CathyG,
Thanks for the report. Our early experience with NCL in the Caribbean led us to favor Princess but the fares on our NCL Med cruise last year were too low to pass up so we set our expectations low for food and service and we were pleasantly surprised-no complaints.

So, many Alaskan itineraries do Inside Passage but not Glacier Park and vice versa or Sawyer and Hubbard. IF you had to pick, which was more important --Inside Passage or Glacier National Park?

Also, if one didn't want to spend big bucks on adventure excursions but rather just hop off the boat and enjoy something near port--- which ports, if any, offered something nearby other than tourist/souvenir shops?
Thanks
