Kayaking sounds fun but I am just so nervous about tipping over! Or not being able to get the hang of kayaking.

Looking forward to Skagway! We are doing the Skagway Street Car City tour. :) We will be there on July 22!

That is good to know, pretty much what I thought. This will be my husbands first cruise and I am REALLY hoping that he'll love it as much as I do. :D

Welcome :)

Welcome! :)

What is the average cost of ship's laundry? I've never done laundry or ordered the service while aboard a ship, but I just looked up the rates for Carnival. Self-service is $3.50 per washer or dryer load. To have the laundry people clean your clothes will cost between $2.00 and 7.50 per article, depending on what it is. Dry cleaning costs between $3.50 and $10.50 per item. I imagine the other lines rates would be similar. Of course, laundry services are free if you're a cruise line's top level loyalty member. We are going to Alaska for several weeks including a week on a cruise. I'm going to try to get laundry done before getting on the boat and then maybe after. I think it's a bit pricey plus who wants to waste time doing laundry while on board lol! Good to know if there's a clothing emergency, the option is there.

Welcome :)

I have heard that the cruise lines will offer deals if you book your next cruise while you are on a cruise. Is that true?

We're planning on Alaska!! I've only been on 2 cruises and both were booked directly from RC. Some of theses websites/ offers look scary to me!

Funny! No one likes a Magician/ illusionist or at least so far!

Travis is a real bargain shopper and has been finding "deals" but I like the idea of booking through the cruise lines. What do you do? And if you go with the bargains what are some reputable sites? What about travel agents? I would be devastated if we showed up for our honeymoon to find that things aren't what they should be. Thoughts? Advice? Please and thank you

I'm a joiner and Travis is a watcher but he'll join in with me from time to time :)

I guess I'm on the other end of the spectrum. I totally would as long as I looked nice. I think dress shorts might be able to be pulled off. :) I once wore flip flops under my formal dress on one cruise! After all it's all still vacation! :D

Not yet :\ We've got it figured out down to a month and as of right now August 2012 is the target! Now just to fine tune it! :)

Hi everyone! I am re-new-ing myself :) I used to post often and am back. Since my hiatus I have gotten engaged and we are looking to go to Alaska for our honeymoon!! And as of late, we've been talking of possibly cruising to the Bahamas for our birthdays! Travis, my better half has never been on a cruise so I am looking forward to showing him the greatness that is cruising!!

Thanks everyone! It's fun to be back.

Wow! I would love love love to be on that cruise. I saw JM in concert and it blew me away. So here for other JM fans is a link to a slide show of photos I took at the JM concert, the captions say it all Enjoy!

I'm going to mark it in my calendar! You're not too far away for me :)
