WHAT HAS BEEN YOUR FAVORITE DESTINATION TO CRUISE TO ?

With 101 personal cruise experiences, for me to choose only "one" would be unfair to all the places I've cruised to !

#1 for me is visiting Alaska. I have been 10 times, returning for 2 back to back cruises in 2009. I could visit Alaska every year ! To me, it offers such peace and tranquility ! The WHITE PASS TRAIN in Skagway, to include the motorcoach tour into the Yukon, is my favorite excursion. My 2nd choice tour, is DEADLIEST CATCH tour (like seen on TV), in Ketchikan. Also in Ketchikan, I've taken the CRABBING tour, a cooking tour, the Logging show, and visits to the Totem Village. In Juneau, I've gone whale watching, salmon fishing, made trips to Mendenhall Glacier, Mining tour and gold panning, and I love to go up on the Tram for the ALL YOU CAN EAT - CRAB FEAST ! I've been on the land tours in Denali twice, but my favorite was when I customized the package for a group I took in 2007 ! Besides the large ocean liners, I have also taken a CRUISE WEST cruise, which gets you close to the WILDLIFE ! I hope to do this again some day !

My #2, was the most exciting cruise I had. It was to Egypt, to include a cruise down the Nile. These people literally live like you see on TV. And all the different sites and sculptures you see on TV are there ! When arriving to our river boat, to get onboard, you actually wanted a gang plank ! The staff brought your luggage onboard. While there, I also rode a camel toward the pyramids, something I would probably never try again !! You need lots of cash for Egypt, because very few take CC. Things were inexpensive, such as LARGE bottled water for 50 cents !

My #3, would probably go to a transatlantic cruise, beginning in Amsterdam. We then sailing to Belgium, Paris, Ireland, and Scotland, prior to crossing the Atlantic, and ending in Boston. These destinational ports offered a great variety in cultural experience for all of us sailing ! I bought wooden shoes in Holland, we visited the Eiffel Tower in Paris, and visited a few pubs in Ireland. We were excited to be in Scotland on the day of the TATOO (If you don't know what this is, check it out on the web) ! FABULOUS ! Also, while in Scotland, I met up with friends/customers, whom I met on another cruise, and they took my friends and I around to experience MORE than any other cruiser, on our ship, could have experienced in one day ... Castles, museums, small villages and MORE !

My #4, would be a River Cruise on the Seine River in Paris. This river cruise gave me a change to experience all the different tours, that I had missed, when I only had one day in Paris, on my other cruise. We took a river cruise past the Eiffel Tower, visited many artist ports, along with a stop at Normande !

My #5, would be in Asia. It was a 2 week cruise, from Singapore, going to Thailand, Malaysia, and MORE ! Many temples to visit, to include a snake temple !

My #6, began in Japan and ended in Alaska. This was 19 nights. There were 3 stops in Japan, we went to South Korea, Russia, and then 3 stops in Alaska before ending in Seattle !

My #7, is doing the Mediterranean. I have only been twice, but I have a desire to take a group, to show them the culture of these lands !

My #8, would be Australia/New Zealand. Though just flying there is expensive, this is a must see. It's probably the only foreign lands I've been to, that I didn't acually feel like I was on foreign ground !
