What a great post - hubby and I have been discussing the cruise ship thing...he for..me not..hahaha...because I can't swim.

I love the water but I get freaky about big ships!! Anyway - I think he has convinced me to go and I for one would love to go see Alaska and thank you to all for the great advice for those that went. Hoping more will post about their experiences so that us "newbie cruisers" can get more ideas on where to go, what ship and what to bring.
I would have never known about the no iron thing...that was great advice to bring wrinkle spray.
