Matching a client with the best cruise line for them is a bit of an art form. Also, I wish I had known 20 years ago that you will usually save money by booking with an agent rather than through the cruise lines directly.

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

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?
