This was a surprise trip for my Northern Ireland cousin Stephanie, who has had this dream since she was a child! My brother, Mike, husband Gordon, and myself all put this trip together and it knocked the socks of Steph and the rest of us!! Upgraded to balcony which proved the ultimate decision for early morning and later at night. Sitka, we did the pub bike ride - what a laugh, with an awesome drink called The Duck Fart - honestly folks, it's the truth and really great! Equal parts Kailua, baileys, and Canadian Club whiskey.
Blue skies and blue/green water all the way...gorgeous weather. May 28th 2017 - best fun doing night time outdoor movies all bundled up with pizza and cookies - lots of laughter especially when we hit a huge fog bank and had to contend with ships foghorn every couple minutes - learned to lip read!! All had s blast and would redo in a heartbeat - whale watching in Juneau and walked Ketchikan- greT weather, food, company, and the ship was amazing as usual!
We were about 3hrs late in leaving Vancouver, but gave us time to explore the ship and enjoy the Vancouver skyline. A dream come true for stephanie but a realization of a dream we didn't know we had until we made the trip!! Family rules!!
