BSeabob touched on something I think is important. You can choose between large cruise ships or smaller cruise ships. Talking to all of our friends who have gone on an Alaskan cruise, we are convinced the small cruise ship is the best choice. The smaller cruise ships put you closer to the water's surface, making it easier to spot whales and other wildlife. They can move closer to shore and enter bays the large cruise ships have to avoid.The pictures shot by friends on the smaller ships are more exciting than the ones on the larger ships. The larger ships do have more onboard entertainment and dining options. We tend to like adventure over onboard activities, so the smaller ships appeal to us.I know our experience on small adventure cruises was more fun for us than on large cruise ships, but that is a personal preference.
