@Saint Greg Looking forward to another of your detailed live reviews! I'm finally going to Alaska next summer so I'll be following along on which excursions you enjoy the most!

Welcome to the NCL side, look forward to your review as always, our first Alaska cruise was on the Jewel in early Sept. 2019 and we had beautiful sunny and warm weather.

Last night was metal and UFC

Sean O’Malley is one of my favorite UFC fighters to watch. He won the championship last night. 
 

He’s got good hair. Nothing wrong with having pink hair this week.

Whoa they jacked up the price on the mountain top forest tram! If you look at the summary I posted, it was $79 and I paid $29. Now it’s $129!

 

 

We did this exact excursion last summer on Carnival.  The ride up is nice, but there is nothing to do once you get to the top.  The “open air tram” was a trolley pulled by a ATV-similar to whaat you would ride at the fair to get from the parking lot to the midway.   We ate dust and dirt the entire time we were on the ride.  1 star do not recommend.

Tonight is the big one. Metallica. And if you can’t be there you can join me at a theater near you.

Alaska Alaska Alaska…..Alaska

Following along, I’ll be sailing on Norwegian Bliss in October so not the same itinerary but I’ll have cruise newbie with me on her first cruise. 

[Lupush]

Nice!  Welcome to the NCL board, Greg.  I've followed and enjoyed your Carnival live reviews.

[ULCajunCruiser]

Hi Greg, happy to see another of your reviews.   I'm curious to see what you find to replace the Alchemy???

When I was a teenager I lived in some apartments on Randol Mill just a block from where the ATT stadium is now.  Of course it wasn't there back then. My first job was the Jack in the Box that is there lol. 

[Saint Greg]

At least there is AC in here. We were outside for an hour and a half.

Following along. Just got back from a July Alaska cruise on Quantum of the Seas and liked it so much we are now booked on NCL Encore for next August.

 

I'd like to do a one way next time with a couple days in Alaska to explore more.

…I thought the entertainment and food was great but the pool areas did not flow well…

Very important. I would even say with no flow there really is no pool.

Just starting to look at other cruise lines having sailed on Royal (44) and on Celebrity (4). What is the “flow” you’re talking about or is it a joke that I’m not getting?
