I have just started researching itineraries for an Alaska cruise but I want to understand when I see Glacier Bay or Hubbard Glacier listed as "cruising" day; are all glacier visits on all cruise ships done as cruising by, or are there actually certain cruises that make stops at these destinations?   Thank you.

What month did you sail to get the great iceberg photo in Alaska? Awesome picture.

We chose main seating on our only cruise. I cruise with a child, age 8, and I enjoy having her at dinner with me and we have great conversations and after, I often drop her at Camp Carnival for some evening activities. We ate at a table for 2, and also chatted with a couple who were also at a table for 2 next to us.

A lot of previous posters are saying they choose late seating due to less children. Perhaps because I was enjoying my own child (well-behaved) I did not hear or notice other children causing a problem. What have other cruisers noticed about early dinner problems due to children? We will choose early again.

We have always collected a small "dollar store" bottle of sand from every beach that we visit and have them in a display case. We are continuing this as one of our traditions on our cruises, and it is so interesting to see them all lined up; all the different colours and textures.
