Message: [QUOTE="Chuck, post: 2767926, member: 1646"] It's been 13 years since my wife and I took an Alaska cruise with two other couples. We're not big on cruises, so a lot may have changed. We loved it, and I think it'll be great for kids . We're trying to budget it with ours in the future. One of the problems with the cruise is that you get a decent amount of older couples so some of the excursions are a bit soft. We sought out things that were a bit more adventurous (including the chopper on a glacier). The best trip we took was booking a small fishing excursion in lieu of a whale watch or big group fishing boat. It was just me and my two friends and one other guy. We caught halibut and salmon, had a bald eagle grab some bait from the boat, saw puffins, seals, and whales closer than the whale watching boat the wives took. It was fantastic. [/QUOTE]
