Wife is trying to talk me into one. Seems like a waste of money.

Friends of mine went. Said it was great. But they also went on a regular trip there. Said that was way better.

My wife and I have been twice. Of all the cruises we've been on (11 total) it is by far the best. Really awesome.

I'm in the business.

If you dig cruising, you'll love it. If you just want to see Alaska, there are better ways. It's not a terrible experience, but you'll see limited areas of Ak. It's more about being in port and selling shore excursions.

Yes. I'll be the first to say cruises are awful, but Alaska is a different story. Fantastic trip that I plan on doing again, someday. Excursions are excellent.

Yes and Glacier Bay is a religious experience. Holland America was wonderful.

Did a celebrity cruise about 10 years ago. Was great. Not the typical carnival crowd out of New Orleans.

I went in August of 1993. Departed from San Fran, Stopped at Seattle, Victoria, Vancouver, Ketchikan, Sitka, and Juneau. I enjoyed the hell out of it, but I guess it just depends what you are into.

As has been said its the absolute worst way to se Alaska. But it's better than not seeing at all.

I went two years ago in June.
We did excursions for salmon fiahing, kayaking and biking to a glacier and a brewery. It made me want to go back to rent a cabin for fishing/hiking someday.
I liked the trip, and thought it was worth it.
