We sailed Northbound July 5, 2013. First cruise for hubby, second for me. We started our adventure July 4th in Seattle,took the Amtrak to Vancouver on the morning of the 5th...what an awesome view for most of the trip. Customs was quite easy at the train station, cab to the port. Bags taken from us at curb. Embarkation was fast and stress-free. Champagne and mimosas upon entering ship were nice. We were able to go to our staterooms almost immediately.

Stateroom- We were near the aft elevators- convenient location, nice room, clean and plenty of storage, we were greeted with a bottle of champagne and apples. The balcony consisted of two comfortable chairs and a table...we spent a lot of time on the balcony! The towels, bath rug, duvet, and bath robes were all white, stains were evident, and condition would be described as well-worn, but clean. The minibar was ridiculous,including a half empty bottle of Evian?? we asked for it to be emptied, so the stateroom attendant just stored the bottles from the shelves in the cabinet around the fridge, waste of time as it never got cold, barely cool- waste of space! Room was always clean, but had to request ice bucket most of the time, the afternoon "appetizers" consisted of a few chips, olives, and either a spoonful of hummus, or a salsa of sorts- not worth it. Blackout curtains saved us from the sun in the wee hours of the mornings.

MDR- We chose late dining but were hugely disappointed at our table arrangement-we were on our 25th anniversary and seated at a 12 person table with a family of 7, and 3 from the next table full of little kids- who actually opted to all squeeze into one table...so that left us to intrude on the family of 7...after dinner #3 we left the family, ate once upstairs, then talked to the staff who worked us in the next 2 nights-and as in other reviews- food was average, and staff varied from table to table and in most cases, drinks were not filled unless you asked unless you were drinking alcohol then they were like hawks.
