Good for you, getting so close! And Alaska too...woo boo!

Getting so close and I haven't even started getting things packed!
Yeah, we decided to go ahead and book Alaska with DCL. If RCI offers kids sail free next year like they did this year, we may drop DCL but for now we are booking it. I'm not going to get too excited about it because we have GOT to find pretty decent airfare from ATL to Vancouver. I'm trying not to even think about it because I want to just have fun on this trip and not already be planning my next like I usually am.
I swear I don't know how it got this close! I have GOT to start getting things done. Well, I did buy 2 new dresses and a new pair of shoes, so I guess that should count for something, right?
Hey..that's a start on packing!
I've heard of people getting good airfare to Seattle and then taking the train to Vancouver. I may look into that when I eventually make it to Alaska.

Jill, I had not even considered that. Definitely something to look into. I checked prices for this June, and they are around $500 per person but I don't know what a "good" price should be.
I fly from Knoxville to ATL to Seattle when I go to visit my parents and siblings. $500 for coach isn't a great price but it's not a high price either. Seems about normal. Sometimes it's cheaper for me to fly from TYS (Knoxville) to ATL to SEA than it is to fly from ATL to SEA on the same flight, which is crazy. They're basically paying me for not driving to ATL to fly. The same thing happens when I fly TYS/CLT/EYW. It's oftentimes $100+ cheaper to fly with the layover than it would be if we drove to Charlotte (CLT) and flew to EYW.
You must be so excited to be going so soon!
Rumor is that if you use your FPP up then you can get more, even in another park. Not sure if this has all become reality yet, but at this point, if it happens it will just be a happy bonus, right?!
I understand feeling like you need to know what you are booking for the future before you get on board, I am the same way. But your DH is probably right, just go and enjoy yourself. You can always change it later.
Have a great time and keep us "posted" on your trip!
I'm new to this and not sure how to post. I want to inquire about joining a fish extenders group for July 19 sailing of Fantasy from FL. Help.
