Rare Ozark_Kid Posted May 12, 2022 #1 Share Posted May 12, 2022 This post was recognized by LauraS! "Thanks for generously sharing your time at sea with everyone at Cruise Critic!" Ozark_Kid was awarded the badge '"Live from...."' When you book a cruise to Hawaii and it gets canceled what do you do? Yes! Go to Alaska! Makes sense. I am leaving 91° , feels like 101° weather to where I will be lucky to see temperatures above 55°! 🥶 My body does not handle below 55° weather well. Should I be doing this? As I am typing the Jackson 5 started singing, "Got to Be There"…. 🤔 I have been following along @graphicguy great live review. Once he posted the ice cream machine was up and running on Ovation it got me excited. Even though I may not visit it as much as I do in the Caribbean, I need my traditional ice cream visit. Let’s go! 26 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Ozark_Kid Posted May 12, 2022 Author #2 Share Posted May 12, 2022 My 1st and only live review was on Symphony back in October. Being a first live was challenging but my CC friends got me through It. Visiting familiar ports made it a bit easier. This is our 1st trip to Alaska. There is much to do at the ports. Maybe some others cruising this week will pitch in. 10 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ScubaCat3 Posted May 12, 2022 #12 Share Posted May 12, 2022 I’m in Seattle already. Today’s forecast is rain with a high of 51 degrees. The good news is that the rain should end overnight to give us a cool but rain-free boarding day. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Ozark_Kid Posted May 12, 2022 Author #13 Share Posted May 12, 2022 We had to be dropped off early. Our plane leaves at 1:20 so we have a 3 hour wait. Check - in was a breeze. While checking in our bags the lady noticed we were going to Seattle. We told her we were cruising to Alaska and she was so exited. She asked me to right down this review! I hope she is able to find it! Going through TSA was so quick. We are waiting for our cruise friends to join us. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for joining in! 51⁰ 🥶 It's almost 11am here and it's 87⁰ and forcast to be 92⁰ when we fly out. It's hot here. Thought I would say that now. I don't think I will have that opportunity the rest of the trip. 1 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Ozark_Kid Posted May 12, 2022 Author #15 Share Posted May 12, 2022 I shared this on another thread. My DD is getting into making polymer clay ear rings. She finished making these last night for Sharon and friend to wear on the cruise! 21 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Ozark_Kid Posted May 12, 2022 Author #23 Share Posted May 12, 2022 We have landed in Denver, grabbed something to eat and now only have 3 more hours to wait. If I remember this food, I will not have any complaints about the cruise food! I have never been to the Denver Airport. We are in the Southwest Airlines area. I looked down to the floor below use and it reminded us of Starwars. 6 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ScubaCat3 Posted May 13, 2022 #25 Share Posted May 13, 2022 The sun just popped out in Seattle. Time to get ready for a cruise! It has been 48 degrees with rain and wind all day so this is a beautiful sight! 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
