Lighthouse Point to welcome guests in Summer 2024

I haven’t done it but my Gf has, we chose Princess specifically because they offer land and sea packages and my GFs big regret from her previous cruise was she didn’t see enough of Alaska. We’re doing a 7 day cruise from Vancouver to Anchorage followed by 5 days in Princess lodges at Denali, Mt McKinley, and Fairbanks. It was nice to let someone else take care of the travel and lodging aspect and just pick which excursions we wanted to do.

She said we can do a more relaxing DCL cruise “next time”, which made me laugh because she already knows I’ll want to go back.

You are going to LOVE it. Alaska is amazing. Aside from the glaciers and the mountains, there's this really cool bookstore in Ketchikan...

I will say, having done Alaska twice with DCL, I would like to try it with another line such as Princess. Because Love Boat was a thing when I was a teen.

It’s my first non Disney cruise so I’m both excited and a little nervous about stepping out of my comfort zone and trying another cruise line, the ship looks really nice though (despite being older), the food reviews are good, and one unexpected benefit of not doing Disney is we booked a ton of excursions. We’re so busy on DCL cruises we tend not to book a lot of excursions so we can spend more time onboard, this time we’ve got a whale watching excursion, a bear watching excursion, horseback riding, a side by side adventure, a couple train rides, a dogsledding excursion, a paddle boat ride, some hikes… if there’s a way of moving in Alaska we’re probably doing it.

Writing that reminds me why I’m already looking at a couple DCL Christmas cruises to relax and recover from our Sept Princess cruise.

Whales are very cool in action, but don't discount the seals!!!

Pic from our glacier day, there were hundreds of seals lounging on the tiny bergs that had calved from the giant one, and diving and swimming about...

Here's the glacier...the black dots you see in the foreground are all seals!! Totally awesome. This was 2022
