obviously doesn't have a beach option. The scenic views on Alaska are amazing - esp if you go to Glacier Bay National Park for cruising the bay.

Thinking about a cruise next year. Never been on one. Recommendations? Viking is good?

Royal Caribbean is good. I hear there is a nice trip around April or so.

Isn’t that hurricane season? Be cautious of the timing.

Very true. I'd be careful timing a Caribbean cruise during the fall/hurricane season.

Viking is high end and expensive. Excellent service. Well staffed. Celebrity is

Also, the cheaper the cruise the more kids and booze cruisers. My opinion:

If you do Viking, you’ll be the youngest by about 30 years.

Viking does not allow any children and they only market to 50+

I recommend Western Caribbean cruises for first timers.
