Hi Margaret, You are going to love it!! Also, you may be interested, we have a couple of new Alaska cruise videos coming soon for the new Alaska season. Thank you for your kind words and coming along on our journey around the world.

Thank you for your comments and coming along on our journey around the world.

Thank you

We need to get another cruise together. I can’t wait to meet your daughter and son-in-law. Sounds like they’re a ton of fun.

Absolutely, 100% Thank you for the comment and coming along on our journey.

That's funny!!! It's a hefty deposit :) Good Luck, Safe Travels and Thank you

It’s was an excursion through Carnival while we were in Tracy Arm Fjord. The excursion was limited to a fairly small group because of the smaller ship sizes and they will sell out. I will say it was difficult to find the excursion because it was incorrectly labeled as being out of our embrkation port, and not Tracy Arm Fjord. This information was in the full description. The actual name of the excursion was Tracy Arm Fjord & Glacier Explorer. We had the early excursion, but I know there was an afternoon one as well. I hope this helps. Safe travels. You’re going to have an awesome trip!

it was amazing! We booked that excursion through Carnival. We booked it shortly after we booked the cruise, we were afraid it was going to get booked up if we waited too long. We are heading back to Alaska next April. We are thinking we may do the helicopter tour on a glacier this time. It’s pricey, but, the people that we sat with at dinner on our last Alaska journey did it and said it was unbelievable as well. Safe Travels🎉

We stayed at the Marriott Le Méridien Hotel in San Francisco's Financial district. Our room window faced the cruise port. It was an easy walk to the port or you could take a shuttle from the hotel to the port. Thank you for coming along on our journey around the world. Happy cruising!

Hey Mark, thanks for the comments. We unfortunately never got over to the thermal suite. I’m not even sure if they have one on the miracle. You probably would know better than me. I guess that something I need to look out for on our next cruise.

August, I’m thinking the weather will cooperate. We had a hard time packing because we did a back to back. We went to Alaska first we got back to San Francisco then headed over to Hawaii so we had a climate change of clothes that we had to pack. I would definitely bring the flip-flops. The biggest thing in Alaska is rain. I would pack a lightweight rain jacket, or a couple of disposable rain ponchos you can get at the dollar store. A fleece is probably the most you’ll need for a warm jacket. I definitely would recommend a pair of long pants, a hat & light weight glove as a just in case. We had friends that went in August and every day was sunny and beautiful. It’s pretty much hit or miss. I hope you guys have an amazing trip and safe travels. Thank you for commenting.

Leaving next Monday from SF? I'm on the same cruise if so

Both :)

We booked the excursion through Carnival. I don’t remember the exact cost. But, it was pricey for my budget. I’m guessing $249. each. Thanks for watching and thanks for coming along on our journey. We will be doing a Hubbard’s glacier cruise next April on the Luminosa.

Mariott Le Meridien located in the heart of the city on 333 Battery Street. The bar is 333. We walked from the hotel to the cruise port. Thanks for coming along the journey. Happy Cruising
