Hi - I just enrolled in this forum. My wife and I are taking the Grand Alaska tour Aug 6-20, 2011 as our 40th Wedding Anniversary trip, and we are very excited. We are particularly looking forward to our port-side "Vista Suite" in stern of the Diamond Princess during our cruise segment.
I have a number of questions I would like to have clarified:
1. The website says we should only bring one "average sized" suitcase per person. Any idea what "average sized" is? This is going to be a challenge for my beloved spouse, who tends to pack more than that for a weekend visit.... Any advice would be appreciated.
2. To assist in clothing choices, what can we expect weather-wise, rain-wise and insect-wise (read that as "mosquitos") on land in early-mid August (land portion of our trip is Aug 6-12, I think)?
3. We arranged through Tauck for a pre-tour night (8/5) at the Captain Cook in Anchorage - I assume we will not have to change rooms for the night the tour actually commences (8/6) - can you confirm?
I'll probably have more questions, and plan to tune into this forum regularly for advice. Thanks for being there!
