Anyone know anything about Alaska cruises or cruises in general. My sis and I are thinking about going in together to get my parents one (they've been wanting to go on an alaskan cruise for a while). What are the good companies/bad companies, etc?

I've heard nothing but great things about Celebrity Cruises. The commercials are cheesy but they state facts, you can do things when you want, instead of having somewhat of a schedule.
An Alaskan cruise is on my list of things to do. -------------------- "There is a level of cowardice lower than that of the conformist: that of the fashionable non-conformist." |

my parents go with this company that has restored old riverboats (you know the big boats with the fancy paddle wheel thing). they have an alaskan cruise thats really cool.
and they dont have a lot of whiney kids or crazy young people on them - thats what my parents like. so "older" people seem to like it cant remember the company's name though -------------------- Little monkeys making money

I've never been to Alaska on a cruise but I have done 3 Caribbean Cruises. They are my favorite way to travel because you get to see alot of areas and its a good way to visit places you have never been without committing a week in the place.
The only companies i have used are Carnival and Royal Caribbean. They were both great cruise companies. Carnival seemed to cater to the younger audience (late 20's) while Royal Caribbean had a wider age range and seemed a little more upscale. If you have any more specific questions let me know. |

Ferries scare the crap out of me because I have heard of a lot of them crashing. I will get on a fairy at Disney World for a ride from the parking lot to the Magic Kingdom, but I'll be damned before I get on one in open water. Screw that.

I wouldn't mind going on a Disney Cruise, because they have a good bit of adult-only sections and activities. And I wanna see Mickey Mouse!!
I wouldn't go on a fag cruise, cus it's all like greasy 50-year old men. Not the hot muscley guys like in the ads. Anyone done a cruise out of Galveston? |

I went on a Disney Cruise when I was younger. I believe I was 13 or 14 at the time. We went on their 4th cruise ever so they were still trying to get things squared away and solve minor issues. I have to say, it was an awesome cruise despite all that. I can only imagine how great they are now. It was so much fun. They had a ton of activities for all ages. I went on a Teen only excursion the day we were at Nassau. The ship was harbored and we took a smaller boat out onto the water. There was music and refreshments and stuff. Fun times.
