PORT SIDE OR STARBOARD SIDE- ALASKA CRUISING - Cruise Critic
Dec 10, 2020 — On our 1st cruise to Alaska, when we were returning through the inside Passage, a large pod of Dahl's Porpoises followed our ship through the passage, leaping in the wake the ship created. This was the only time I've seen such a large pod rear of the ship. They may very well have been feeding.
Aft balcony for Alaska? - Alaska - Cruise Critic Community
Mar 20, 2015 — Wondering if anyone has thoughts on an aft (wake facing) balcony for an Alaskan cruise. Star Princess C752 specifically, but want to hear pros and cons of aft balcony versus side balcony...views limited off the back? Clearly outside decks will have the best view, but from a balcony perspective an...
Swimming Pools on Alaska Cruises? - Cruise Critic Community
Nov 9, 2018 — We sailed to Alaska on Radiance of the Seas - that ship has 2 pools, one inside and one out. The indoor pool is usually adults only space but for "cold weather" cruises like Alaska, its open to families 10am-12pm and 2pm-4pm each day - this was enough for my children, we planned round swimming times (usually on shore mornings, back on board for …
Alaska cruises with no stops in Canada - Cruise Critic
Mar 5, 2024 — If you are sailing R/T from a US port, you can stop in any foreign port. However, if you are sailing to Alaska from a US Port, unless it is a R/T cruise, you must visit a distant foreign port. BTW - worked this coast for almost 35 years and Victoria Island is a new port for me. The City of Victoria is a port often visited by cruise ships.
Alaska: Royal Caribbean vs. Princess vs. Norwegian - Alaska
Mar 12, 2009 — I'm planning a family cruise (5 cabins) to Alaska (7-day cruise) and have gotten multiple quotes from our agent for Royal Caribbean, Princess, and Norwegian. However, I need some help in figuring out what's best for our family. Half of us will be in our 20s-30s and the other half in the 50s. We're active, enjoy good food and entertainment.
Do you really need to get a balcony on an Alaskan cruise?
Feb 20, 2023 — Like most have said, I couldn't conceive of the idea of not having a balcony on an Alaska cruise. There is so much to see, and while you can go on some decks and look out, sitting on your balcony with a beverage of your choice watching another whale swim by, or another eagle fly by, or more waterfalls, or more seals floating by on hunks of ice.
Best side ship for Northbound Alaska - Cruise Critic Community
Oct 3, 2009 — PS My tongue is firmly in cheek on that -- I don't think that visiting Glacier Bay is the "be all-end all" of Alaska cruises, but I also don't think that RCCL, which cannot visit Glacier Bay and only has a couple of decades in Alaska (compared to Princess and HAL) has a "leg up" on other cruise ships. :rolleyes:
Which Alaska cruise best if prone to motion sickness?
Aug 1, 2022 — In general Alaska is a very smooth ride because you're hugging the coast the entire cruise. Especially if you do a cruise that's round trip Alaska, not starting from Seattle. But even from/to Seattle is generally a very smooth ride unless a storm blows through. That did happen this year with a storm chopping up the waters for about a week or so.
Alaska....Anchorage or Fairbanks? - Cruise Critic
Feb 20, 2020 — Anchorage is the larger city by far and closest to the ship embarkation point. Fairbanks is a smaller city and greater distance to the port.
