Missing the inflatable boat launch opportunity must have been heartbreaking. I have been on a zodiac inflatable boat on both the East and West Coast's of Canada for both Whale watching tours and hiking tours and I found it amazing. I lived on the west coast of Canada until recently so I have hiked on glaciers and travelled the coastal waters on several occasions. What is interesting is that most of the people who take the Alaska cruises are not from the West coast. I asked my friends about it on several occasions and the only reply I could get was that they were used to seeing the trees and water and it did not strike them as particularily interesting! -- Oh Well. My wife and I will be taking a Mediterranean cruise this fall to see Italy, Greece Spain and Turkey. I have definitely taken note of what happened to the Callison's and the advice offered. We have only taken one cruise in our life out of New Orleans which cruised the Caribbean. It was an international crew and a very large boat. The trip was amazing and interestingly enough many of the people we met were from Louisiana and Texas -- They were traveling local! That is too bad about there experience on the Alaska cruise.
