lilcruiser, I am so glad you shared your enthusiasm with us. My daughter started cruising when she was 4 and at 22 it is still her VERY FAVORITE kind of vacation. Just like you, she loved to share her joy of cruising with other kids. Keep having fun!!!! Nancy
I am looking at the Star for August of 2006. I will have an 8 year old (his 3rd cruise) and a 3 1/2 year old. I have never done Alaska before and I am worried about it being rough, how is it? Will the ship have a lot of other children? Thanks!
There is very little rough water on Alaska cruises, depending on your itinerary. If you are doing a roundtrip Inside Passage from either Seattle or Vancouver, there will probably be only a few hours, most likely overnight one night, of even remotely rough seas (8 to 10 feet, maybe). If you are going northbound or southbound between Seattle/Vancouver and Seward, there will probably be one day that could be a bit rough. During those times is when you are exposed to the Pacific Ocean; otherwise, you're sheltered in the Inside Passage.
