Just warning you...
My first trip to Alaska was a Land Vacation only...
That was AUG 2000...
May 2001 started my move to Alaska 🙂
I do advise both cruise & land visits...
We've done 2 Alaskan cruises - since moving here...
We'd do more - but we really prefer not to leave Alaska in the summer, if we don't have to...
We've also been to all the cruise locations & many others via vehicle ( Multiple Trips - Mustang, Jeep & Truck), flights & ferries, except Icy Point...
Someday we'll get to Icy Point...
