Mrs. jwasbury and I just did our first cruise two weeks ago. It was a 7 day Alaska inside passage cruise and we had a fantastic trip. We were on a Princess ship. The food was surprisingly good, especially the sit down venues. We were fortunate to have perfect weather, but also chose a stateroom mid ship which tends to have the least motion in heavy seas. We also sprang for a mini-suite stateroom which included a larger bathroom with a tub/shower combo (the smaller ones had only a tiny shower) and also a sitting area with a sofa and chair which was worth it to have a quiet and private place to chill out away from the other passengers. Alaska is a very cool place to visit with many incredible sights, and getting there via cruise ship made sense. A great vacation that I heartily recommend.
