Number of Alaska cruises taken?

How many Alaska cruises have you taken?

We are considering taking our second Alaskan cruise within a two-year period. Is this too soon?!? Is there anything you regretted doing or NOT doing during your Alaska trip?

We've done two. The first was cruise only and I regretted not seeing more of the state. Next time we did a cruise/tour.

I wouldn't hesitate to do a cruise tour again. I'd just pick different lodges to go to.

We’ve done two and the last was a land and Sea, our only regret was not spending more time in Denali!

We have done at least one Alaska cruise every year for around ten years. 18 trips, some b2b. Regrets... Never have done the Misty Fjords plane trip, The Totem park is lame at best, Cruise tour is scheduled in 2018.

4, most recently in May 2017. #2 & #3 with land tour.

I'd love to do a self-drive land tour & then cruise back; next time!

2 - once with princess and once with carnival. I’d do it again for sure

We are in Vancouver so it’s easy.

Two. Trying to talk DW into another in 2018.

Cheers.

Went on week long in cruises in 2007 & 2008 on HAL. In September cruises on a 14 day out of Long Beach and repeating it next year.

We've done three Alaskan cruises. Two were round-trip from Seattle. The other was preceded by five nights starting in Fairbanks on a cruise tour. We had a fourth cruise booked last year that unfortunately I had to cancel.

We've done 6 cruises to Alaska. Our next one will include a week on land ( cruise up, spend a week sightseeing then cruise back to Vancouver).

14😊 No regrets.

Have loved the Sapphire, and I always love the beautiful views when cruising into Juneau and out of Skagway.

Enjoy Alaska😊

Three so far, two next year.

Round trip San Francisco (Dawn Princess), Whittier to Vancouver (Crown Princess), and round trip Vancouver (Crown Princess).

Coming up:

Round trip Los Angeles (Emerald Princess), and round trip Seattle (also Emerald).

I think I"m out of new itineraries.

I always love the round trip from Seattle itineraries. Seattle always works out great for us. So smooth.

Five. My very first cruise was a Voyage of the Glaciers, Vancouver to Seward (Sun Princess). Then, I did a couple of back-to-backs: Vancouver - Whittier - Vancouver (Diamond & Sapphire Princesses). BTB is the way to go! If the weather is bad one week, it's likely to be good the other.

4 so far.

Two. First time in 2009 and again in 2012. I would go again in a heartbeat.

Regrets...just one. A few years ago we hiked into the Mendenhall ice caves using a local tour company. It was on our fourteenth Alaskan cruise. I remember being mad that we hadn't done this sort of stuff before. We have a b/b again this year and have two more short (getting older) hikes planned. So regrets...don't wait until 14 or even 3, Go, Go again and do something out of the box...

Eight cruises so far, but only one of those was out of Seattle, since we realized we loved the beauty of the inside passage out of/into Vancouver. Have a B2B booked for May 2018. There is always so much to enjoy on an Alaska cruise!

If I lived within driving distance of the west coast departures I'd be on many of them as I take to the Caribbean....and that's quite a few. ;)

NeverBeenThere: Check out Island Wings for your Misty Fjords plane trip.

Other must do's Take a flight tour out of Skagway across Glacier Bay NP to the Pacific, The Deadliest Catch tour in Ketchicikan is a must.

Been to AK three times one of which was cruise tour, book on a 4th in 18, can't wait.

Two thus far with another scheduled next summer. The first (in 2007) was a cruisetour and our introduction to both Alaska and Princess. We liked both so much we convinced all 3 of my siblings and their spouses to come with us on the second cruise (Vancouver to Whittier in 2012). Two of the couples did a cruisetour. Of the three couples, two just became platinum and the other (still working and not traveling much) has taken a seven day Caribbean cruise on Princess. Next summer we introduce our two kids, their spouses and our granddaughter to the beauty of Alaska and the joys of cruising Princess.

We go almost every year. It's a quick flight from Long Beach to Seattle and jump on a ship. I think for sure you should go as often as you like!

I go pretty much every year, 1st one was in 1995 and I've only missed I believe 3 years since. Total is 26 so far :) It's different every year but I sure would love some new ports.

Friends thought I was crazy when I started repeating but now they have all gone multiple times also

We've been 4 times. 3 on Princess and the Denali/Yukon cruisetour on HAL last July. We're currently looking at going on a smaller ship that visits less traveled ports like Sitka.

25. No regrets. If your budget allows book a balcony or above. Book a seaplane excursion. :)

Are you taking a cruise only? IMHO I highly recommend booking a

cruisetour.

Enjoy your cruise.
