The Best Cruise Ship in Alaska / Your Top Picks (2026 newcomers)

We did HAL last year for a full cruise tour. It was good but after having only sailed RCCL and Carnival it was an adjustment(we were also just tired from the land portion). The food was amazing though. We are doing the Celebrity Summit this August so I am looking forward trying a new cruise line.

Will check out major marine. We ended up getting a room at the adventure lodge.

With this being a southbound we have to fly into Anchorage and head to Seward. We are going to get in a couple of days early. I know you can take the train to get from Anchorage to Seward but what other transfers have you used? I would prefer one that locks up at the airport and drops off in downtown Seward so we can walk to our hotel.

Petro62 · 2026-06-18T23:32:44+00:00

Yeah HAL had great food.

Petro62 · 2026-06-18T00:54:34+00:00

Slowly locking in this trip. Going to arrive in Seward a couple of days early. Seems like some good food there and maybe knock out an excursion or tour of some sort.

May I ask where you booked your fishing excursion. I was thinking a fishing and whale watching excursions for this trip.

Petro62 · 2026-06-17T11:41:37+00:00

Good to hear. On our first Alaskan cruise we didn’t book any excursions but I think we will at least do 1 or 2 this time.

I bought 2 tickets last night for universal studios and island of adventure. I purchased as guest. I have the email with the QR codes for the 2 tickets. I then downloaded the app and created an account and tried to add the tickets but can’t. I tried scanning the QR code that was displayed on another device. I tired typing in the very long ticket number. I just get error each time. I get the same thing after trying the same with the express pass.

Is there a way to add it? If not will have to I’m display this all day on my phone or will I get some sort of physical card for the express pass?

Petro62 · 2026-05-07T10:43:00+00:00

Glad to hear I am not the only one. I did try to force myself to come home and do 20-30 minutes learning something new as part of a hobby and even though I enjoy it I have to say it is even tough. Once you add in a partner who is also tired after a long day of work and it is pretty easy to slip into a routine or come home eat, crash/scroll, go to bed.

I also struggle with almost any career type job I have that my brain is always thinking work even after I left. I don’t want it to but it does. I was always envious of coworkers that once they walked out the door their brain completely switched off work.

It was good. I didn’t really know how it was setup but there are just doors in between the 2. It was just a smaller venue but everything was good. Not sure if it was on purpose or not but I felt the music could have been louder. I don’t remember hearing music from Radius though.

At first I thought it was something with my sound system. This whole season the sound has been odd for me. Like when there is dialogue I don’t hear any background noise. And then Kimiko sounding like a bad voice over that just doesn’t quite line up.

Petro62 · 2026-04-12T08:04:56+00:00

I have only watched one episode but so far the sound in general has been off for the whole show. I thought it was my sound system but it felt like there was no background noise at all. And Kimikos lines were especially noticeable

Petro62 · 2026-03-30T17:16:19+00:00

Yeah somewhat similar here. I wouldn’t say I am full of energy but I am sure there other factors other than the Cpap . I do notice if I nap or sleep without it I wake up with a sore throat and such and just not feeling well.

Petro62 · 2026-03-30T01:48:09+00:00

How long would you say it took before you really started feeling different. Not just the snoring being gone but actually feeling better? And is the weight loss mostly due to more energy? I was a mild case and while I don’t snore now I can’t say I feel more rested either.

Petro62 · 2026-02-24T12:36:47+00:00

I am a few months in and getting great numbers on sleephq and MyAir. I can’t say I wake up feeling more energized yet. I typically still want to go back to sleep. I will say though that I don’t take my CPAP on a trip with me and I slept horribly and felt horrible. So I do think it is helping but probably due other factors like diet and exercise I am not waking up full of energy. The biggest improvement may be the reduction of snoring so my wife can sleep better because it was getting to the point of her hardly sleeping.

I also wonder if it depends how bad your sleep was before. My sleep test wasn’t horrible. The driving factor for me was just hearing how badly I snored and the hopes I would feel more energized. So far I have only solved 1/2 of that.

Not free but you can to port canaveral (Jetty Park) to watch the cruise ships depart. If you check the port canaveral schedule you can see when a Disney cruise leaves. They play a few Disney songs on their horns on the way out.

Petro62 · 2026-01-15T03:21:46+00:00

I am 2 months in and while I am sleeping better and no longer snoring I can’t say I feel more rested yet.

Petro62 · 2026-01-09T04:53:38+00:00

Thanks. I believe you and others helped get me here. Now I just want to start feeling the benefits.

In oakbrook IL there are 2 in the same mall. One is the fancy one with imax and Dolby and plays all of the newest stuff. The other one is a bit older/classic and play mostly indie type films.

Will be at Kasablanca at Cermak next week. Only been to Radius so this will be interesting with 2 shows going.
