Booking
I booked this cruise during a Carnival sale back in April. I’ve been watching New York cruises ever since they announced Magic was going there.
I was able to get this cruise for less than half of what I normally see it priced at. I haven’t been on a five-day…

Since I watched all of these movies on the big screen this summer, let’s do this for a change of pace while I’m traveling back from New York. If a movie isn’t listed, I didn’t see it. Regrettably Paws of Fury is one I missed. If you haven’t seen…

Good morning from the capitol of Alaska, Juneau! Whale watching is a very popular excursion here. I did my Whale Watching in Icy Strait Point specifically so I could free today up for Mendenhall Glacier. I’m doing Mendenhall at my own pace so I will be able to have…

I decided to do Mendenhall Glacier on my own. Most of the glacier excursions I read about had people complaining that they didn’t have enough time in the Glacier Center or they didn’t have enough time to walk down to the waterfall. I even read about some who got…

Good morning! Today we’re going to be in Icy Strait Point. This port was originally scheduled to be Skagway. A couple months ago they changed the port to Icy Strait Point. I had a Whale and Bear combo tour booked for this port. That excursion was canceled on the…
