We scheduled a repositioning cruise on the Vision of the Seas from Los Angeles to Vancouver, BC and I had checked the website and found that NCL was offering a one-night Dinner & Dance cruise from Vancouver, BC to Seattle, WA for an unbelievable rate in a Balcony Cabin. Score!

This trip proved to be an adventure for a one-nighter. I am going to try and keep a light tone to this review but it was nasty, as several thousand cruisers can attest to.

Looking for an exotic travel location that is thrilling and luxurious? Alaskan cruises have surged in popularity in recent years, and demand to see America’s last unspoiled frontier continues to grow. Alaskan Cruises only operate between the months of May and September or early October and tend to follow one of two principal routes; the Gulf of Alaska or the Inside Passage.

Anchorage is the starting (or ending) point for many Alaskan cruises, but most passengers actually board or disemabark their ships from Seward (125 miles sounth on Resurrection Bay). Alaskan cruises may also start in the town of Vancouver BC.

In this series on knowing the ins and outs of taking a cruise for a vacation, I have already told you about a lot of things. The best part of cruising, there is still more, especially when it comes to enjoying life on board while at sea (or even at port).

On a side note, not really related to what I am about to discuss, one of the biggest fallacies about cruising is that you when you are in port, you must get off the ship. That just isn`t true. Believe me, many people I was around on a couple of my cruises thought you “had” to get off the ship. No you don`t if you really have no interest in where the shipped is docked.

While cruise vacations are excellent values and have many wonderful things to recommend them, most single people know the dark little secret of the cruise industry. It’s hard to cruise alone. That’s not because cruise lines don’t want single passengers. It’s just that they’re not really set up to accommodate them!

In fact, most cruise lines actually impose a bit of a penalty on the solo cruise vacationer. If you want to cruise alone, you certainly are free to do so, but you will end up paying an up charge to get your stateroom.
