Have never been on a cruise, but would love to go to Alaska.
If we get a chance to go on a cruise Alaska is our first choice
Wow! There are so many great cruise ships to choose from 🙂
We’ve cruised Alaska twice, the first time was our first cruise ever and it was like a million years ago on a Carnival ship, the second one was on Holland America’s ms Volendam – now that was an amazing cruise! The service was second to none! We’ve cruised on Carnival, Princess, Royal Caribbean, Celebrity, Norwegian and then this one and Holland America wins hands down!
This would be such a beautiful voyage! I would love to take an Alaskan cruise.
It would be nice sitting out on the deck and getting some nice crisp Alaskan air!!
This trip is on my bucket list.

Alaska is amazing! I live in the Yukon and can drive to Alaska. We camped in Skagway (one of the ports) and we were amazed by the size of these ships! Haines, AK is also a great place to visit. The mountains are so amazing.
