The pictures turned out great! Unfortunate the fix blade didn't make the ride for the photo op. Understand the conundrum of taking photos in certain public places, the weird looks of some folks lol. We appreciate you snapping that CRK in there, hell of a shot
Thanks! Yeah, I was hoping for a few photo ops with the new knife in its native environment….but security whisked it away before I’d even made it through the metal detector.
I’ll definitely post a pic or two….although it’s gonna look a bit out of place in the 90 degree Florida sun, lol.
Awesome pics!! We did another Alaskan cruise about 11 years ago on a much smaller Celebrity ship. This time it was a massive Royal Caribbean Quantum class. I will say the smaller ships maneuver much better and get ya much closer to the glaciers and through the narrower fjords. That was our last “family” vacation with our son and daughter before our daughter got married. We did all the excursions on that one, from zip-lining through the canopies and racing dune buggies on an old mining mountain to a seaplane tour of the fjords and a phenomenal whale watching event.
This trip we didn’t have much control over. Our daughter passed away 4 years ago to cancer, so this was all planned by our son-in-law’s family and friends. It was a group of 54, and the minute my wife found out that our two beautiful granddaughters were going she booked the trip. Lol, she never even asked me, but there was no way our granddaughters were going to Alaska with all the other grandparents and not us.
Anyway, my advice to anyone considering an Alaska cruise is to look at the smaller ships and the routes they take compared to the larger ones. This time we were more than content with just a few excursions and some quality time with the girls. The scenery was still exquisite.
Doc, your UK cruise sounds awesome!! I think we’re planning a European river cruise with some friends next year (Viking maybe) but don’t recall the route.
A quick pic of my wife with our granddaughters. I’ll forever be grateful that our daughter and son-in-law went against all my sage advice and had kids right off the bat. The girls are a wonderful extension/continuation of our daughter. Think we’d be lost without them.
