I agree with Carol in regards to Princess. We have cruised about half dozen times on Princess and never been let down. Back in 2003 we did a 2 week Alaska cruisetour with Princess. We flew into Fairbanks to start the land portion of the tour and ended up in Anchorage 6 days later. The train is awesome and the lodges they set set you up in are great. We then went by bus from Anchorage to Whittier and boarded the Coral Princess where we did a southbound cruise. There were stops in Juneau, Sitka, Ketchikan and Skagway as well as cruising into the fjords and bays. The cruise ended in Vancouver, B.C. where we flew home. That was a trip that was definitely a bucket list trip!
