A very nice ship, the perfect way to travel to Alaska. What did you think of Juneau, isn't it an interesting town?
Congratulations on your 2nd Blogoversary!

What a great Z-word. Although I might be biased, since it sounds like a Dutch name.
I would love to one day take a cruise, but am a bit afraid I will be spending most of my time on my bed being sick.
Off topic, I should never look at your blog before breakfast; it makes me HUNGRY!
I've never gone on a cruise - some day...

wow..how cool...
Cruise ships are wonderful but I could hardly quit looking at the fresh bread and strawberry jam! Yummy. Anyway, the ship is beautiful and I'm thinking your cruise must have been full of spectacular sights!
My first cruise was with Holland America and they're still one of my favorites. I love, love, love cruising! No packing and unpacking! Lucky you.
I'm with Roger -- never look at your masthead before breakfast!
Your trip sounds delightful, but I cannot believe the size of the ship -- a floating skyscraper almost.
Nice Z post - in fact you've got the complete A to Z or perhaps that should be Z to A ;-)
Wow! I often wonder what hubby would be like on a cruise - he mentions it from time to time but I think he would love the engine room - then he would be bored! He isn't one for socialising unlike me! lol!
Thanks so much - hope to see you in Round 7!

One very impressive ship! I bet it looks equally impressive inside.

What a trip that must have been!
gREAT POST FOR THE WEEK!
lovely image.
wow.... this is impressive...
Wow. Not so much a floating hotel, but a floating city!!! Still, at least you stayed snug and warm in there, huh?
Love the banner pic!
I'm going on a ship like that from Beijing to Anchorage next March after backpacking across Europe & Asia Anne. How did you like the cruise?
