I went on a cruise to Alaska for a week. Some people may think that going on a cruise to Alaska is the last thing they would want to do. Why go to the land of snow and tundra (also known as the last frontier) when you can go to the Bahamas or the Caribbean and rot in the sun?
I'll explain why you should pick Alaska over any warm place in the world. Let's be honest here, you will be able to go to the beach almost anywhere warm. To be honest, beaches are nothing new or unique (discounting those that are, like the black sand beaches in Hawaii). However, in Alaska you can see glaciers among other amazing things, including bears, whales, porpoises, bald eagles, etc. You may say that you don't care about seeing a giant piece of ice, but if you think about it, that giant piece of ice may disappear before your children get to see it, so why go sit on a beach and rot away in the sun (and probably get skin cancer) when you can go see sights and smell smells you have never experienced before, and may never experience again?
If you say that you are "more of a rot in the warmth" kind of person; Alaska has something to offer you. Why sit in the sun on a beach when you can sit in the warmth of a hot tub under the cool beautiful Alaskan sky?
I mean, if you really want to go rot away on another beach wherever you go, do it, but if you want to experience life, go Alaska!
If my somewhat abrasive commentary did not lure you away from your spot on the beach, maybe these pictures will.
