Posting here also just in case anyone is interested.

I'm booking a private whale watching excursion in Juneau with a company called Rum Runner charters. They have a very small boat that only holds up to 6 total passengers. My 9 year old daughter and I will be on the charter which means we would have room for up to 4 more people. If anyone is interested in joining us, please let me know. The cost would be between $100-$150'per person for the 2 1/2 hour tour depending on how many there are total. This company has excellent reviews online and the pics look amazing.

Let me know if you need more info or are interested!

Best to try avoiding travel to and within the downtown core during the hours identified. Otherwise, do enjoy these seasonal opportunities during your stay.

We are going to be in Vancouver for a couple of days prior to the cruise. If you are going to be there maybe we could visit Steveston together?

Just announced for Storybrooke fans who are looking for a room...

Hi, We are just joining this thread. We booked this cruise last year as a placeholder, and had hoped that we could move it once our son figured out when his fall term was going to be starting. But when we went to change, the prices had gone way up so we decided to stick with this one. I guess it was meant to be!

There will be 6 of us--Husband, wife, 1 adult son and his wife, another adult son, and 1 teenage son.

We would like to participate in the Fish Extender exchange. We have done this on 2 cruises now and we love giving and getting goodies.

Here is our information:
Cabin # (I will have to get you that info later--neither one of us wants to get up to retrieve the info)--We have two adjoining rooms so we will probably just give you one of the numbers

Names, gender and ages of each person in the cabin:
The Mead Family!
Pat, male, 56, favorite character Mickey
Margo, female, 50, favorite character Merida
Cody, male, 29, favorite character Wall-E
Kelley, female, 27 (Cody's wife), favorite character Goofy
Blake, male, 21, favorite characters are from Big Hero 6. Blake has autism but is very smart and high-functioning.
Duncan, male, 17, same favorites as Blake. Duncan also has autism, also very smart and high-functioning.

Any Allergies--Cody is allergic to peanuts.

Special Celebrations during the cruise--none

Any other information you would like to share (shirt size, first cruise, etc) This is our 4th cruise. The boys both enjoy cruises because it's the one vacation where we let them do what they want and don't pressure them to go do stuff. But it's our first Alaska cruise.

Can't wait to meet some fellow cruisers! We had a great fish extender group last time, but it was on fb so we could really get to know each other. I kind of understand the webmasters wanting to maintain control over what's going on with fish extenders and other cruise meet activities, but not totally. We just had such a good group last time and it was really nice to get to know each other. I could keep up on things much better on fb than here. But don't worry, webmasters, no need to yell at me, I will follow your rules.

Regards,
Margo Mead
Portland, OR

[margo12]

I have updated the FE post! There is still plenty of time to join, the cutoff will be June 1. That will give everybody 2 full months in case they want to do any personalization! And we are at 96 days today!!!

 

[NovaDog]

In for fish extender! This will be our 3rd cruise and the FE was definitely one of the highlights in the past. We did 5 night NYC to Canada on the Magic and 4 night Bahamas on the Dream. We'll miss the Aqua Duck but do enjoy the smaller ship size overall.

One question, as our 90 day advance sign up window is coming soon (May 5). How many port excursions are you able to pre-book per port? Is there a one pre booked excursion per port limit (sort of like there is the one Palo pre-book limit) or does it depend upon the timing of the specific excursions?

Anyhow, here is our info - our family plus my wife's parents. We'll be spread across 3 rooms but we'll just do FE for the kids.

Cabin #5624
Cate - age 7 girl
Elle - age 6 girl
Spencer - age 4 boy
No allergies
No favorite characters in particular
Wife's 40th birthday
Cruise #3, first time to Alaska for most of us, and our kids love dogs! Yes, we'll definitely be doing one of the dog sledding excursions!

 

[touchstone74]

Wow! There seem to be a lot of people celebrating 40 on this cruise! I have updated the FE list. Thank you for joining!

 

[B4SugarRush]

Thanks for adding us to the FE list!
