We have done the cruise tour twice and would do it again. If you are going to go to Alaska do the land and sea. The lodges aren’t 5 star, but you are in Alaska. The scenery is outstanding.
We go with the standard package. We are elite. We don’t drink, We trade in our mini bar for beers, water, and soda. It is cheaper for us to pay $500 or $600 for a 7 day cruise than go with the package. It covers tips, WiFi, water, and soda package.
