Official May 17th Alaska Cruise Thread!

[JTN2005]

thank you..............that is what I read, I thought maybe someone knew something that I did not. We are very excited just to be on this cruise.


Also if anyone sees a deal after the cruise for 1 night on the 24th, please post it. We are staying in Vancouver on the night of the 24 but no room yet.


Thank you

I checked and the Pan Pacific IS NOT the 5-star listed on Hotwire for those dates. I will try to keep you updated.

I have to admit, I haven't been following this whole thread, but where is the blog?

Depending on where dinner is we may want to do dinner, I had gotten some ideas from lollipop mom aka Liz about the best places to go for the evening and we still have not decided as of yet. I am still to excited about the hotel to think of what to do after.

 

[kris3kid]

I just read the blogs, WOW I can't wait to get there.

Does anyone know if there is a pirate dress up night on the Alaska cruise?

 

[LoveMickey]

I'm glad I'm a lurker. Thank you very much for the info on the Pan Pacific. We're flying in Sunday and I got both nights at the great rate - for 2 rooms.

What's the best way to get to the hotel with 4 Adults and 2 children - one of which is 2 years old.

Thanks folks - you are the best.

I don't think anyone knows for sure about Pirate Night, but since Pirates IV will premier on our cruise, we are planning to dress up for the movie.

I would probably grab a minivan cab. If you don't see one have them call you one!

White spot is a good place to eat and is a 5 min cab ride or about 20 min walk. They have kids meals that come in pirate ships with gold coins! Really fun for them. Food is good, good portions and has regular and pacific northwest cuisine. Adults can eat here for $10-25 each ranging from burger and fries to salmon and steak.

Thank you for the info on getting from the airport to the hotel. And for the info on White Spot - I was looking at the hotel places to eat - quite expensive, especially if you have little ones that don't eat a lot of food.

We'll try White Spot. I was also thinking of going to Stanley Park. I assume we can get a cab, but is there any public transportation. I heard the public transportation system in Vancouver is excellent.

We are getting excited. Hope I'm bringing enough warm clothes - I'm going with the layering theory.

Yah our public transportation is really good. Another neat thing to do is take the sea bus across from Canada place area (you will see sea bus signs) over to Lonsdale Quay (Pronounced key). It drops you off right at the market - its got tons of great food things and also the famous Beaver Tails that used to be in Epcot. All independent 'fast food' of many different types and cultures- you can get a burger/fries, or sushi, stir fry, chinese, pizza etc...etc...etc..
Also a good market there and a kids play place. There is a Please Mum there, which is our Canadian kids store similar to Gymboree. Tons of fresh produce, but also local handicrafts... really fun little place to go!

 

[Lollipop's Mom]

So I just realized - I am leaving in 10 days and have NOTHING organized or packed. lol.
I am running a big event on t he 15th that is taking up tons of my time all next week for prep, really need to get in for a hair cut, have to take my daughter for a dress fitting next wednesday, have to zip down to WA state tomorrow -plus work my regular job all week!- when the heck am I going to do laundry and pack? LOL
I am thinking on Sunday - mothers day - my day to relax... lol
