[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Alaska cruises are great.  You can fly to Seattle and do a week roundtrip from there (or fly to Seattle, train to Vancouver and start there).

No reason for "prescribed structure and activities"-- do what you want.

You could also cruise to Bermuda from Baltimore but that would be a bit more "at sea" time so maybe your husband would like it less.[/quote]

I am not a cruise person either. I went on an Alaskan cruise with my mom maybe 15 years ago. I loved Alaska and hated the cruise part of it. I really did feel trapped on the ship - the outings ("excursions") were awesome, like amazing amazing fun, but there wasn't much time. So even a hike was only a couple of hours; there wasn't time to go for a hike AND explore the town, etc.

I will be watching this thread because my parents and my husband and his family all love cruises, and it would be nice to find some that we'll all enjoy. As is I always feel like the jerk who can't relax (which, fair enough).[/quote]

I'm the one who posted above about my Alaska cruise, and I felt exactly the same. Alaska was great but we spent such a small fraction of our time there--the rest was churning through the water off Alaska and learning origami in the cruise lounge. I would absolutely take my kids back to Alaska but not on a cruise.[/quote]
