What can we expect the “same” for an Alaska versus a cruise to the Caribbean ? What’s different ? Why folks keep going back !

An Alaska cruise versus a Caribbean, have many similarities, yet certainly differences !  You may see different sites in Alaska, to include their culture, however, once back onboard, you have the same type of cruise life.

For the most part, you’ll find these same opportunities:

*Variety of dining venues
*Daily activities
*Night time entertainment
*Shopping – onboard and in port
*Shore Excursion ventures

Choices you might find different:

*Food or wine
*Lectures/seminars onboard
*Jewelry and clothes – onboard & in port
*Cultural type shore excursions – Yet opportunities like zip lining, can be found in both.  Even snorkeling.

 

On sunny days, you will still find folks in their bathing suits on deck and in the jacuzzi’s.  Whether it’s enjoying the mountainous views or just soaking up some rays !

I find that more folks venturing on an Alaska cruise, will opt in getting off the ship in port, to explore it’s town or partake in an excursion, more often than I see on Caribbean cruises.  Not only cause many folks have never been there, but in truly wanting to see the cultural differences.

And though many folks believe, their chosen vacation to Alaska may be there one and only time, so many folks, return over and over.  Not only for opportunities they missed the first time around, but to revisit sites/opportunities they truly loved.

Alaska offers, not only a serenity type of feeling, but it’s locals are so friendly !  An atmosphere, that often, keeps you coming back.

And though you want to plan like you’ll never come back, you may quickly decide differently, once there or upon returning home, and revisiting all your memories !

I’ve been 13 times, and each year, hope to return the next .  If I had my rathers, I would visit 3 times each season, to provide more dates, for new folks and returning folks, to travel with me.
