So, you really want to Cruise Alaska? Well let's go!
First and foremost in order to find the cruise that suits you and/or your family, you must decide:
When do you want to cruise?
How many people will be traveling?
What length of cruise sparks my interest?
Do I just want a cruise or do I want to expand my horizons and take a cruise tour?
Do I have prior cruise experience?
All those are important questions and most likely you will be answering them over and over again as you call for pricing or obtain price quotes online.
Step 2
Now that you have prepared yourself and are ready to start shopping, you must put the internet to use! There are some great deals offered that will help you cruise Alaska in style. Different Cruise Lines offer different environments. Do you want more of a freestyle experience, fun, casual, or luxury?

Step 3
Now that you have chosen the Cruise Line you wish to Cruise Alaska on,it’s time to do some shopping! Where can you get the best deals available? Through the actual Cruise Line or do you think there are other resources that will offer you a better deal than the Cruise Line itself?
I would suggest you first get a price quote from the Cruise Line itself, see what they offer as extras and see if they have any specials or discounts such as:
AAA
AARP
Past Guest Rates
Military
Government Rates
Onboard Spending
Rewards
Other specials that you would qualify for such as Resident Rates, Policeman or Fireman rates
All of that information is generally made available on the websites specific to the Cruise Line or you can also consult your travel agent or a local agent that books cruises. Being able to relax while you Cruise Alaska knowing you got the best deal you could will definitely enhance that relaxation!

www.smartcruiser.com

The best way to find the best deal is to shop around, compare prices, use some of the resources given and determine what perks you are getting along with your cruise price.
A terrific one-stop resource is www.bookingbuddy.com where you can enter your destination and month of travel and you will be given several results which you can select and compare prices on.
Step 5
Now that you have taken the appropriate steps and made your selections, price comparisons and have obtained other information, it’s time for you to decide who offered the best deal to you.
You can do this by first looking at the all-inclusive price and see what extra offers were made to you such as onboard coupon booklets, onboard spending and other perks.
Weigh it all out and determine what the best deal really is. Did you get any discounts or special rates you were entitled to? Make sure you did because that is on way to determine that you are getting the best deal to Cruise Alaska like you wanted to, right?
