Alaska by way of Seattle

dmoten · June 17, 2013

I have been looking forward to this cruise for over a year, and it is finally here. I leave bright and early for Seattle tomorrow, and my cruise on Carnival Miracle leaves on Tuesday. The photos I have seen and the stories I have heard have me more excited to experience this part of the world on my own. I will definitely post a review when I return.

You’re in for an amazing trip Dee – photos of Alaska simply don’t do it justice! Have a great cruise!

Have a great time in Alaska, Dee. Friends of mine just returned from a cruise through the inside passage and had great weather, and I wish the same for you. I look forward to your review of the ports because it'll be our turn six weeks from today! :laugh:

Thanks for the well wishes everyone. I got out of Atlanta before the weather became atrocious. There are some ladies in the group that were not so lucky.they are supposed to get in today. I did a City Tour of Seattle and it was quite informative. There is a lot of history here, and it was beautiful all day - no rain and you could see the mountains. Only 75 degrees which was a cold snap since I left temps of 95 with a heat index of 105. -Dee

I'm glad you were able to escape the heat, Dee. I hope the mild weather holds out for your voyage north.

Alaska was absolutely beautiful. We had great weather. You are right Amy, the pictures are beautiful but nothing like seeing them for yourself. I was able to get on the caboose of the White PassTrain and OMG it was breathtaking. I would highly recommend that excursion. I am still in Seattle until tomorrow. I should have the review up before the week is out. It was truly a trip of a lifetime, I thoroughly enjoyed myself. I have to figure out my next cruise now. :)
