On Sunday, 28 May , XYL and I depart Seattle to cruise the Inside Passage aboard the Emerald Princess.
Ports include Ketchikan (CO45) on 30 May, Juneau (CO28) on 31 May and Skagway (CO27) on 1 June. There's also a brief stop in Victoria, B.C., on 3 June.
With a TH-D72A and Arrow, I plan to operate available SO-50/AO-85 (and LilacSat-2, if it's on) passes from the AK ports of call as AA5PK/KL7.
Since Princess Cruise Line has recently changed its onboard operating policy, AA5PK/VP9/MM operations are now unlikely.
I'll try to advise via Twitter @AA5PK, depending on Internet access.
All contacts will be uploaded to LoTW after 6 June with call sign(s) as noted above. Hardcopy QSLs upon email request.

Have fun Glenn!
My niece worked for Norwegian Cruise Lines for a few years and did their Alaskan cruise 22 times! Unfortunately, I've never been able to get her interested in amateur radio. :-(
