re: Alaskan Cruise options

RogerTheShrubber has posted about options to travel around Alaska that would definitely not be in the mass market cruise category. You might search and find that; it was posted within the past year.

We did a 10 day land and sea cruise last year. It was our first cruise and first time in Alaska.
We were on Princess which I guess would be considered a mass market cruise but not sure about low end.

I posted a report about it and was going to link to it but could not find it on the board.

We left Whittier and ended in Vancouver. We spent 3 extra days in Vancouver cause I like it. You can go the other way; Vancouver to Whittier.

We had a great time but as someone else said the time in the 3 ports is too short. We stopped in Skagway, Juneau and Ketchikan. We also went into Glacier Bay which was much more than I expected. The first 3 days or so were ocean cruising but we did go into Yukatat Bay to see glaciers. And we had a great naturalist on board that explained a lot.
