ALASKA CRUISE



Hi Everyone. Back from the cruise to Alaska. What a beautiful cruise. If you have not been on a cruise, you are missing out. Look at these pictures. It will take your breath away! Take it from me, go and make memories that take your breath away!




Mark and I Just Before We Sailed Away


Sailing out on the Ocean. Is this Heaven!!!!



The first Iceberg I saw. Look at the blue color!




Blue Iceberg!




Is This Beautiful or What? Look at all the icebergs. Look at the big glacier in the back. Took my breath away!




Can you believe how many icebergs are here?




The ship and Me. Can you guess who's bigger?




Sailing in the ocean. Look how smooth the ocean is! This picture taken from our veranah.




The Glacier at the end of Glacier Bay. Can't see too good in this picture but it is blue.


Awesome!!!!





Iceberg with a bald eagle on top.



Mark with the glacier behind him in the distance.



Me on the top deck with the icebergs in the distance. This ship was 10 stories high.




Doesn't this take your breath away!




What a beautiful day on the ocean to go whale watching. It was 75 degrees, no wind with flat ocean. In the distance, a hump back whale's tail. We saw so many whales and otters.





Ship docked in Ketchikan, Alaska. I tried to get the whole ship in the picture to show you how BIG it is. This ship is 86,000 tons with 1900 passengers. Sebourn Legend which I have cruised on to Italy, France, Spain and the Caribbean is 11,000 tons with 200 passengers. This was different being on a big ship. Holland America was wonderful and we enjoyed the cruise.




Ketchikan, Alaska's First City




Santa and Me




Sorry the picture is sideways. Couldn't get it to turn. This is the eagle at the entance of Ketchikan.



Ketchikan, Alaska


Did you know that the towns of Juneau and Skayway are land locked. You can only reach them by boat or seaplane.


I have so many more pictures to share but these are my favorites. I had a wonderful time and can't wait to go again. This was just what the doctor ordered!

Love,


Debbie
