Hi,
I was just wondering if anyone here has been on an alskan cruise and if you enjoyed it or not? I am planning a cruise with a friend ad we want to know if people our age will enjoy it as well. I know there is a lot of sightseeing but is the ship fun too? Planning on going on RCI.
Thanks!

I have been on an Alaskan cruise. There were a mix age and group of people during my July sailing. Once school is out, there are usually more teens than say May or September, October. An Alaskan cruise is totally different than a Caribbean cruise. In Alaska there is soo much scenary and wildlife to see. Its quite fancinating!

Were you with friends or family? would you go again?

I definately would go again. I went with my family and we only sailed the Inside Passage itinerary. Some teens here knows that I am the type of cruiser that wants to cruise to different places, therefore I would like to try a Northbound or Southbound Alaskan cruise aka Gulf of Alaska. If you like more info AIM me at daswimma100 or email at Wayneyim2002@yahoo.com

I haven't been on an Alaskan Cruise but I have been to Alaska. If your one of those energetic types i'm not sure youll like the activities off-board. It is mostly scenic things like glaciers or forests.
