Here is an article that sums Alaska up.

http://www.mattanaw.org/false-and...laska.html [mattanaw.org]
Wow, that article is so far off base it isn't even funny.

Example:
"Alaskan hotels have a rustic cabin beauty in nature"...."Alaskan hotels are overpriced and in the slums."

Then they rant about a few random chain hotels in the largest US State. That would be like saying "I went into a Toronto McDonalds therefore all Canadian restaurants serve BigMacs."

Other examples:
"You'll see the Aurora"...."Only if You're Not Comfortable."

Yeah, because you can't see northern lights from your hotel and only at night when it is cold. Okay? And there isn't HVAC at the Pyramids of Giza...were we expecting something else?

"You'll see whales."...."You could, if you can endure long cold stares."

You mean wildlife isn't within walking distance from the local Red Lobster nor appears on command? Damn you Alaska!!!

LOL. This article was written by the kind of person who goes to the movies, not the local sites, when visiting a foreign country then complains about the trip because the popcorn didn't meet their high standards. Sorry, guy, the movie theater outside of the Great Wall of China didn't have Jiffy Pop laugh out loud

I went on my first Cruise last year to Alaska on Carnival, I recommend getting a Balcony Room. Going back in May on a casino deal for 682 with balcony , free drinks everywhere, 200 onboard credit and 500 to play in the casino. If you like to gamble you can upload your casino cards from land and should be able to get good deals through Carnival. Roya Caribbean maybe a little better , but Carnival gives better deals.

I'll make sure to avoid the "La Quinta" the article complains about on my next trip to Alaska.

BTW, wonder what La Quinta means in Inuit Wink

Alaska is a place with immense natural beauty, but there are a lot of elements that make it a place you don't want to stick around for too long. A cruise is the perfect way to see the beauty of the state, while limiting your exposure to the negative elements (all caused by the large proportion of low quality individuals who choose to call Alaska home).

Everyone I know that has gone to Alaska (including myself) has been left with a feeling we've been had. Like conned. I will never go back I got it out of my system to the tune of $7500. Really wasn't even close to being worth the money.

Did you do a cruise or a land tour? I have been on an Alaska Cruise and I had a great experience…not somewhere I would go again anytime soon, but it was still a great trip. What about it made you feel like you were conned? I would say there the purpose to visit is the natural beauty and wildlife…I would not encourage anyone to visit Alaska for cultural attractions or to mingle with the local population.

Alaska sounds wonderful until you actually go and realize it's a desperately poor almost third world crime ridden place that you never want to stray from the tourist areas. Most people don't go back. If anyone takes this deal my strong advice is never leave the boat.
My parents just returned and said they same exact thing. Negative downvotes are denying reality.

Went in may, first real no mask post pandemic to alaska. Quantum of the seas. Ship sucks, long lines no room at bars ever, no openings for excursions. No space for ride signup. Upcharges for everything. Terrible food outside the dining room. No late night selections besides pizza. The ports were a mess. Victoria b.c. was barely a 3 hour stop. It was supposed to be a glacier tour and we did not see 1 glacier (qent 3 hours in an inlet just to turn around for small chunks of ice (that seemingly did not get bigger, 100% sure they were just late to the next port) best part of the cruise was the crisp cool weather all week and white line rail road in skagway. In ketchikan i rented an atv from a local, by far the highlight. Drove out to an island and went up a mountain, was 10 feet from a grizzly bear. Everything else involving the ship was miserable. nasty loud kids/family banging the walls next door and rude international "citizens" everywhere made me want to request a refund.
That's all the reason why we took Disney Alaska cruise last September. No up charges accept the one fine restaurant. For excursions we were able to book ourselves to the same stuff as through Disney but at let 50% or more cheaper. One was like 100 people and like 90 were from Disney bought and they got a some snacks and 10 of us went directly and save big bucks. Cause we were all from the same ship they allowed to have their snacks as we were a small groups (was crab fishing and sight seeing for a 1/2 day. We had a great time

See I think the problem here is just what people value in vacations. Everyone has such strong opinions that you will never get them to change their mind. The arguments run the spectrum...

Anti-cruisers say
- It's a "petri dish" where everyone gets sick
- You sit around and get fat and it is boring
- Your trapped on a ship
- Its for old people
- It is too regimented of an itinerary

Pro cruisers say:
- You can get sick there just like any resort/hotel/location
- You sit around as much as you want like any resort or take excursions
- Different ships and lines are for different target consumers
- If you wanted to stay in a port for longer, one more day wouldn't do it anyway, come back for a week to that place another time

Then you have the location arguments...

Anti-Alaska:
- A vacation is sitting on a beach 10 hours a day in the hot sun where I'm served drinks
- A vacation is fine dining, public transport everywhere, warm/dry weather, beautiful sunsets, water sports, and minimum physical effort

Pro Alaska:
- I can sit around a local pool or beach at home and pay someone a lot less to watch me sleep and bring me drinks on a lounge chair
- A vacation is an adventure
- Fun happens no matter what the weather is
- The great outdoors isn't just boating, beach, and cities, it's rainforests, glaciers, and wildlife


Like so many things, I think the best approach is just "live and let live." If a cruise isn't for you, fine, don't crap on everyone else's idea of a good time.

For everyone looking for the best value... well the REAL value nuts out there would have you know that paying for any "experience" is a waste of money because at the end you have no real tangible assets to show for it. Personally, I left value at the door when I had children and subscribe to the thinking that the only things truly valuable (and I do like my toys) are experiences and not things.

You Very Accurately described how Cruising has changed from a Leisurely Gourmet experience in the past with almost everything prepaid to an overcrowded junk food experience designed to maximize On Board Revenue today. After 107 cruises my best advice: Avoid the Largest Ships where you're not catered to but herded like cattle & choose the Smallest Ship you can afford. Often tips etc are included with fare.

Taught in Ewa Beach and Waianae on Oahu. Some kids couldn't do homework because they had no electricity. Some had no running water. Lots of poverty and crime once you get away from the tourist areas, even more so if you're Haole.
