dd likes to cruise Posted August 22, 2016 #182 Share Posted August 22, 2016 Love the pics! We are going to be getting on when you are getting off! 1 question - what are most folks wearing on the cruise ship itself? Like at night and in the MDR.

Very casual, much more jeans than I have seen before. Even for formal night, suits were in the minority.

Ron Don Posted August 22, 2016 #186 Share Posted August 22, 2016 WOW, what a crab leg!! We so enjoyed our time in Juneau & with Harv & Marv glad you did as well. Thank you for bringing back so many memories from our past trips to Alaska and memories from the Radiance in her first year some 14 years ago. We absolutely love your story about your trip, thanks again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare island lady Posted August 22, 2016 #187 Share Posted August 22, 2016 If you have time, stop by the Office Bar In Hoonah for some fresh Dungeness crab.The owners hubby was cooking them fresh to order outside the bar. Got to love a menu that consists of only chowder and crab!!! Great views, too. Always enjoy your reviews. You and Marie are the reason why we have booked a Hawaii cruise. Thank you!!! PS agree, this will be the start of more cruises to Alaska. Mmmm...yes they were indeed good! We went there on both our 8/5 and 8/12 cruise we just came back from! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare island lady Posted August 22, 2016 #188 Share Posted August 22, 2016 The place I picked for dinner was Thorn's Showcase Lounge, borderline dive but a great dive. Warning, you better like buttoned vinyl. This is the home of the "bucket of butts". That's 30 pieces of halibut. Since Marie was having some other seafood dish I just got the conservative basket of butts. Good food, good beer and early Pink Floyd on the sound system. Life is good. Loved it! I had the Halibut basket. Best I have ever had! Very light breading (not the heavy dough type you find most places) plus the seafood chowder. Yums!!

Rare island lady Posted August 22, 2016 #189 Share Posted August 22, 2016 We can see from the window our ship is in. And we were on board as you printed this picture! :) Did you see me waving to you from our corner aft cabin 9256?! ;) :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare island lady Posted August 22, 2016 #190 Share Posted August 22, 2016 :eek: how does early dining work with muster at 7:15 :confused: It's terrible John. We ended up in the WJ, since our MTD reservations were at 7pm. :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare island lady Posted August 22, 2016 #191 Share Posted August 22, 2016 Getting close Wow!! You had a beautiful sunny day!! That's great!! Our northbound leg stop at Hubbard was all cold, spitting rain, and drizzle. We did not see much calving at all due to the cold. :( Was better on the southbound leg though.

Rare island lady Posted August 22, 2016 #192 Share Posted August 22, 2016 Thanks Bill, for posting all of those great pictures! You are really good with the camera! And had great weather too!

Rare niksmom630 Posted August 22, 2016 #193 Share Posted August 22, 2016 I don't know how I missed this thread, but I am now officially caught up! As usual, stunning photos, Bill:) Thanks for taking us along! Alaska has been on my bucket list for awhile, but I think this fantastic review has sealed the deal for me. Looking forward to more!

bdpatrick Posted August 22, 2016 #194 Share Posted August 22, 2016 Thank you for the review so far. We will be on the Radiance for the New Years cruise in Australia. Always nice to see reviews on the ship. Sly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PCWalton1 Posted August 23, 2016 Author #195 Share Posted August 23, 2016 Thank's everyone for the kind words. The Wifi is down on the ship while in Skagway due to the mountains. At least that is their excuse. Here is a couple pics from my phone and I will catch up later. I captured the important points of the day. Finding beer in the Yukon and bring Marie back to the ship.

PCWalton1 Posted August 23, 2016 Author #198 Share Posted August 23, 2016 Hi, sorry for the delay but the wifi was out in Skagway. I finally got pictures uploaded. I will post a few now then we need to leave for our excursion here in Icy Strait Point so I will finish up this afternoon. We took a train ride today up into the Yukon. Actually the ride up was by bus and the return from Frasier was by train. Nice day which means no rain. This is the train we rode on the return trip.

PCWalton1 Posted August 23, 2016 Author #200 Share Posted August 23, 2016 At the border. They call this place Fraser mainly because they need a name for the mail to get delivered to those at are living here and guarding the border. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
