Cool Cruiser

Cool Cruiser (2/15)

  1. I've been to Alaska twice and the third trip is scheduled for July '23, so I am nowhere near an expert. I would never do a trip out of Seattle because you miss too much of the inside passage. I will never do a trip without Skagway because my husband loves the train trip. I will only book a ship that has an aft balcony, the best views IMO. We are doing our first one way next year, Southbound, which provides more port time and a port we've never been, Icy Strait Point. We were scheduled on another line but they cancelled Skagway so we switched to Celebrity, which we have cruised Alaska with before. Just know, this won't be your only trip to Alaska, it's so beautiful, you will want to go back.
  2. We have the following available ports: Juneau, Ketchikan, Icy Strait Point. Who do you recommend?
  3. Looking at booking this cruise. Wondering why it's so inexpensive ($5500) for a Grand Suite. Is the weather bad that time of the year? Is this a bad cruise/ship? I have ZERO experience with Greece. Any thoughts are greatly appreciated. We are looking to avoid the really hot weather.
  4. We are true aft cruisers (faces the wake of the ship). DH won't even get on a ship unless they have aft cabins. Have cruised Alaska twice with an aft and am going again July 2023

    A few questions

    What would we do with our luggage if we go to Seward, arrive by 11and then to the Kenai Fjords cruise? Any suggested vendors for this?

    A few questions

    This will be our third trip to Alaska and our first one-way (Southbound) July 2023. We are booked on the Millennium. We are looking at the train from Anchorage to Seward, pros/cons? In Juneau we have done Mendenhall and Whale Watching both times. Not interested in a sea plane or helicopter. Other suggestions? In Skagway, really want to do the train again. Previously did a tour with a bus, Emerald lake, dog sledding and the train back. Is the roundtrip train a good trip? The train was the highlight. Anything else we should do here? ISP, husbands want to halibut fish, my sister and I don't. Recommendations on fishing charters? Other things to do? Considering whale watching here instead of Juneau. Ketchikan, going to do the Bering Sea Crab tour. We've done bear watching with Michelle at Island Wings so looking for something else to do here as well.
  8. Any idea why they changed us to Ice Strait? The train is my husband's favorite thing to do in Skagway. I know there have been some issues with that recently. Super disappointed right now.
