Re: Alaska opinions

My sister and I are thinking about an Alaskan cruise next summer. Neither of us has cruised before. We're 55 and 60 and therefore not looking for "party" ships. I'm looking for opinions about the various cruise lines/ships and itineraries. We're flexible as far as time, duration of cruise and whether it's one way or round trip.

Thanks


I have never been to Alaska yet but have a cruise booked for June 2007 on the Sapphire Princess.
From all the reading I have done I don't think you'll find a party type atmosphere on any cruiseline in Alaska.
HAL and Princess do Alaska the best from all I've read.
You can read lots more and ask questions om cruisecritic.com.
Here is a link to the Alaska ports of call board there if you are interested.
