Question

Booking a cruise to Alaska. What passage is the best-inside or outside? and what cruise line do you recommend?

Answer 1

Outside!! With a scenic cruise like Alaska you want to see the view at all times. Norweigian Cruise Line is good. My friends went on a cruise to Alaska on NCL and loved it!

Answer 2

Regent 7 Seas Cruises

I would want outside passage, so I could get the view.  I'd pay a little extra for that.

Answer 3

First, if you can afford an outside room for this one cruise, it is a must. While you are going thru the inside passage of glacier bay, everyone goes up on deck to watch the glaciers. It gets very crowed up there and unless you are 6'5", you can't see well, but if you have a outside balcony stay at your room, sit down and enjoy the view. I did my cruise with Princess. We did a cruise/tour spending an extra 4 days touring Denali, riding trains, seeing Jeff Kings(famous musher) place and seeing lots of wildlife. We then got on the ship. It was grand and the thing I really like about going thru Princess is they have there won lodges that you stay at before you cruise or if you prefer, after your cruise. They also take care of everything for you. Best cruise ever & I have been on 8 cruises with Princess.
