Tomorrow we embark on a different kind of cruise for us. After 26 cruises, we are going to take one that is less about us than it is about family. On Friday of this week we are taking my daughter, her husband (who we love very much) but most importantly we are taking our grandson and granddaughter on their very first cruise. We are boarding Royal Caribbean’s Ovation of the Seas for a seven-night cruise to Alaska and we can’t wait!
Neither Kathleen nor I cruised until we were almost 50 so the very idea of starting our grandkid’s cruising life at five and eight years old is way cool! I am posting this news because I want you to know that I will be doing a complete set of posts on our cruise but I am not sure when I will be able to upload it. We won’t have (because that isn’t a perk that Royal gives its repeat cruisers…what exactly does Royal give its repeat cruisers that is worth a damn?) internet on board. We will have T-Mobile when we are ports so I should be able to post on those days. We are in Juneau on Sunday so hopefully I will get online there.
On the other hand, we may be having so much fun, you just might have to wait until we get back for a full report. Either way, more content is coming—hope you are ready. By the way, we are also going with two of our best friends, their kids and their grandkids as well so it is bound to be amazing.
AWESOME! I went looking for a closing quote about grandkids and found one by one of my personal heroes, Rita Moreno!
My grandkids are everything to me. For me, family is all! —Rita Moreno
Have a great time J&K. I think you will.
I know we will!
The kids, the grandkids plus Bob and Judy and their kids…how can we go wrong.
It sounds like party time to me.
I know you will all have a great time. Lots of memories to make xx
Did you find out what the GVW is on those bumper cars….will I fit ? lol

Really I’m hoping there will be an excuse. 😎. Thks.
The public library in Juneau had complementary internet ( you will find many crew members there) and it was a nice place to visit during a significant rain fall in 2013. Have an fun time with your family
Thanks for the tip Susan. With my T-Mobile account I can just grab 4G when in port and create my own little wireless network that is pretty quick. But that’s good to know. I would hate to drag my Mac off the ship to upload a post though. Especially when the forecast is for rain, rain and more rain. 😀
Have a flat out awesome/fun time 😃😃 🛳
Have a wonderful cruise with Jenna, Joel, Mason and Maylee. I will enjoy travel to Alaska through your pictures.ENJOY!
Thanks Carol. If I am not mistaken, you will get to see them over Labor Day at a Chapman gathering for a wedding? Is that right?
