hi globug

i just saw your post and thought i would give just a little info that i have. i am going back to alaska next may on the carnival spirit out of vancouver. it is a great ship and is roundtrip. i absolutely loved it. it is one of the few ships that go to glacier bay. its ports are skagway, junea and ketchikan. my friend and i are saving over $300 each on airfare by flying into seattle and taking the quick shuttle bus to vancouver. we get on it right at the seattle airport or it picks up passengers at a hotel downtown seattle for vancouver. of course we are getting in the day before so we can relax the night before we board and not worry about missing the departure time for the ship. go to www.quickshuttle.com and you can see the times the bus goes and comes back to seattle and vancouver. it is around $70 roundtrip but worth it too us. no driving and we will have our luggage taken care of too. they drop you off at the vancouver airport and hotels downtown vancouver. some of my family members just got back from the alaska cruise roundtrip on the princess diamond out of seattle. they loved it and had a great time. of course on this trip you are out in the open water more than being more inland like the ships that leave vancouver. i hope you can find just the right ship and route to take. you will love this cruise and want to go back. my best advice is, if you want to see wildlife and especially whales, book a tour. you have a 99% chance of seeing them if you do. have a great time.
