We have done three family reunion cruises to Alaska over the last eight
years and when it came time to vote again for where we wanted to cruise
next time, both of the kids asked for Alaska only if we could get HAL.
they didn't like NCL or Princess as much. Don't know why.

Hal was my personal favorite because they got so darn close into the
glaciers of College Fjord that you looked like you were surrounded by
ice and could almost smell the sea lions! lol

No matter which you pick, have fun and get out on deck to really
experience the ice!
