This is a fantastic post. I appreciate you taking the time to compile such a complete list. My wife and I are serious about going on a cruise this year, but we aren't positive exactly where we are going to go just yet. We have looked into everything from Europe to the Caribbean, and even Alaska. I have seen pictures of Alaska, and I have always had a desire to take a cruise in that direction. I think it would be absolutely amazing, and I love the idea of a Disney cruise around the state. Thanks for taking the time to bring all of this different information together for us. You really saved me a ton of time and energy in finding different options available for an Alaskan cruise.

A Disney cruise is more expensive than other cruise lines because everything Disney touches practically turns to gold. They are amazingly talented at marketing their product and brand, and they have become one of the most valuable images on the planet. They are able to charge more for everything the produce or do because they have taken the time and energy to develop an image that people have come to trust and respect and that reputation is what makes them worth more. They have spent billions over the years building their brand, and in a free market like ours, it is only fair that they can charge more for their services and products.

We are looking to take a cruise this year with our 5 year old daughter. We have been asking this same question. I have found a number of different pieces of information around the internet. The general opinion is that Disney is much more expensive than other cruise lines and similar cruises around Alaska. Princess has a good reputation for being very child friendly, but Disney screams children, so the experience on Disney, would probably be very kid oriented and enjoyable. Disney also has a great talent in being appealing to adults, as well. I would say that Princess is the best option if you are looking for a cheaper cruise, but Disney will be well worth the money overall.

I have always wanted to travel to Africa on safari. One day I will have more money than brains and be able to afford these sort of things. I did a quick search online and found a post made on CNN states a variety of things to consider when traveling to Africa in relation to tipping. First of all, the majority of people in Africa, especially within the tourism industry, earn most of their money from tips. It is typically acceptable to tip between 10% and 15% at restaurants, but other professions, such as guides, should receive tips based on the length of time in your service. On average, they recommend that you tip between $15 and $20 per day for your guide.
