It's been awhile. I'm going on a cruise on the MS Noordam which is apart of the Holland America Cruise Line. I'm extremely excited as this is my 5th or 6th visit to Alaska. I have been to all of these ports before but I still find Alaska to be one of the most exciting places to visit. For more information on my ship, visit the link listed above. (Alaska is a hyper link.) Here is my Itinerary and a map.

Here is some basic info on my ship. The MS Noordam's maiden Voyage was in 2006. It has a cruise capacity of 1918 guests with a gross tonnage weight of 85,000 tons. The length of this ship is 951 feet and it is registered in the Netherlands. Here is a link for a virtual tour of the ship. Tour
On a separate note, the Empress of the North Stern wheel paddle ship that I was recently on ran aground in Alaska last week. What a shame. This was a beautiful American Riverboat that was an absolute jewel. I'm keeping my personal flotation device within arms distance on this trip. Glacier Bay could be an extraordinarily cold swim. :) LOL. Didn't Leo and his costar freeze to death when the Titanic went down after hitting a glacier? Fortunately I have never experienced anything remotely negative while traveling. (I'm knocking on a wood desk as I type this blog).
I will write more and update the blog as my journey unravels.
