Genuine "Made in Alaska" Products


How can you tell if the products you're buying were truly Made in Alaska? After all, several Chinese companies make very convincing "Alaskan" goods, and you'll find them in many stores in tourist towns in Alaska. The following Polar bear and cub logo signifies that the product that you're buying was made in Alaska:
And if you're looking for products that were made by Native Alaskans, look for the following logo:

Cruise attire......................Dining on the cruise

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
What to Wear?
Casual attire is the order of the day. We suggest shorts, sundresses, tank tops, etc. for the ladies, and for men; shorts, polo shirts, T-shirts, etc. will do.  We suggest you wear rubber-soled, low heeled or flat shoes for extra traction while onboard.  The use of any footwear with wheels, including but not limited, to Heelys© shoes, is prohibited on board our ships.  For dining you may want to dress up a bit and/or bring along a light sports jacket or cardigan. 
Most evenings we have a Cruise Casual dress code, but there are those Cruise Elegant evenings one or two nights throughout your “Fun Ship” voyage, where you will have the opportunity to showcase your more elegant attire. For those who want casual attire for dinner time, the Lido Restaurant is open nightly, and has a more relaxed theme. However, shirts and shoes/footwear (flip-flops) must be worn at all times inside the Lido Restaurant.
Both dress codes for the dining rooms are described below.
Cruise Casual Dining Dress Code:  Gentlemen - Sport slacks, khakis, jeans (no cut-offs), dress shorts (long), collared sport shirts; Ladies - Casual dresses, casual skirts or pants and blouses, summer dresses, Capri pants, dress shorts, jeans (no cut-offs). 
Not permitted in the dining room during the Cruise Casual dinner for ladies and gentlemen: shorts, gym shorts, basketball shorts, beach flip-flops, bathing suit attire, cut-off jeans, sleeveless shirts for men and baseball hats.
Cruise Elegant Dining Dress Code:  Gentlemen - Dress slacks, dress shirts. We also suggest a sport coat. If you wish to wear suits and ties or tuxedos, by all means we invite you to do so.  Ladies - Cocktail dresses, pantsuits, elegant skirts and blouses; if you‘d like to show off your evening gowns, that's great too!  
Not permitted in the dining room during the Cruise Elegant dinner for ladies and gentlemen: shorts, gym shorts, T-shirts, beach flip-flops, bathing suit attire, jeans, cut-off jeans, sleeveless shirts for men, sportswear, and baseball hats.
Special Sailings
For Canada/New England/Alaska cruises:   Sweaters, lightweight jackets and raincoats are suggested.  Casual clothes that can be layered easily are highly recommended.  Bring a heavier sweater if you are traveling to the glaciers, along with a raincoat and umbrella, because it is often cold and windy in such areas.
For South America and Europe cruises: Comfortable shoes and a just-in-case raincoat. Bring a sweater if you are traveling to the glaciers, along with a raincoat and umbrella, because it is often cold and windy in such areas. Special note: It is essential that you wear the proper apparel when visiting the Vatican and other religious sites (no bare legs or shoulders).

What to Pack for Alaska?

I have had lots of questions regarding what to pack for this cruise.  I will say it will not be like your typical cruise so you will be thinking of layering due to unpredictable weather.  On the ship of course you can wear your usual attire but I have found some locations in the ship can be cool so sweaters are a must.  I have included a helpful link of advise of what to pack for an Alaskan cruise I hope you find it helpful.  I know its early but I know some are looking for clothes for the trip ahead of time so check out the site.....

EATS:
As a reminder unless you specify we have all been assigned together in the main dining room for a 6 pm seating.  This is a sit down dinner and dress is only formal on two nights of the cruise.  Formal does not have to mean long dresses or tuxedos, it is simply nicer dress and can be from business casual to very dressy your choice.  One night we will be dining in celebration of the wedding as well on May 24/15.  No one is held to dinner in the main dining room nightly there are other options available on the  ship to include:
