Hi TamaLee,

Welcome to our group. Sure wish you were going with us; it seems like this is going to be a really fun trip. I appreciate you sharing your experiences of Alaska with us. Any suggestions and advice helps in planning things to do when you've never been to a place and are strapped for time.

 

I can’t believe all of the non fish lovers here. I love ALL kinds of seafood and can’t believe so may people don't even like fish. I think if some haven't tried salmon before, they'll really love it grilled. When I saw the pictures of the grilled salmon, I couldn't hardly wait to be there enjoying the whole Alaskan experience.

 

As far as shrimp goes I think Bubba said it best "Anyway, like I was sayin', shrimp is the fruit of the sea. You can barbecue it, boil it, broil it, bake it, saute it. Dey's uh, shrimp-kabobs, shrimp creole, shrimp gumbo. Pan fried, deep fried, stir-fried. There's pineapple shrimp, lemon shrimp, coconut shrimp, pepper shrimp, shrimp soup, shrimp stew, shrimp salad, shrimp and potatoes, shrimp burger, shrimp sandwich. That- that's about it.":D

 

OH my, finally another seafood lover. I thought we would be the only ones. Growing up in S. Louisiana, one almost HAS to love seafood. I love it all except oysters and not ever fried. Just never developed a taste for those little buggers. Come on, y'all, give it a try. I can't wait to taste some of the wild salmon.

All I can say about NolaAlives pictures is WOW! They added 3 pages of Sitka. I have not seen pictures like this in a long time. I couldn't wait for the next page LOL. I liked how they added things we could read with the pictures. I liked reading about the birds, expecially the falcon.

 

Hey Cheri, do you have a link for NOLAAlives pics?

I love seafood and fish as well. I'm bummed that King Crab season isn't until November and Salmon season isn't until August. Oh well.

 

According to the fishing calendars I've seen, salmon season is May to July. Maybe the spawning in the freshwater isn't until August? Anyway, I'm booking a fishing charter in Ketchikan on May 16th, so hopefully it's not too early to catch a few.

 

Hi IndpdntChik, and welcome to our group. We have a main deck wrap cabin, too. Perhaps we'll be neighbors. Hope so. Are you the one that grabbed 4228? We're on the opposite corner.

 

Yes, we napped 4228 about a week ago. Guess we'll be just a couple doors down, then.

Your welcome Annette. Me and Dan are both going to do it.

 

 

GREAT! I think it is such a GREAT charity and a GREAT memory to have that we also did something for someone else on the cruise!

Group walk the Deck for the cure! And even if Carnival doesn't still support the walk The "SPIRITER'S" can do and mail the money in! :rolleyes:

Just cheked out all the Capers. It looks like scrapbooking was each sea day at 2:00. The Walk for the Cure was at 2:00pm on the last day. A chocolate Buffet (12:00 - 1:30) on the last Sea Day! So, Chocolate then walk...don't know about that! The sun rose at 4:00 each morning and set around 9:45pm....Wow! Hard to imagine! Need to go work on the Cattery Website!

I think we'll need the walk after the chocolate!

 

The sun rose at 4:00 each morning and set around 9:45pm....Wow! Hard to imagine!

For one vacation, we drove up and rented a little A-frame cottage near Bar Harbor Maine. We couldn't believe how early the sun rose compared to South Florida!

 

Is anyone else addicted/obsessed with reading trip reviews by other cruisers???:eek:

Kathi, I read alot of the reviews, even ones I am not planning on booking. I love to see what people did and what they thought of their cruises. I love all pictures :D

We went to the chocolate buffet on the Glory. I don't care to much for chocolate but I did sample some the goodies. I didn't like alot of the stuff but I wanted to try it.

Now I LOVED the Mexican buffet. That was a fun night. We got our food and went outside for music. It was fun to watch!

Went to the bank this morning and started talking with a gentleman behind me. We started talking about our hot weather. He said give him the cold anytime. That brought up Alaska! He said him and his wife drove there RV accross country and then took an Alaska cruise. He told me all about what they did and such. I told him we have until May 2010 and he said "planning is half the fun" :D

I think that is true but the waiting is hard. I was looking at more digital scrapbook stuff last night (found the link on CC). I do my grandson a book for Christmas - started it the year he was born so now it's a tradition. I was thinking about doing one with pictures of Alaska- But I should probably wait until we go! I was thinking of using pictures with words, like Whale, Otter, Eagle, SHIP, etc. Last year I did our beach trip! (
