Most Alaskan cruises stop in Vancouver, BC instead. That way it also capitalizes on Canadian cruisegoers, and it's a pretty good (albeit similar to Seattle) stop.
- malfist 4y agoI've looked at some alaskan cruises recently. They all stop there for like 2 hours. It's literally being used as a loophole.
- bfgoodrich 4y agoIt's literally being used as a place where people embark on their trip. It is a major source port for people boarding Alaskan cruises. The "loophole" is that you started somewhere else -- clearly the cruise should have started in Vancouver.
- mynameisvlad 4y agoI would say "por que no los dos". It's both a good hop-on point for Canadians, and also gets around the Jones act without seemingly random stops like Prince Rupert. Realistically, if you're sailing out of Vancouver or Victoria, it makes little sense not to start a bit further south in Seattle. And if you're starting in Seattle and going to Hawaii or Alaska, you have to stop somewhere in between due to said act.
