Alaska Cruise
Davey Watts:
Has anybody on this newsgroup been on an Alaska cruise like those run through the inside passage etc. Yeah, in 1994 my wife and I did one that went from Vancouver to Yakutat Bay and back in 10-11 days, calling at different ports on the way up and back. If so could you share any experience you have about the cruise and if you thought it was value for money. We usually travel independently, and this was our first cruise (we've done one more since then). Generally we were pleased with it. Being in a group of 700 people traveling together rather than a group of 2 was somewhat constraining, but we went to places we could never have seen independently. We were okay with the price of the ship, but found it annoying that everything that wasn't included in the fare was expensive. I don't know what ships or lines are now operating in the area, but you should be aware that there are real differences from one to another in terms of the shipboard environment and atmosphere, and the passengers you will be mixing with. Although the subject is on-topic here, rec.travel.cruises is probably a better place to find people who might advise you on that subject. For your info i have never been on a cruise before, but i am lead to believe in the adverts i see that the scenary you see is spectacular. It's a very scenic area generally, and I think the best of the scenery does indeed warrant the word "spectacular". After the trip I wrote up an obsessively detailed 100Kbyte trip report for email to some friends, which I still have online. I'm not going to post it publicly, but if Davey wants to read it, he can email me and I'll send a copy. -- Mark Brader "I always hoped that when someone quoted me Toronto it would be because I said something profound." -- Chris Volpe My text in this article is in the public domain. |
