Amazing Fruit Animals on the Golden Princess

One of my favorite part of Princess Cruises is the Fruit Animal display. They normally have a specific time you can visit the atrium and watch the fruit carvers at work.

I will fully admit to lining up to take pictures of these crazy cool fruit animals. It can get a bit crazy in the atrium so make sure you are prepared for a lot of people in a small space. [Read more...]

Our day in Juneau on our Alaska Cruise

We had such a fun day in Juneau on our Alaska Cruise. We decided to rent a car and explore as much as we could during the day. The ship was in port for most of the day so it worked out great.

The cruise ship docks right near the town of Juneau. You can easily walk into town and visit the shops and restaurants.  The rental car company picked us up right across the street from the ship and we were off for the day.

There are noise regulations in Alaska ports so make sure you are inside and able to hear the announcement that you can disembark. [Read more...]

Red Onion Saloon, Skagway Alaska
