Funeegal Posted August 24, 2021 Report Share Posted August 24, 2021 Hi - We are currently booked on 7/1/2022 Alaska 7-day round-trip from Seattle. We use Autism on the Seas as our TA because we are provided with help for our exceptional child To make a long story short, we do not have the option to do the NB or SB Alaska sailings. We DO, however, have the opportunity to do a B2B with the 7/8 round trip from Seattle. The only difference in sailings is the 7/1 goes to Dawes Glacier and the 7/8 takes the inside passage. This is our first time doing any kind of Alaska sailing. Ports of call are Sitka, Skagway, Juneau, and Victoria, BC for both cruises. Is it worth doing a B2B sailing given the same ports of call? I understand it is my decision, but want to get some thoughts from others who may have done these trips (or gone more than once to Alaska). TIA!

KristiZ Posted August 24, 2021 Report Share Posted August 24, 2021 I would totally do this, especially if it's your first time to Alaska. There is way more to see in each of those ports than can be done in one visit. Baked Alaska, USCG Teacher, Skigoofy and 1 other 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kathleen Posted August 24, 2021 Report Share Posted August 24, 2021 I would do it in a heartbeat, especially if it is your first visit to Alaska!! At the end our Alaska sailing, I would have loved one additional week. USCG Teacher, Baked Alaska, Funeegal and 1 other 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HeWhoWaits Posted August 25, 2021 Report Share Posted August 25, 2021 So much to see and so many options for things to do - if I had the opportunity to do those B2B I would not hesitate for a second. Funeegal and WAAAYTOOO 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
teddy Posted August 25, 2021 Report Share Posted August 25, 2021 I've never cruised to Alaska, but I have flown into Anchorage then spent a couple weeks exploring the Kenai Peninsula. When we left, we both said that we wish there would have been more time to spend there. Based on this experience with Alaska, I don't think you'll have any problems finding different things to do in the same ports of call. Alaska is an amazing state.

Funeegal Posted August 25, 2021 Author Report Share Posted August 25, 2021 I pulled the trigger. I booked the back to back. Refundable. All I had to do was put down a deposit now. I will re-price the cruise from now until final payment and then switch it to a non-refundable to get more savings. I was lucky enough to get the same cabins for both sailings. teddy, Chadster, whitsmom and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ampurp85 Posted August 26, 2021 Report Share Posted August 26, 2021 @FuneegalAre they allowing children to participate in B2B yet? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am not sure what things will look like next summer, but my kids are old enough and already vaccinated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
