This time last year I was on a cruise in Alaska. We saw whales, seals, dolpins, eagles and bears. It was such a wonderful trip. I will do it again first chance I get. Beautiful!!!!

15. Went last year and loved it

My wife and I only did a one-week cruise and it was fantastic. Glacier Bay is amazing. Oh, if you drink beer, try the Spruce Tip Ale while in Skagway.

By the way, take a few moments to enjoy Vancouver. It is a great city.
