Review summary

Nice trip, but cruises arent for me. There is not enough time to explore. Really bummed that we only had one stop in Alaska. It was also the only place that I have already been to.

I'm sorry the weather was so bad while you were cruising here, but any cruise taken in Southeastern Alaska from about the third week of September through October is just as likely to encounter heavy rain, high winds, and rough seas, October especially. We always feel so bad for visitors who experience this, but it's the nature of the weather here.

Aww! You will probably enjoy land tours better.

Thank you for your review. I'm sorry you feel cruises aren't for you. Maybe one more cruise to see for certain?

Thanks for the feedback. Cruising is not for everyone. Glad you tried.

Appreciate your feedback. Cruising isn’t for everyone, at least you gave it a try. Glad you still managed to enjoy yourself.
