Review summary

If you love cruising, you need to try at least once an Alaska Cruise. The highlight would be seeing those glaciers. As sad as it may look, some glaciers are breaking off. You may have to skip the onboard pool once your in the northern side of Alaska, but I guess being on this cruise is not for the pool. Make sure to bring your long range camera lenses because you'll need those to capture not only the glaciers, but also the Bald eagles, bears, whales and other wild life.

Totally agree with you. We did a round trip from Seattle. It was spectacular. The views from top of St.Roberts tram ride were spectacular.
