Jill and Lyn's Great Escape

Hi All - my gosh, we have become the cruise queens (no pun intended!!!!)We are having the time of our lives - I have never seen such luxury & opulence - we have just slipped right into cruise culture - & let me tell you it is a life of it's own. There is so much money on board! It is a cash free environment - everything you do is with a swip card (looks exactly like a credit card & boy, does it act like one!) - it geys you into your room & everything else - including your security pass - when you scan it, your photo appears - it is magic - we don't want to get off! Alaska has exceeded by miles any expectations - we want to move here! We are in Ketchikan on the coast of the inland passage today - we docked at 10am this morning - we already did a line dance class at 9am - it is all go!!! There are so many things to do you don't want to sleep for a minute! There are 900 crew for 2000 passengers - they wait on you every minute of the day & night - the entertainment has been wonderful - hard to imagine that such talented people work on a ship.
We have seen wonderful sights & done great things.
Jill has managed to find a quilt shop in all ports so far!
We have made great friends with some of the other travellers - mostly those that were on the land tour part at the start - we caught the train from Anchorage to Denali & then on to Fairbanks, then flew back down to Anchorage & then bussed to Whittier to get on the ship, so we have had great fun with them. Hard to find them on this huge ship though - if anyone is interested to see what a luxury this ship is, thwen log onto their website as they have a web can & you can do a tour - it is the Coral Princess in the Princess Cruises - 15 floors of floating luxury - you want for nothing!
it is costing a fortune to do this onboard, so with my peck & hunt style I had better make haste!
We have a quieter time today - on land shopping & checking the beautiful town!
Will post again when we get to Vancouver in 2 days. At least it has been smoother sailing the last few days!
Hope you are all well - thank you to those who have posted notes to us on this - it is a delight to get your comments - believe it or not we miss you all!
Special thank you to Al - yep, you can have aprize when we get back.
To SDBKRMC - love you all - miss you madly - Aunty Lyn & Jill
