Alaskan Splendor: Trip Summary and COVID-19

on
August 29, 2022

I enjoyed cruising out of Seattle. There is a lot to do there pre-cruise. In two days I didn’t get everything I wanted to do done. That was with a boundary I set for myself between the stadiums and the Space Needle. I can expand that and come up…

Alaskan Splendor: Debarkation

on
August 26, 2022

Good morning from Seattle! I slept really good last night. This room has been super quiet all week. There has been no screaming, banging, or door slamming. No ship noises. Nothing. If I got warm I would adjust where my head is at the foot of the bed. That…

Alaskan Splendor: Victoria

August 22, 2022

Good morning. It is Memorial Day on the ship. Before I say anything else I want to say I’m thankful for all those who sacrificed their lives so that I can cruise today. I will never forget you.

Here is today’s schedule of events.

Good morning! We are pulling into Ketchikan at just after 7am. I am watching our arrival from the “secret deck” by my room.

Alaskan Splendor: Juneau

on
August 12, 2022

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…

Alaskan Splendor: Icy Strait Point

on
August 5, 2022

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…

Alaskan Splendor: Tracy Arm Fjord

on
July 25, 2022

Good morning. Today we are at Tracy Arm Fjord. I kind of thought when I woke up there would be snowy mountains outside but so far it’s just water. 
         
Let’s see where we’re at

The temperature has dropped four degrees in 10 minutes. I’m curious about…

Alaskan Splendor: Day 2

on
July 18, 2022

Good morning! I’ve been up for a couple hours but I had to do some serious unpacking. Since they didn’t find my luggage until late last night, this the longest I’ve been into a cruise without being able to unpack anything. To make things even more difficult, I had…

Alaskan Splendor: Day 1

on
July 15, 2022

When we left off on Alaskan Splendor: Embarkation I had just boarded. I got a fun ship from the waiter, dropped my backpack in the room and headed to muster station B.

It’s weird how that closet comes out. It’s a narrow walkway.

This muster is as easy as the others…
