brunolvr Posted June 21, 2009 #1 Share Posted June 21, 2009 Okay, I know the 2009 season is only a month or so old, but who's booked an Alaska cruise for next year? We just booked the NCL Pearl for May 30, 2010 and I don't know how I'm going to be able to stand the long, long wait. We got back from our 7th cruise to Alaska just 2 weeks ago today, and I'm ready to go again!:D Who's going to play the waiting game with me?:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We got back from our 7th cruise to Alaska just 2 weeks ago today, and I'm ready to go again!:D Who's going to play the waiting game with me?:) We just returned a few weeks ago as well and are already contemplating cruising to Alaska next May as well ;) I think we're leaning towards an AB Penthouse on the Star as we are rather fond of her and it's been a while since we've sailed on her :) Hopefully we'll be booking soon and we can join you in the waiting game!

cnrhall Posted June 21, 2009 #3 Share Posted June 21, 2009 We're booked on the Celebrity Millennium S/B, June 18th. I can't wait! This will be our 1st time to Alaska. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimswims Posted June 21, 2009 #4 Share Posted June 21, 2009 I am almost certain that we will be booking either the Star or the Pearl to Alaska the first week in July or the first week in August in 2010. I am trying to decide which is the best itinerary to do. The Star is more economical (we will be in an AB) for us so we are leaning that way. I am looking for advice on those who have been on both.

Rare Coral Posted June 21, 2009 #7 Share Posted June 21, 2009 I am planning a B2B on Princess (Vancouver - Whittier - Vancouver) or 14 night out of Seattle. Will probably go last week in May and first week in June. At least that is the plan. I will probably wait until spring to book it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fsdj1097 Posted June 21, 2009 #12 Share Posted June 21, 2009 We just returned from our cruise aboard the ms. Amsterdam and have already booked for 2010. Our next cruise will be a R/T Vancouver aboard the ms. Zuiderdam. We decided to take the true inside passage cruise again this year for a couple of reasons. We enjoyed the scenery on our 2005 cruise aboard the ms. Zaandam and my brother was so smitten with Alaska last year he couldn't wait to go back.

Assateague Island Princes Posted June 21, 2009 #21 Share Posted June 21, 2009 Me, Me, Me!!!!! (Picture me waving my hands in excitement:pLOL!). My husband and I along with another couple are booked on HAL's new 14 day roundtrip Seattle itinerary sailing to "new" ports of Anchorage (not Seward or Whittier), Kodiak, and Homer. Very excited if you can't tell!! This is our third cruise to AK, and our friend's second to AK. It has gotten into my blood, and I just keep getting called back - it feels like home! A whole year to wait is a bummer, but I enjoy all the planning, reading on these boards, requesting brochures and pouring over the excursion listings, so I'll be fine. Plus I'll live vicariously thru those fortunate enough to be going this year while the prices are rock bottom. Lucky them! But lucky us too! 2010 can't come soon enough! :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am jealous of you. So it is your job to have fun for me and I will wave my hands with excitement for you okay!!!:p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Assateague Island Princes Posted June 21, 2009 #23 Share Posted June 21, 2009 Thanx cw2go - I'm counting on you waving your arms and shrieking with delight as well! LOL! We sail May 31, 2010 and believe me, it can't come soon enough! So excited for those new ports, as well as other ports that are "new" to us - we've not been to Skagway before, nor have we sailed Tracy Arm, so that will be interesting and fun as well. Plus, we arrive in Victoria at 2PM, which will be very different than arriving at 6PM and leaving at midnight. YAHOO! Gonna be fun!:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sunny AZ Girl Posted June 21, 2009 #24 Share Posted June 21, 2009 DD & myself are booked on the Carnival Spirit on July 13, 2010! I started a Roll Call, but no responses yet. DH won't go to Alaska so I decided to go with my (then) 27 yo daughter, before she gets married and life gets busier for her. I will be cruising the MR with DH in April. Come join us! This will be our first trip to Alaska and our first Carnival cruise.:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A 14-day cruise to Alaska--that sounds great. On which ship? What is the itinerary? Does HAL offer any type of dining that isn't so dressy? That is, besides the buffet?
