It was Day 4 of our Alaskan cruise and we finally reached our first port of call at Skagway.
Everything I read described Skagway as a pioneer, western town from the 1890s. While that is true, nothing prepared me to feel so small as the vast AB Mountain, Face Mountain and others loomed nearby.

A look at the dining options on the 7-day cruise to Alaska on the Disney Wonder.
Because of a busy spring, I wasn’t geared up for our 7-day cruise to Alaska on the Disney Wonder. I desperately needed time alone and found myself constantly irritated by kids bumping into me or the overly-cheery staff asking me “How are you today?” The last place I wanted to be was on a cruise full of Disney characters, music and movies.
However, on our previous Disney Dream cruise, I discovered the Rainforest Room at the spa. Fortunately, the Disney Wonder had a similar, but much smaller, Rainforest Room inside Senses Spa on Deck 9 near the Quiet Cove Pool area.
I bought a joint pass for the week with my spouse because the pricing was better (just an additional $50) for two people. After taking a tour of the facilities and locker room, the attendant gave me a choice of 5 different scented body scrubs. I chose the lavender herbal salt scrub and began my journey to relaxation.

My in-laws took us to Alaska on the Disney Wonder this past June for a fabulous, 7-night cruise. We totalled 15 in number with age ranges from 9 to 79. Built in 1999, the Disney Wonder features 11 decks with almost 900 staterooms.
