I can tell you've never been on one. So did you end up flying to Alaska and spending a week in each place? I doubt it. For me, a cruise is a great way to escape, it's more of a vacation for relaxation. You do have the option of exploring each port if you want, or you can just stay on the ship. If I wanted to explore a place of interest in more detail, I'd fly there for sure. Cruises serve their own purpose. I have backpacked in Alaska and I have also seen Alaska from a ship. Trust me, you missed out.
Not as of yet, though Alaska wasn't really on my list of places to go. Instead I went round Indonesia for a month.
Then when you get to Cali you'll have to hit up Mavericks near San Francisco, or Steamer's Lane in Santa Cruz, waters cold, but So Cal is a bit warmer. But from what I hear, the waves are better in No Cal.
Anyway, as far as cruising is concerned, I can see how you'd think it's narrow minded if you were actually trying to EXPLORE a place.

Yeah I've seen footage of both and both look absolutely quality to surf, but scary as well. If I have enough money left I may surf Mexico as well.
My parent have been on about 12 or 13 cruises during their lifetime, and they are still only 40.
I aint been on one, yet. I would love to go on one though but I aint got no one to go with, it aint something you would go with your mates and I aint going myself. Next time I meet a woman I will go on one.
