Disney Cruising to Alaska??? - Page 5

I am still disappointed they are not setting out from Seattle. I would have loved to see the ship come and go. Sigh.

I'm intrigued by the Alaska cruise but I must admit that I'm put off by the thought of there being 500 people on board I know. It won't feel like a vacation if I'm constantly running into people I know beyond my immediate travel companions.

But we'll probably put in a deposit and see how we feel as it rolls around.

I heard they didn't get passage through Glacier Bay.

That alone would make me think of using a different line for AK cruises, but I am excited about the Mexican cruises.

Here is the port info for the Alaska cruises, including the repo from LA to Vancouver:

Possibly - I'm not sure of what ports are around Glacier Bay.

It's not far from skagway/Juneau but if it's not listed as a stop, they don't go there.

There are only 153 ships allowed in per season (2/day). So there is a competition between lines. Disney Cruise Line submitted a proposal but withdrew from the competition. Effectively freezing them out of glacier bay for the next ten years. (no pun intended).

I wonder why there is no mention of visiting Hubbard Glacier. Ahhh... They visit the "Twin Sawyer" Glaciers.

They are new to me, has anyone ever seen them? How close can the ship get?

I'm definately doing this - just looking at which dates.

Might be cool to be on an Alaskan cruise on my birthday.

Tim will be getting up before the birds to book this one for anyone who wants to have him help them out with the booking.
