How many have you been on?
Cruising rocks, we go as often as possible... It's not a fucking boat (if you do it right), it's a luxury hotel where you wake up somewhere new every day.
Alaska is a nice destination, we did the inside passage after a road trip to Vancouver and went as far as
Hubbard Glacier, which is about as north as the big ships go...

I have to disagree with that.
While you WILL save money booking your own tour off-ship, BUT, if there's a problem, such as the tour van gets a flat tire, and you don't make it to the ship on time, it sails without you — however, if you book through the ship on an official tour, they won't leave you behind.
There's always a few folks that don't get the memo, and then are scrambling to catch a flight to the next port of call.
