  • NCL's Great Stirrup Cay is getting a resort-style pool and other amenities

    1 week ago | travelweekly.com | Johanna Jainchill

    NCL president David Herrera said that when the island's pier opens later this year, enabling ships to dock and eliminating the need for tender boats, NCL will concurrently open an expansive pool, splash pad and tram service that will take guests around the island. The line also will bring some guest-favorite onboard experiences to Great Stirrup Cay. Like on NCL ships, the Vibe Beach Club on the island will be an adults-only space. It will have an outdoor lounge with private cabanas and loungers.

A9: Alaska is huge! We did one week and got from Anchorage to Denali to Seward and lots of stops along the way. It meant trains, planes, automobiles and boats and five different hotels and we loved it! #TravelAlaskaChat https://t.co/oXTTEv3k0X

A7: My 8 y/o and I packed a lot into a long weekend from Anchorage. with a car rental - within a few hours of Seward (whale watching), Girdwood (heli-tours) and the AK Wildlife Conservation Center. Renting bikes in Anchorage also a big hit. #AlpineAirAlaska #TravelAlaskaChat https://t.co/vM82Pf9xrd
