Hope you have a great time, Steve. I'm thinking of surprising my wife
with a Disney Cruise this fall. I'm hoping Disney will have an Alaska
cruise soon.

I have heard so much about Alaskan cruises that I want to take one. Know
people who are jaded world travelers, and to a person they rave about the
Alaska trip. I think that only the hard core cruisers would go,
therefore, the company (people) would be of a better class. I am not a
fan of cold, but I think I could tough it out. I had a chance to go on a
gold mining project in 1974 in Alaska, to the Alaska pipeline, or to
diving school, and I chose commercial diving school. Sometimes I rue my
decision to go South. My brother was a crab fisherman like on TV in the
early 90's when no one knew they existed. I think I'd like everything but
the potentially rough water. BTDT. May check it out after this little
experimental puddle jumper cruise to Meheeeeeco.

Not that cold in the summer when they cruise. Look at Cruise West. Small
boats, wifes anut and uncle have taken a couple. Rave about them.

We did that last June and it was great. I recommend flying into
Fairbanks and doing the land tours first as you work your way south to
catch the boat in Whittier. We used Princess Line for both the land
tours and the cruise. They did a great job with both.

The Disney one starts and stops in Vancouver. I'll check on the
Princess Line. Thanks

Ours stopped in Vancouver also with a bus ride back to Seattle. I
spoke with Chuck Gould a couple of times and he gave us some great
advice on where to stay in the San Juan Islands.

I've got a couple brothers in the Seattle area, so a place to stay is
no problem. We'd probably spend a few days visiting anyway.

If you stay in Seattle, take the train to Vancouver and is only a short taxi
ride to the cruise terminal.

Good idea. I was wondering how to get to Vancouver without big time
imposing on a brother.

Thanks.

My wife's a Disney nut. I enjoy their cruises also, so that's what
we'd do. Until now they haven't had a run to Alaska, but they're
starting next year.
