I have heard so much about Alaskan cruises that I want to take one.
Know
people who are jaded world travelers, and to a person they rave about
the
Alaska trip.

We did that last June and it was great. I recommend flying into
Fairbanks and doing the land tours first as you work your way south to
catch the boat in Whittier. We used Princess Line for both the land
tours and the cruise. They did a great job with both.

The Disney one starts and stops in Vancouver. I'll check on the
Princess Line. Thanks

Ours stopped in Vancouver also with a bus ride back to Seattle. I
spoke with Chuck Gould a couple of times and he gave us some great
advice on where to stay in the San Juan Islands.

I've got a couple brothers in the Seattle area, so a place to stay is
no problem. We'd probably spend a few days visiting anyway.

If you stay in Seattle, take the train to Vancouver and is only a short taxi
ride to the cruise terminal.
