Norwegian Sky 2001

Matthew and Olna started this whole "cruise obsession" when two of her friends, Charlotte & Sharon, called and suggested a cruise to Alaska.

We weren't sure what we were getting into, but quickly found out that we loved the cruise lifestyle. Visiting Seattle, Juneau, Skagway, Ketchikan, Sawyer Glacier and Victoria, B.C., we really fell in love with Alaska and the Great Northwest.

The obsession begins...here are few photos of what we enjoyed on our NCL Sky cruise in 2001.

The first day, as we were pushing off...Mom gripped the chair she was sitting at, and refused to go look over the edge of the railing. By day 3 at Sawyer Glacier, she was ready to hop onto the passing iceberg!
