A WONDERful 'crew boat' trip to Alaska! (Update 1/21/15)

[motheroftheyear]

We just returned from an amazing once in a lifetime trip, the 2014 August 25th sailing to Alaska. I have read so many helpful trip reports over the past year, I am doing one for our trip as a way to pay it forward.

My three year old has spent the last year talking about going on a 'crew boat' to Alaska, therefore the name of the trip report.

First Installment, the day before...

Love your report so far! Your kids are adorable. I"m still cracking up at your son getting busted at the hotel.

Love your blog including the non-vacation posts! I'm subscribing.

I am so glad you are enjoying it! I feel like I have written a novel and we aren't even on the boat yet!

I'm excited to read the next installment of your cruise... I love it and I must say, some of your pictures had tears in my eyes..

Can't wait for more. I love that you and security supported each other when your son was "busted" Pretty cool that it lasted all week too.

We are going next May to Alaska on the members cruise. I have already booked 4 nights pre-cruise at the Pan Pacific, thanks for confirming this choice, that it is worth the money, just to see the Wonder, outside of your room on embarkation morning. I know that I, too, will be up early to see her in the harbor.
