Taking a cruise to Alaska and expecting to actually see Alaska is
like going to Epcot and seeing Germany.
It is an OK way to watch whales and Princess will load you up on a
bus to go see Denali but you pretty much see what you can from the
window of the bus.

We signed up for all of the side trips including a flight around the
Denali summit in a small turboprop, a helicopter trip to the top of
the Mendenhall Glacier, a jet boat excursion through the eagle
preserve on the Chilkat River and a float plane ride back into Misty
Fjords. I'd like to drive up there in my 4WD truck sometime and
tour the back country but it would take all summer and I'd never get
my wife to go along.
