[QUOTE="dennishoddy, post: 3835135, member: 5412"] We’ve done 5, the first was to the Bahamas as last minute passengers. We had to sail through a tropical storm. Remember looking out the porthole seeing green water, then the wave would pass and there would be sky once again. Being midship at the bar it didn’t seem that bad but those waves had to be 20’ to reach that porthole. One to the carribean that was hot as heck and the rest to Alaska which were all incredible. For anyone thinking about an Alaskan cruise, don’t do the round trip from Seattle. Very little time in ports of call. Fly to Anchorage making sure your on the right side of the aircraft coming into Anchorage. (You get to see 5 glaciers) Explore Anchorage and take the Alaska railway train to Seward to board your ship. The train runs about 30 mph and is all huge glass windows. Takes about three hours and there is a dining car for lunch that was very tasty. Lots of animal sightings along the way. When making your reservations get a room with a balcony on the left side of the ship. On that side during the trip South, your always looking inland at the mountains and coastal waters. The right side of the ship looks out at open seas mostly until you get to the intercostal waterways. Ports of call generally last all day vs just a couple of hours like on the round trip sails. The next may be a cruise in the Mediterranean. We can fly there free so it’s just the cost of the cruise. [/QUOTE]
