After all the checking by Kerry, it may mean the Island Princess...it seems the Alaskan itinerary ships are pretty much filled up! Island Princess is my favorite Princess ship. It is better than Sea Princess and better that the Grand Class ships. -- Charles |

It is better than Sea Princess and better that the Grand Class ships. We probably would have had a great time on Island Princess, but I really like how they let us walk out to the bow while in Glacier Bay on Volendam. To me, that was one of the major highlights (especially since the ports basically sucked). The other major highlight was the excursion we took to Tracy Arm. I'm glad we did Volendam along with the extra days in Vancouver instead of the one way sailing. --Tom |

I have had poor Kerry racking her brain most of the afternoon on figuring out one that at least includes Glacier Bay. With the economy such as it is, I am surprised the cruise ships are booked with only gtds left on some. --Jean |

"Cruise Crazy" wrote in message ... Like Charles, we too, like the Island Princess. We will be on the Coral ( her sister ship) this month to Panama. They ae long and narrow ships. Purpose built for Panama Canal cruising. Smaller than the Emerald that you will be on to Copenhagen. Our favorite to Alaska was the Pacific Princess. One of the Ren ships. Doris, I wish that we could have taken the Island Princess. Our favorite to Alaska is HAL because they have smaller ships. But we just waited too long before deciding to go this time. Having taken the Golden before I'm sure we will be happy with it. I love the Ren ships, too! We have booked five cruises so far...that will make for five this year alone with our already having taken the Eclipse last February and one booked on the Oceania Riviera for next November...it is unbelievable how quickly these ships fill up! I hope you have talked Jim into taking the Allure Viking cruise with us this December. --Jean |

I don't know exactly what/when you're looking at, but last year there was plenty of availability on HAL Alaska cruises. However, while the cruises themselves appeared to be full, there were spots available on the cruisetours that were on the same sailing. So obviously they were trying to sell the more expensive cruisetours and blocking the cabin availability for the cruise only. You might want to see if the same thing is true this year before deciding on Princess. Bill |
