Welcome !! :grin: Howard

Hi and welcome to CruiseCrazies, Just got back last month from an Alaskan cruise. I really don't think that it matters much if you're in the front or the back of the ship. The Inside Passage has very calm waters. As for kids on the cruise, we went over the Fourth of July, and there were very few kids on board. It was chilly (temp anywhere from 50 to 75), and only a few people used the pools. The ports are mostly sightseeing and shopping. From what I hear, children do get bored on Alaskan cruises. Of course, I don't know yours, but mine would not have enjoyed it. Alaska, for me, was a great adventure. This was our best cruise. The place is magnificent. Anywhere you are is beautiful. Whatever you do, enjoy. Howard

Hmmm. I think that I work with a couple of those people. :grin: Howard

I look at most of them at least once a day. There is not much to see vey often, but still, it's nice to dream. :smiley: Howard

Have You Ever Been Diverted? Last year, we were to cruise to San Juan, St. Thomas, and Tortola on the Carnival Legend. Due to Hurricane Isobel sitting just north of Puerto Rico, we were diverted to Key West, Nassau, and Freeport. We got a $50 per person credit, but many people were still disappointed. Since my wife and I have never been to any of the Islands we were going, we were fine with it. The only problem was that the ship's shops had only items from the islands we were supposed to go to. I did send a St. Thomas post card to my office saying" Wish you were here. As a matter of fact, wish I was there". Actually, on the first cruise we took back in 1999, we were cruising to Bermuda in October and were hit by Hurricane Irene and had to sail out of her way (we still had 30-35 foot waves). We lost a day in Bermuda, and there was no credit given. The hurricane was exciting. :wink: How many others were also diverted?

That's great news. The trip sounds wonderful, but we couldn't get time for another cruise this year. Have a great time. :grin: Howard

I cruised on the Leonardo Da Vinci in 1975, but then didn't cruise again until 1999. Since then, we have been on 4 cruises with many more to come. :wink: Howard

Congrats !!! It's not long now. :wink: Howard
