146.2…The Trip of a Lifetime

There are no words to describe the beauty of Alaska. Our Disney Cruise was amazing. We all had a blast and enjoyed every minute of it. I highly recommend this cruise.

The pictures do not do the beauty of Alaska justice. I will share some of my favorites with you.

We left Vancouver and sailed towards Tracy Arm to see the glaciers.

As we approached, it felt like a scene out of Titanic with all the icebergs in the water.

When we finally arrived at the glacier, it was seriously magical.

You could see pieces of ice fall off and the roar it made left goose bumps all over.

Our first port was Skagway. We took a train ride on the White Pass Railway down into Canada.

The railway was built in the late 1800’s and was used to access the areas where gold was being found.

Our next stop was Juneau. We took a whale watching trip and it was very successful in spotting animals!

Our dinners on the ship were all together. There were 23 of us total! The dinners were my favorite part. I loved watching the kids hang out with their cousins and it was great catching up and sharing some laughs with family.

One night there was a Pirate Theme night. Arrrrrrrr!!

Our final port was Ketchikan. We took a 2 1/2 catamaran ride through the fjords.

To get back we took a floatplane. It takes off and lands in the water!!!
