Anyone been on an Alaskan cruise? |
Travel Info I would like to take my husband on an Alaskan cruise for our wedding anniversary in September. I am thinking way ahead so I can plan this right :-) If any of you have advise on planning one, I'd love to hear it! Travel Tips Yes, and we absolutely loved it. Princess cruse lines has a very good Alaska package. If you have been on multiple cruises before you will find that different cruise lines cater to different types of crowds. For example Carnival caters more to the 20 something wanting to have fun in the sun in the Caribbean so their entertainment and attitude is geared towards that. On the other hand, Alaska is much more about the breathtaking scenery than about playing volleyball so you will be more interested in more quality on-board shows and dining. Princess caters more to that type of crowd. You definitely want to take the North to South trip. True, you get to see all the same ports of call going South to North. However, the travel time to the port at the North end is much longer. You want to get this out of the way up front rather than after your trip when you have been traveled out. As far as the side trips go, spend the extra bucks to take a helicopter ride to walk around on a glacier. It is one of the most memorable moments from our trip, if for no other reason than a chance to ride in a helicopter. Also, I don't remember why, but we decided not to do the whale watching side trip. Now I kind of wish I had. September is likely to be pretty darned cold up there. You might want to think about taking the trip in the summer instead. Others lass="paging-info">(1 - 30 of 149 |
