We just returned from a 10 day round trip San Francisco Alaska cruise. It was a wonderful 10 days aboard the Sea Princess celebrating life with 55 friends, relatives and clients.<\/p>\n

We were so blessed with great weather and the day at Glacier Bay was fantastic.<\/p>\n

Life on board our floating hotel was such a great way to travel! No packing and unpacking, great food and entertainment and lots sitting and relaxing. I loved the hot tubs and fitness center.<\/p>\n
