Hi Caroline,

 

I am doing a group cruise to Alaska on the Serenade of the Seas 08/07/05 and I noticed that you are doing it for the Diamond. We sailed the Radiance last July and the weather was perfect for Alaska, I hope you get the same.

What I should have mentioned is that I am the Group Leader for this sailing and we too are waiting for our group pricing! Waiting is the worst part.

We've been lucky on all of our Alaska cruises with weather but generally go in late May or early June.. More people in the "poll" I did earlier this year were interested in July from Seattle so that's why I picked this one.. We went on RCI a couple of years ago and they had no naturalists at all.. did they have last year? that was my only complaint..

They did have a naturalist for when we went to Hubbard Glacier and we got lucky enough to sit with the ship lecturer on the plane ride home. We picked August to do our Group Cruise so we would have a better chance at seeing more bears. What ship did you go on when you sailed with RCCL? We did take the Vision to Mexico a couple of months ago and felt that she just didn't compare with the Radiance. I have been putting together a spread sheet of different tour companies for the different ports let me know if you want a copy and I will email it to you. It's not quite done yet but it's getting there.
