I was coerced into the first cruise I took, and probably would have paid more not to go. However, once there I really enjoyed it. We have a number of friends who have taken the Alaskan cruises, and my wife is thinking of booking one for us this summer. It seems the only issue is variable weather, and the odd fire that breaks out letting the ship drift out of control for days - oh wait, that is a Caribbean thing. Ken
