I have been considering going on my first cruise, but with all the troubles the cruise lines have been having in the last few years I am somewhat reluctant. Some people say it is the best time they have ever had and others say it is like being trapped on a prison in the ocean. I was thinking maybe an Alaskan cruise would be pretty cool. So what are your opinions on cruises SRP members? Have any of you gone on one, what was your experience? Any recommendations?
