Young Disney Cruisers

     
"I had a lot of fun.  I got my hair done in corn rows and I got a little too much sun, but I had a lot of fun."

One couple who cruised in Alaska on Carnival's ship "Spirit" this is their message when they returned.

"We had a great time. I wish we would have rented a car and did some driving of our own, besides the land portion. We were able to get a free bus from the airport - and we did get the credit on board. Thanks for telling me to look around for an agent. Cause - two other couples were told to just get a cab. Our bus had only two people on it - us! It was a big greyhound type bus. He even stopped for us to get a pix of a moose, right out side the airport gate. The room was super. Just what we wanted. Thanks for everything. Our next trip will hopefully be the Panama Canal - all the way through, so keep your eyes out for us." JG

Email from Client who sailed Princess Cruise Line to Alaska, May 05...

"Alaska was great again.  Our travel friends took the Mendenhall glacier & whale watching tour (Juneau) which they really liked.  They also enjoyed the train ride in Skagway.  We took the tour to Liarsville and the bus traveled parallel to the train route.  It was inexpensive and we liked Liarsville a lot. 

The Butchart Gardens (Victoria) are gorgeous and worth a trip but I would recommend passing on the winery add-on.  That was my second trip to the gardens and I enjoyed it just as much as the first time.  In Ketchican, we took the horse-drawn trolley which was economical and quite enjoyable.  We spent the rest of our time just walking around.  Plenty to see in this very quaint town... 

During the trip into Glacier Bay we stayed in our cabin. Princess offered a special room service Champagne Breakfast...about $25 and worth every penny.  The views from our balcony were terrific.

The shows on board are great and there was lots of nightlife.  The Skywalker club on the 18th deck was the best.  It had a panoramic view.  It was closed during the day (until 4 p.m.) for bar service creating a beautiful quiet spot to meditate, read or just watch for wildlife.  Once the bar opened, it became our favorite place for cocktails while whale watching.  At night, it’s a disco.

Our hotel in San Francisco was the perfect choice for us.  Reasonably priced in a fantastic location...The Chancellor at Union Square.  The staff was terrific and very helpful.  We stayed in a lovely room with a view of Union Square.  The trolley stopped outside the door, which we rode a lot with our day pass (which we bought right in the lobby at the tour desk). The pass is a deal since you can ride unlimited all day.  We could get anywhere in town within minutes by walking, bus or trolley.  I wrote a complete review on TripAdvisor.com.  Also a show in San Francisco not to be missed….Beach Blanket Babylon.  It was fabulous.  I would liken it to a Saturday Night Live, the musical.  We laughed ourselves silly and it was reasonably priced.  The show is in North Beach (Little Italy) and there are lots of restaurants nearby to visit before the show.

Amtrak was great... the food was very good and the trip was so relaxing.  The views from San Francisco to Seattle were spectacular.  I highly recommend this trip and the coach seats are very comfortable, making it unnecessary to pay for sleeper accommodations."  SH

Visit Antarctica - The White Continent and the beautiful fijord region of Chile, areas of the world that offer the most magnificent mountains, fijords and an abundant wildlife to the few people who are fortunate enough to visit.

Galapagos Islands - the once in a lifetime destination, days are filled with the wonderment and awe that inspired Charles Darwin.
