brought out the suitcases, haven't gathered much stuff to ensure it gets packed, and - GASP! haven't updated my spreadsheet with all the plans! It's a shame work gets in the way of my vacation!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yourSLCwoman Posted April 25, 2014 #23 Share Posted April 25, 2014 We start our Alaska cruise in just over two months and I am so excited! Our last three cruises have been in the Mediterranean, so definitely a different packing list this time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
