Alaska was fantastic!! Best cruise yet! The scenery was amazing and the people we met on board made this the best cruise my DH and I have ever been on!

I would love to go to Alaska and my husband want just two of us so he said wait until 25th Silver Anniversary and he will take me there...

Just a heads up to the non-FB users.

A bunch of people are looking at doing an "Across the Atlantic" Marathon/Half Marathon/5k. Basically it would entail you running the appropriate amount of miles (depending on the race you choose) over the course of the cruise. You can split it up any which way you want (a mile a day, 13.1 in one day) and complete it at your pace. This is for walkers/runners/bunny-jumpers/or any way you can manage to get to the "finish line". You will get a certificate of completion and IF we get enough people signed up, we could possibly do a medal for a small nominal fee.

Any takers????

Sounds interesting as we usually walk a couple or three miles per sea day anyway on the cruises BUT how is this going to be monitored if people do it when they want? Or is it going to be more organised than that?

It will be on the honor system!

I'm down for it. 2 miles a day?? easy. Lol It'll give me a goal to keep working the baby weight off while we're on the cruise! And all the extra food weight I'll be trying NOT to gain! Probably count both me and my DH in, we'll just have to take turns doing our runs with the baby..

Thank goodness we GAIN an hour on many days for WBTA. For EBTA this summer we had a large group do this as well (also coordinated by a cruiser) but once we started having to move the clocks BACK day after day... we started dropping like flies from our group walking/running time. I failed miserably in getting up early, and if I don't do it first thing, I can forget it.

We also did it as honor code and had sheets to keep track with that were Disney-fied

Hi, we booked the WBTA on the last Alaskan Cruise! Looks like we will be meeting a lot of fellow cruisers again!

Me too! I would love a Hawaii cruise, and am trying to talk my family into a big group for an Alaskan cruise.

It will be on the honor system!

We had a group do this on the EBPC 2012. I think it worked out well, but I did not participate.

Yea at least 6 hours.... That should be plenty of rest! Lol

Welcome Aboard!!!

Late dining becomes a little less crowded when dessert rolls around near the end of the cruise LOL. But even after 14 days, some of them being 25-hour days, you still won't want to disembark....

Now it's less than a year and I'm back from this year's trip to WDW I need to start planning in ernest

OK sorry to think about getting home 1st, but what sort of time flight is it best/safest to book from San Juan please? What sort of time do you normally leave the ship, is it after breakfast? We've booked Disney transfers to the airport - don't know if that was a sensible idea or not as I assume it won't give us the opportunity now to look around San Juan. I was thinking lunchtime would be OK for our flights (about 1:30pm), we're planning to fly to Miami for a few days before heading back across Atlantic.

Ever since a drunk driver hit me head-on and smashed my knees into the dashboard , they just haven't been able to handle the pounding. Cycling is another matter - but I think Disney may frown on that!

Ooo, yea you got me on that. I'm sorry that had to happen to you, or anyone else for that matter.

Ok, we'll take a cheering section then! I know I'll need the motivation especially toward the end of the 14 days.. Lol
