Final Alaskan Views by Gal Reinventing.
Our first full day at sea started with a late breakfast. Or at least late for this trip. We toured the ship’s kitchens, which included a special brunch, in the early afternoon. We wanted to ensure we were hungry for that 😀. We had a pretty chill day and spent…
Views from Icy Strait Point by Gal Reinventing.
The final stop on our Alaskan cruise was Icy Strait Point, outside Hoonah, Alaska. This was the port I was least looking forward to. On our last cruise, we did a bear and whale tour. The bears were nowhere to be found, but we did come across some bear scat. I paid quite a bit of money to see bear poop! The only wildlife we saw from our viewing deck was a deer.
All Aboard the White Pass Train by Gal Reinventing.
Our day in Skagway started bright and early. Luckily, the ship offered a free continental breakfast via room service. We had to be off the ship for our tour by 7:30 am. The food was okay, but it did the job, and we were off to the White Pass &…
Metal Art with a View by Gal Reinventing
Since our up-close glacier tour was canceled, we decided to explore downtown Juneau on our own. We visited Mendenhall Glacier a few years ago on a cruise, so we avoided the crowds and explored downtown instead. We had very little time in town on our previous visit.

Our first morning on board the Oasis of the Sea was not spectacular. After a pleasant dinner shortly after we boarded, everything took a turn for the worse.

Continuing Chaos in Alaska The second full day of our land tour in Alaska was chaotic. Options at our lodgings were limited, so we settled on the buffet. Buffets aren't my favorite, but our group decided it would give us the best chance to eat, get back to our rooms,…
Unparalleled Denali by Gal Reinventing.
Our first full day in Alaska started with full blown comedy! We got very little sleep our first night. Partially because the sun doesn’t set fully that far north and also just the stress of having to have our luggage out for collection so early.
Views from the Sky by Gal Reinventing.
We all have a bucket list. Mine mostly revolves around travel and food. (See more on my travel adventures here.) One item on my list was seeing the interior of Alaska, and the other was taking a first class flight. I am happy to report that this summer I got…
Lost in the Wake by Gal Reinventing.
Our final day on the Disney Wonder was a sea day, which meant taking the slow, lazy route from Ensenada back to San Diego since a cruise ship can easily cover the distance in 3 to 4 hours. My bestie and I had planned a day lounging on the pool deck, soaking up a little sun and fresh air. Unfortunately, the cloudy skies and chilly winds foiled our plans.
Sailing on The Disney Wonder by Gal Reinventing.
Our second full day on the Disney Wonder began with the breakfast buffet. I usually avoid the buffet because I have seen too many things that raise my blood pressure.
