  3. Hope you have a wonderful time!
    We have been on only one cruise, and it was to Alaska! I think you are going to love Glacier Bay if you are on a Princess cruise. Hope you see a glacier calving. :)

  5. I’ve never been on a cruise and can’t go anywhere as long as diabetic Zima the cat is alive. She’s a feisty girl so probably not leaving the house for years. Luckily she’s cute and keeps me entertained.

  6. I have never been on a cruise, but once while visiting the gulf coast, our family went on a dolphin watch to a pretty, little island. My husband told me that was likely as close to a cruise as we would get! Haha! Have so much fun! Thanks! Angie O.

  7. I doubt you will be buying things at Walgreens since I hear Alaska is expensive. But, maybe you can make a dent using your magic. I suppose Kim will have to be taken to get her a Diet Coke. My friend who is too frugal took a free cruise and used a dolly to bring multiple packages of water and soft drinks aboard.

  8. Been on 5 cruises and Alaska was the best. Scenery was awesome. It was cold standing on deck whale watching.

  10. I'm not sure what I would think of a cruise, as I'm slightly intimidated by a combination of darkness and a large body of water. I've been told with the size of a cruise ship this likely wouldn't bother me. Have a blast! --Angie O.

  11. Kim should smuggle a case of DC in an extra suitcase. I’ve flown with a partial box of wine and it was fine.

  12. I have never been on a cruise. With limited mobility, I would probably not want to go on a cruise now. Well, I never did want to go on one. But, I love hearing about cruises.

  13. I think Kim will survive, but the first few days might be hard :)

  15. The last cruise we did was a 4 day Disney cruise out of Florida. It was Bahamas and their private beach. We did it after the parks so I got a little relaxing in before we went home. I love cruises.

  16. We went for a cruise one year after our wedding. I had health issues and we went to the Grand Cayman Islands where we had a stop at a turtle farm. We went to several other places but my heart was so bad back then I can't even remember some of them. It was fun and I liked all the lovely food options and entertainment that was on the ship. I have been on two more cruises since then. More to come.

  17. You should certainly sneak Diet Coke onto the ship!! Thanks. Angie O.

  21. I've never been on a cruise, so know nothing about them. I do hope you get to see some beautiful sights and some wildlife! I'm sure you'll still find a coin or two AND some diet coke for Kim, probably off ship. Enjoy your fantastic trip!! Debbie :)

  22. don’t think we’d ever go on a cruise unless pets were welcome. And Dirty Daryl Dixon will never pass as a service dog!

  23. Went on my second cruise to Alaska. Made the mistake of going with my mom and my mother in law both! My mom is fun to travel with. But put the two of them together and they get very competitive and mostly about telling me what to do. One says - You're tired you should lay down and rest. Then the other says - No you're not tired. Go with me to do ...... I was pulled in two different directions most of the trip but still enjoyed Alaska!

  24. I would have picked a different cruise back in my Diet Coke drinking days. I had a 20 oz bottle in my hand in almost every picture back then. I stopped cold turkey when I found a worm in a bottle.

  25. Loved Glacier Bay when I went on my Alaskan Cruise. We had a small deck off our room and sat their an enjoyed the sights. Beautiful!

  26. I've never been on a cruise, but I sure am anxious to hear about your trip. Thanks! --Angie O.

  27. I wish I was on a cruise right now. Our air quality is so bad from the fires next door in Northern CA. Next best thing would be - Calgon take me away. lol. Who remembers that? I would love a nice bubble bath but really afraid I couldn't get out of the tub. :)

  28. We did a world cruise that got cancelled 2/3 of the way through, due to Covid! But up to that point, it was very interesting. (We never got our money back, either. The cruise line went bust.)

  29. I think Sluggy will buy clearance stuff and haul it home!

  30. Please don't throw Kim overboard! I like her blog too! LOL. Hope you all had the best time ever. Take care.

  31. I have never been on a cruise but Alaska would be my dream cruise. I hope you have a wonderful time and Kim can survive with Diet Coke. I am on the main list

  32. Can’t remember what I’ve posted and I don’t think some comments worked. But I’m greedy and love to win anything so I’ll add bet you found an Alaskan Rite Aid.

  33. My third cruise was a west coast cruise with my mom. We had a blast as usual. Haven't been on a cruise since then but hopefully one day soon!

  34. How is your AK cruise going? Ours is amazing! We were the only ship in Juneau and Ketchikan. Please enter me maryhazard5@gmail.com

  35. I don’t know if it’s the right season but maybe you spotted some whales?

  39. Honestly, I’m terrified of ships! That aside, you should have delightful fish and seafood diashes. Vanessabrown76@gmail.com

  40. My other guess is you may have seen some wolves. I'm not that familiar but it seems like they had wolves on some survivor show set in Alaska.

  41. On cruises in the past one of my favorite things to do would be to order tea or coffee and a pastry to be delivered to the cabin in the morning. This allowed me a leisurely getting ready for the day. But sometimes didn't stop me from eating a full breakfast a few hours later. lol.

  42. I hope your cruise was everything you had hoped for and then some.

  44. We have been on 3 cruises, all with Norwegian Cruise Line, an awesome cruise line. We chose NCL because we could go and do what we wanted, nothing fancy or frou frou like dining with the captain. As hubby says, it's the everything cruise line. No schedule, no dressing up, diversified restaurants, sit where you want and so much more. We cruised out of NYC, Miami and New Orleans. The N O cruise was the year after Katrina and you could still see the water marks on the buildings downtown! We went to Belize, Cancun, Cozumel, Bahamas, St. Johns, Costa Maya, St. Thomas, Granada, St. Martins and NCL's private island (Stirrup Cay). We had a wonderful time each time we went.

    I hope you had a wonderful time and cruise again. You are so much braver than we are...we are waiting until covid's butt is kicked once and for all and we will cruise again!

    Was the Sawyer glacier on your route?
