Another glorious day at sea was the viewing of the College Fjords and Hubbard Glacier. I love how the water creates a mirror image reflection.

Back to Alaska part four
This cruise I booked a full suite which came with so many perks – including a Concierge Lounge. It was literally across the hall from my suite. Over two weeks I was there every day at least three times as they change out incredible food offerings for breakfast, lunch and dinner bites of deliciousness.
Every Happy Hour my sister, brother-in-law and I would have drinks and enjoy the ambience, often including live music, before heading off to dinner. We played games there many afternoons, often as the only guests in the lounge.
The staff was exceptional, accommodating and fun. I already miss them.
The Suite life was sweet indeed.

Back to Alaska part three
One of the activities on our first sea day was a wine tasting done by the ship’s Sommelier. Wine was paired perfectly with delicious bites which we enjoyed as he gave us a wealth of information about each wine. Good times!

Cruising Alaska – onboard the ship
My first-ever cruise was in April on the Enchanted Princess and this recent Alaskan cruise was on its sister ship, Discovery Princess. I love the layout of the ship which was familiar to me though I have to admit I got lost a few times.
I wanted to share some photos of fun on the ship in this post. We saw Rock Opera, Spotlight Bar and the ABBA tribute show – all were excellent and we also did the Yes/No show one evening – always funny. Several of my group attended a cooking demo followed by a tour of the ship’s galley. The galley tour was fascinating and the cooking demo, done by the Chef and Manager of Restaurant Operations was hilarious – they could have careers as stand up comedians!

Cruising Alaska – The Food
If you’ve followed me on social media you know that I’m all about the food – in day to day life but even more so when traveling.

Cruising Alaska – Day One
I just returned from a one week cruise to Alaska on Discovery Princess. In Seattle, I met up with my cousin and her husband from Portland (Oregon) and my sister and brother-in-law from Vegas for pre-cruise dinner, drinks and a few toasts to the cruise ahead and fun times with family.
This trip exceeded our expectations and judging by the volume of photos I took there will several more blog posts coming soon.
We set sail on 8/3/24 and as we were pulling out of the Seattle Harbor the Captain announced that the Blue Angels were flying for an air show. It was a special treat and great beginning to our cruise. I captured some Blue Angel photos though you may have to squint to find them against the Seattle skyline.
