We just got back from spending a week cruising Alaska. We were on the Royal Caribbean cruiseline. It was an amazing trip for the scenery. We saw whales, dolphin, eagles, even a bear.
This was one of the dress up nights while on the ship. 
This was definately a cruise for nature lovers and scenic views. This was taken in Tracy Fijore. The glacier you can see up between the moutains in one of the largest moving glaciers in the world.
We took a helicopter ride out to another glacier. I think we all enjoyed the helicopter ride more than actually seeing the glaciers.
The most peaceful part of the trip was a kayacing tour through a Bald Eagle preserve. While paddlin we saw a 600 pound brown bear eating salmon and many eagles in the trees and flying above us.
Th is was a large glacier that we flew to in the helicopter. In the last 100 years it has moved 45 miles, creating an 800' valley below it as it moves towards south.
While in Prince Rupert, BC we took a really nice hike through the forest. The river that followed the trail runs norht in the morning and south in the afternoon. It's all dueto the change of tides. Powell was able to pass off some scout stuff during this hike. You know Suzi, take advantage of every situation!!!!
Just like on any cruise, the wait staff was great. The kids enjoyed goofing off with Messe from Turkey.
All in all we had a great time!!

Naylor Family, The Alaska Cruise is one that is very high on my list of things to do. We're delighted that you were able to take the whole family. Your pictures are great and they help to motivate me to make the trip.
I love the photos of your cruise to Alaska. We hope to go there some day. The helicopter ride looks fun. I've never been on one. You guys are way ahead of me. I am blown away by the Fjord and the glacier. What amazing beauty. But the greatest beauty was your photo of the Naylors on formal nighit. WOW!!
Thanks for a great post.
Love, Grandma B.
