ALASKA - August 30th, 2011 - Mickeys Mooseketeers & the last Alaskan Cruisade! New Th

[PBader]

Yeah, your 1st picture!!!

 

[HiMagicFan]

I could go on and on and on.....

Oh Wow!

Now I really have my fingers crossed!!!!!

 

[HiMagicFan]

VERY VERY CUTE!!!!

 

[HiMagicFan]

Funny too cuz if you look closely we can see you taking the pic in the doorway.

Really did a great job on that FE

So we'll plan a Northen Light deck party, Ketchikan would be the easiest night because it is a sea day the next day. But would Skagway be better since we would be the most north?

We can ask the Bridge to get a forecast on the lights, there are predictable conditions that give us better chances to see them

Doesn't mean we will see them but it can be fun sitting up and trying.

Yay for everyone getting their docs!

Loved all of the really cute and creative FEs! My brain has lots of creative ideas, but my hands don't seem to want to follow its lead.

Wow, we would love to see the Northern Lights! My husband is a natural night owl, but I'm good at catching a few ZZzzzZzs and then waking up. Plus, the project I mentioned awhile back has had my team pulling some crazy all-nighters so my sleep pattern is all out of whack.

Hope everyone is having a great weekend!

Good idea about asking Mike! Sounds like we may have a gathering

Since you mentioned that Paula...has anyone thought about the best way to get the word out to folks about an impromptu gathering once we're all on board if someone finds out a good night for seeing the Northern Lights, for example?

 

[PBader]

PJ, hopefully a lot of us make it to the daily gatherings at the Promenade Lounge at 4:30. I'll remind everyone about it at the 1st meet at 3:15 on the 30th.

 

[tracyvansmith]

PJ is right, if we were lucky enough to be on deck, would we really be able to see them?

Is it like a stream of color across the sky? I would hope that if they did happen I would know what I am looking at.

Here's hoping for some

found a time laps video for you to see of the northern lights so you know what to look for. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qIXs6Sh0DKs

 

[tracyvansmith]

Here is another vidoe that is normal time so you can see how much the more (dance). Some times the dance a little and then other times the dance a lot.

Here is today's forecast.

This site also has a mobile app that I put on my iphone and it forecasts about a week out on that. So, it's looking good for this week's cruise! 2am is supposed to be the ideal time to see it. Let's keep our fingers crossed!

 

[PBader]

Thanks for the video links Tracy! They were very interesting

Melissa, here's hoping Can we count on you to give us a forecast everyday?

Sure thing! I'll also check out the forecast before we sail and let everyone know what they are projecting. Can you tell I want to see it really bad?

 

[PBader]

Trust me your not the only one

 

[HiMagicFan]

OH WOW, OH WOW, OH BOY!!!!

I am so gonna pray hard that we get great weather and lights! Wondering if Walt can work some of his magic for us...wouldn't that just be great!

Sounds like we will do one of those telephone lines to be sure everyone gets the word if the party is on! (or maybe we should just party on anyway). Thanks Paula for the reminder...gonna have to check in some other way since I probably wont make the meets as I plan to still be in port

Jumping up and down

Hello Everyone, I haven't posted here before but I am a big Disney fan and have been watching all of your great comments on this posting. Our son has a tree nut and peanut allergy so it's the only company we trust when travelling. This will be our first cruise

I wanted to let everyone know of a great and less expensive option if people are looking for a helicopter tour. We have booked a tour in Juneau with era helicopters: eraflightseeing.com/content/index_eng.html

They drop you off on a glacier for 15 minutes...eeeee...so exicited. But I wanted to mention that we found a coupon at toursaver.com that is a 2 for 1 deal. Hope that we may see some of you on our flight...it will be three of us (Annette, Kooper and Matt).

thank you for all of the great information on the Northern Lights...see u on the cruise.

We just have to hope they can get permission to turn off the lights for a little bit to give us a good view.

Who's willing to charm the captain?
