Greetings from Edmonton, Alberta (in Western Canada) to Brienc and All Other Cruise Critic Members! - sailing with US to Alaska June 25th - July 2nd, 2023!!!
This is my 5th time doing an "Alaskan Cruise" - why? - I have enjoyed them a lot; the scenery is great & you are close to shore most of the time (seeing land) - it's a great choice for a first time cruise! - this is why my 2 cruising mates are joining me - for their first "Alaskan Cruise"! - & yesterday we three were at our Travel Agent's office to pick up our tickets, etc. - so it's getting more exciting - we are now less than 3 weeks away!?
Regarding Excursions? - you may just want to get off the ship & look around!? - the Ship Excursions can be very pricey!? - but always best to buy off the ship - because if you return late - the ship will wait for you if you bought their excursions - but if you buy something on shore on your own & return to the ship too late - we will be waving goodbye to you as the ship sails away!?
Sorry to say, I'm not on "FaceBook" - haven't been in many, many years now! - could you provide me with more details on what events have been scheduled for Cruise Critic Members? - eg. "Slot Poll" - time & date? - any "Meet & Greet"? - a "Cabin Crawl"? - a "Gift Exchange"? - I'm hoping to bring along some Canadian/Alberta pins to trade if interested?
I really hope to see some serious last minute "postings" on this site!?
