Alaska. Holland is good too, but it tends to have an older clientele. The ruby princess is pretty much identical to the Emerald, but we decided on the emerald as it was cheaper.

It's bumpy. Get a patch if anyone is prone to sea sickness.

My kids loved dogsledding, and the Yukon & White Pass RR. I loved TQ air's misty fjords seaplane

Cruise the inside passage. It's a much more scenic route than the alternative.

I guess I should have been more specific. How do you decide on a cruise line?

Work with a good travel agent who understands what is important to you.
