Review summary

Loved Alaska, will never do another cruise! Too boring, too many sales pushes. Not our idea of a vacation for two introverts. Too cold with pitiful indoor activities.

we are also intoverts, so at times took a break in our room! we felt that you could always find places to sit to read our play a game where it was less crazy with people. the benefits of food on demand, and all the entertainment, and not having to fly, will keep us cruising for awhile yet.

I agree about the pushy sales but too cold in Alaska? Hmmmm.

Or AZTX, at least the lines have people who are enjoying themselves... the poster gave Ketchikan a 1 star rating (said it was "cold, rainy"). Nothing about Ketchikan's beauty, history, uniqueness, or what it had to offer... they only saw, and judged it by, the weather... Maybe they should have researched Alaskan cruises before going?

Yes Alaska is nice to visit. Cruising is not for everyone. "Will never do another cruise" ... we like people like you, it helps to keep the lines shorter.
