    Alaskan Cruise Shutters CD Cost

    Us too. We bought it the first day, and got 117 BEAUTIFUL pictures. I made my boys crazy, but we got some great pictures.

    Questions for early Alaskan cruisers!

    Taxis were easy to get - there was a huge line of them entering/leaving the port. We got ours from Pan Pacific, though - they just whistled them out of the port line. I can't say enough nice things about the service at Pan Pacific. They wanted $6/bag to store our luggage at the port - Pan...

    Questions for early Alaskan cruisers!

    We were at a computer desk checking in when the computers went down, and were SOOOO lucky. It took about 20 minutes, but they managed to get us checked in, but I understand people behind us waited a long, long time. We got to the port (from the Pan Pacific, so it was not hard!) at about 10:30...

    Questions for early Alaskan cruisers!

    Just as a point of reference - we took a taxi (well, actually two because there were 8 of us and 11 pieces of luggage), but it was only about $35/cab to get to the airport. We were going to take the Skytrain, but it would have been very difficult to get our luggage down the stairs to the train...

    Alaska Excursions--post your reviews here!

    It's just gorgeous, and seemed very safe (although I can't really judge that). The guides are new, but I think they've spent hundreds of hours playing (ahem, testing) the lines. They were very big on safety, and did a training session. The guides were just the nicest young men I've ever met -...

    Alaska Excursions--post your reviews here!

    We were on the same cruise, and did the same whale watch/Mendenhall Glacier as you did - and I think we met you! We met some people in the elevator going up to the visitor's center, and saw a bear on someone's camera! LOL! I would also not do that whale watch again - it was too crowded, and...

    DS's 11th birthday is our first sea day. We ordered decorations for the room, and cake. He's very excited!

    May 10, 2011 (5/10/2011) Cruisin' to Alaska on the Wonder - Who's with me!

    Actually, with the expense of the cruise, and need to buy the FE's as well as the gifts in the next two weeks, I think we're out. I wish we'd planned this earlier. We have two rooms and four kids, and I'd be in charge of both of them as I'm sure my mom and sil would look at me like I grew a...

    May 10, 2011 (5/10/2011) Cruisin' to Alaska on the Wonder - Who's with me!

    Actually, that'd stress me out a little - not sure I could compete! What a long way to travel - but it'll be totally fun!

    May 10, 2011 (5/10/2011) Cruisin' to Alaska on the Wonder - Who's with me!

    I'm not sure there IS an FE yet. It's also our first cruise, and we'd like to participate, but I'm not sure where to start. Anybody more experienced willing to host it?

    I did not get a response, but would still be interested (although I've never done one before). Would it work if there were just two of us... Very quiet group.

    Government shut down and passports?

    I have the same issue, and we leave for our cruise is May 9. We're flying into Vancouver, so I'll NEED my passport - I don't think a birth certificate will work. I called this morning, and the status was that they had it but had not yet processed it (although they cashed my check 2.5 weeks...

    Question about Vancouver Transportation

    I'm not the op - I'm not sure how large that party is. Thanks for the info. I think I need to talk to the rest of the family - some are VERY cheap, and will want to do the train, so I need to see what the consensus is. We'll be one senior citizen, three 40 somethings, a 15 year old, an 11...

    Question about Vancouver Transportation

    Does anybody know how much a taxi might be? We're not arriving until 10:20 p.m., and I've heard customs can take a long time. I'm worried it'll be too late to take the train, and my mom is worried about handling the luggage on the train as well. We're staying at the Pan Pacific, so we could...

    May 10, 2011 (5/10/2011) Cruisin' to Alaska on the Wonder - Who's with me!

    We are on this cruise also. We're a family of 5 (me, dh, ds (15), ds (10 turning 11 on day 2), and ds (7)), and are traveling with my mother and sil and her granddaughter (5). We're in two ocean view rooms on deck two (took advantage of the kids sail free offer, and it was cheaper for my mom...

    Edge vs. Lab...

    Mine turns 11 on day two of the cruise. Where will he be? Anybody know? right now I can register him in the lab on-line (which I did). Should I unregister him so he can go to the Edge?
