I know photos are suppose to be worth 1,000 words but you'll need a lot more to describe the beauty Alaska has to offer.

Thanks. I think you have to work at it to take a bad shot up there. 😏 We lucked out on the weather. Would do it again in a heartbeat.

Well, at least you had good weather. I would love to be on that sand bar watching the water fall. very dramatic. The water appears to be a tad chilly for swimming however.
Appears as though you used a polarizing filter on a couple of the scenes. ~FiddleMaker

If we had a little more time we would have walked to the sandbar. It's about a 45 minute roundtrip hike. The whole experience of being by the glacier was dramatic. Actually, I used no filters. I did a little adjusting in Lightroom. Yes we were very lucky with the weather. Thanks!

It's one of the bigger ones in the Celebrity line. Full capacity around 2800. Certainly not as large as Royal Caribbean Oasis capacity of 6000+. We do love the Celebrity line.

Beautiful shots, you won the lottery, nice weather. We took 6 cruises up there originating from Vancouver, Seattle and SF but never had nice weather like you had.

Thanks. We were told it rains 300 days a year there. I knew early august was the best chance for good weather. We lucked out in that both days at sea was thick fog but it always cleared on land.

Looks like you lucked out and had some good weather. Great captures. A favorite destination of mine-Alaska.
