As this was part of an extended holiday our first decision to make was what cruise should we take. Once we had decided on an Alaskan cruise our committed travel dates restricted us to Carnival and the Carnival Spirit.
Although we struck some cold and wet weather the Alaskan scenery certainly made up for this.
Flying in from Australia we were glad that we had allowed two days pre cruise accommodation in Seattle, as our connecting flight from San Francisco was cancelled resulting in an unscheduled nights stopover there.
Only a few noise noise problems associated with unsupervised children? in the next doors cabin. Apart from that no ship noises to complain about.
The cabin is also handy to the MDR and the Deck Laundry.
