MrsMoose, not to worry, and DON"T! You are going to have a great time on your cruise! My cell phone worked in the ports, just not at sea. We all hope you will come back here and post about your trip. You have spared no expense in getting the best excursions available privately and on the ship, and we would like to know how it turns out. Many of us are going back to Alaska in August 2006 on the same week you are one this year. Please post on your return!

And in the meantime, ask questions before you leave.
