Still Cruisin'

We interrupt our photos and memories of Alaska this morning for a word about cruising. Our Alaska Adventure was built around a Princess Cruise, and our rail trip took us from the land portion to Whittier where we boarded ship on a Monday evening. We have sailed on three lines: Princess, Carnival and Holland America, all sister lines and all wonderful experiences.

As far as we are concerned, only a few types of people should cruise: those who enjoy food, shows, adventure, relaxation, other people, being alone . . . The vacation that gives you the choice every day how much or how little. Most of us go for the much and save the little for everyday life.

Most cruises board between 1:00-4:00 PM, but the long train ride to Whittier put us on deck nearer to 8:00. Coral Princess is, as expected, a beautiful ship. Dinner, some visiting, and a long day was over. A great night's sleep led us to College Fjord, subject of the next post.
