I have just booked our cruise! This is the fulfillment of a lifetime dream for me, to do an Alaskan cruise. I am a single mom, Sue, 47. I will be travelling with my children, Brianna, 16, and Sean, 11, and this is our first cruise ever! We are very excited and are reading everything we can find to learn what to expect. It would be nice to 'meet' some folks ahead of time who will be on our cruise.
