Alaska Tip. Folks ask, which cruise line ? Do I, for myself, choose based on cruise line personality or added value benefits ?




 
Usually, when customers call for their first cruise, I’m trying to find out their own personality, in trying to match up with a specific cruise line.  Unless folks only looking for price.

In some cases, with Alaska, folks still looking, just for price. However, in my opinion, you can miss out on some of the essentials or popularities, if only choosing by price.

Such as, price can leave you with …

             Missed main ports

             Minimal times in port

             Not the most popular glacier to see

 
Yet, that’s not always the case.  You could actually just choose your favorite cruise line and miss out on added value available !

Whether adding a land package or not, I tend to look deep at what the different cruises are offering, before deciding which cruise.  Then I turn to look at the land offers.

However, I keep in mind, when I’m including a land package, I tend to look more at Princess or Holland America, because their train portion, involves Denali (or near) to Anchorage or to the ship. Where as other cruises lines do not.

I have a total “set way” of dissecting the many different packages, before deciding which one for myself (and guiding others).  I’m looking for parts of the puzzle to be included.  So I’m not as specific, to which cruise line, till I see the puzzle, I’m including a land package.

When you’re ready for me to help you too, with the puzzle, call me !  Alaska continues to be my most favorite destination. And try to get there every other year, if not every year.

Matter of fact, one of the Alaska cruises I have my eye on right now in 2017, is Royal Caribbean, May 17 for 9 nights.  Call me and join me. We have reserved space.
(434/800) 237-3832.  Mention you saw my "I Love Alaska" blog !

Next Alaska Blog post ... May 17 ... I'll be cruising week of May 4.
