Alaska Planning!

[Tink1]

I am still waiting to hear pricing from Holland America. Meanwhile, this is what I have from Royal Caribbean. If any one wants inside cabins, let me know. When we get a final count of who is going, we can then determine the amount of ship credit each cabin will recieve (the more cabins we have, the more we get in perks)

Tink,

While I was waiting to get my root canal finished yesterday, I was reading an ad for Holland's Alaskan Cruise. My dentist started talking to me about it. He said it was the best cruise he and his wife have ever taken, and they cruise every year. You know we are there. Have no clue what any of the info, prices mean. LOL And July 11 2004 is one day after my 39th birthday. I guess it will be my birthday gift! :lol:

Wow, That cruise sounds fantastic and this is coming from yet another "Crab," born on the 4th. of July. We'd love to do that cruise some day!!
Here's some news that you may already know, Nanc, I just read in our local paper that, brand new "Mariner of the Seas" will be departing from right in my own back yard (well, not quite) in Stuart, Fl. Inaugural Sailing Nov. 16th. Eastern Itinerary. Seems like more cities along the coast are hopping on the cruise circuit. I'm out to figure where this huge dock will be. Figgy

I have the new official deck plans for the ship online at http://www.yourmagicaljourneys.com/serenade.htm There is also some shipyard pictures of the construction of the ship.

You will need adobe Acrobat to read the deck plans.
