I haven't been on one, but just a note that my wife is a travel agent and usually can find better deals than what's listed on cruise line websites. I can connect y'all if you want, just shoot me your email address and I can have her reach out and give y'all some quotesMy wife and I decided on an Alaskan cruise for our 20th anniversary. It’s actually next week but we are looking to plan the cruise for next summer.
So from anyone that’s been what’s The Good The Bad and The Ugly ?
Chased hoes? If the hoes are running they are not really hoes ..Flew up 4 times, Hunted, fished, chased hoe's, got drunk and always have taken the planes.
Wife and a few others want to take the cruise but if I can't shoot off the handrail then there's no sense in me going?

We've gone on ~10 cruises together and I never, never, never get a room that's not a balcony.The time of year is really important. One season is too cold, one season is nothing but biting flies, one season (when we went in August 18-25), rain, rain, and some more rain. All excursions were canceled due to weather. I'm sure there is a season that the weather is best, and that will be the season that costs more $$$. Follow up on AustinBR suggestion and speak with his Wife concerning when the best time is to go. We took it for our Anniversary which is in August so we were stuck with that time of year. We wouldn't do that time again.
One suggestion is to get a balcony room. It is more $$, but the main reason for an Alaska Cruise is the sights, and sitting on your balcony with a cup of coffee and a pair of binoculars is really something to experience. Tons of wildlife, eagles, whales, grizzly bears etc.

This would be the way to go. You couldn't pay me to get on a cruise ship these days. Of course, the same could also be said about flying. I've flown many times, none of them recently though, and I'm not sure I'd be willing to anymore.My wife and myself went twice but no cruise. We flew to Anchorage, rented a car and house. Booked fishing trips. We did things on our schedule.
There are certainly pros and cons to both paths.This would be the way to go. You couldn't pay me to get on a cruise ship these days. Of course, the same could also be said about flying. I've flown many times, none of them recently though, and I'm not sure I'd be willing to anymore.
Regardless of the safety issues of either, if I go on a trip, I want it to be MY trip. I don't want to be stuck on a tourist journey with a bunch of people. I want to go off the beaten path and do my own thing.
