One objection to cruising I’ve heard from two different people is that they would be “claustrophobic “ because they’d feel trapped because they couldn’t get off the ship for days at a time. I ask them if they’d get claustrophobic in a mall or in a resort, but to no avail.

My tip for someone who likes aft view cabins - book one of the very aft balcony cabins. On the deck plan it looks like the balcony is smaller, but no - it wraps around to the back so you have a great Wake View from your balcony. It is actually bigger than other balconies. Our cabin was 14642

Hello llana we are doing an Alaska cruise tour May 14 of next year on the Coral Princess it’s going to be the MA6 (13 day Off the Beaten Path). We are going to take the train from Chicago to Vancouver probably leaving Chicago on May 10 getting in Vancouver on the 12. We would like to spend a day or 2 in Vancouver doing some sightseeing so we were wondering 1. Is there a hotel that you could recommend (not to expensive) lol 😂 somewhere between the train station and the cruise port that you could recommend? 2. Things to see that you and your family could recommend? 3. In early May how should we pack? What should we pack/bring?
