In and around North America

Prior to booking this trip my family and I did alot of research on cruises to Alaska. In the end we ended up going to a local travel agent to help us figure it all out. We had so many questions about state rooms, dining options and excursions that we needed someone to help.
We ended up booking with Princess and doing a cruise-tour which is both a cruise and a land tour. We booked the Diamond Princess as our ship.
