stlrod Posted January 20, 2012 #1 Share Posted January 20, 2012 Thanks to all for your help. I've narrowed down my ship for my late May/early June voyage. I definitiely want the Sapphire so now the only question left is Southbound vs. Northbound (fortunately I have ff tickes for both on hold til tomorrow.) The price is about the same (though I can get an obstructed OV Northbound as opposed to an inside southbound.) Either way, we will spend very little time in ANC and couple of nights in Vancouver. Northbound includes Glacier Bay and College Fjord while Southbound includes Hubbard and Glacier Bay. Any preferences and why? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mr green Posted January 20, 2012 #2 Share Posted January 20, 2012 Go southbound and take in Hubbard Glacier. john Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JJPacer Posted January 20, 2012 #3 Share Posted January 20, 2012 We choose S/B to see Hubbard Glacier and Glacier Bay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alaskanb Posted January 20, 2012 #4 Share Posted January 20, 2012 I chose northbound --adjust to sea motion, time, and climate change before the grand finale--Glacier Bay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DougH Posted January 20, 2012 #5 Share Posted January 20, 2012 Another vote for Southbound and Hubbard over College Fjord. But really the best option is a B2B and get all of them :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But really the best option is a B2B and get all of them :) An interesting point was raised the other day. Why not go northbound on one ship, stay around for a few days, and then return on another ship. By doing that you would get a different menu, or at the least a different head chef, AND different entertainment. The only draw back would be too much packing. john Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cole Posted January 20, 2012 #7 Share Posted January 20, 2012 Check the flight schedules out of Anchorage compared to Vancouver. If my memory is correct, the ones out of Anchorage are red-eye and can be very tiring. B. Cole Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Staying overnight at an airport Embassy Suites, then morning flight to El Paso. It is cheaper than an overnight including the hotel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
