We just got back this week from spending 9 nights aboard the Disney Wonder on an Alaskan Cruise. Our first cruise and we had a blast!
Next week I will start a series about our trip including:
- Port of Calls: Sitka, Skagway, Juneau, Ketchikan and cruising through Tracy Arm Fjord
- Cruising with Disney on the Wonder: everything from the shows, activities, characters and food
- Vancouver: what to do before or after your cruise
- Tips for First Time Cruisers
Until then here are a couple teaser photos!
White Pass Train, Skagway, Alaska
Humpback Whale and Orca in Juneau, Alaska
Is there a particular question or topic that you would like me to cover about our cruise?

It looks like you had a truly wonderful cruise! Love the beautiful photos. My fav is the train pic. We have never been on a cruise but I think I would prefer an Alaskan cruise!

There was always beautiful scenery to look at.

Your little girl looks like she is having so much fun with Mickey and Minnie! I’ve cruised, but never to Alaska. My sister has and she loved it. I don’t know if I could get past the cold! Was it really, really cold?

Surprisingly we had great weather. It only rained our first day at sea. As for it being cold, we did not take winter coats only hoodies and fleece jackets and were very comfortable. My daughter even swam twice (the pools were heated to 84 degrees).

I just went on an Alaskan cruise in May! Went to the same ports you did, and did a lot of the same things. (I loved the White Pass Railway!) You’re much better than I am about getting photos edited and ready for blogging, though. I assume that’ll take months for me with all the photos I took in Alaska! 🙂 I can’t wait to see your perspective.

Thanks Bailey, I hope you had as much fun as I did! I can’t wait to see your posts!

Oh my these pictures are truly amazing.
My sister and mom when on an Alaskan cruise a few years ago and loved it.
I hear the Disney Cruises are the best thing out there. It looks fantastic.
I’m sure your little princess will talk about this for years to come.

Disney sure knows how to do it….great food, wonderful service, a wide array of activities to do on the ship, and the CHARACTERS 🙂

At times the fab 5 were dressed up in their “Alaskan” outfits…so cute!

Looks like a great trip! My parents leave on their Alaskan cruise tomorrow morning. Unfortunately they said no kids/grandkids allowed since it’s their anniversary trip! Hopefully one day I’ll get to go! And I’ll be keeping the Disney cruise in mind! Thanks!

Erin, I hope they have as wonderful of a time as we did!
Karen says

Karen says

One of best vacations ever!
Stefanie says
That is literally one of my dream trips. I’d love to take a Disney cruise one day. We have cruised a lot but have yet to experience the magic of Disney. I’d love for you to post about your dining experiences!
mybigfathappylife says
Dining was awesome on the Alaskan Cruise! I discussed rotational dining some in this post https://www.mybigfathappylife.com/disney-wonder-as-a-cruise-ship/ Let me know if you have any questions.
