We just got back from a 7 Day Alaska cruise out of Vancouver, BC. We loved every minute. The scenery is amazing. Cruising the Interior is not what I expected. The ship was close to land the whole time. Some of the passages were so narrow. It was fun to see it navigate through. So beautiful. We saw whales, bears, dolphins & eagles from the ship.
The day in Glacier Bay we got up and were in the Crowe's Nest by 7. Had a great view and was narrated by a man from the park Service. We went outside to see the glaciers. The second glacier had a lot of calving...that was so fun to see despite what it means for the glacier :(
The food on the Lido deck was very good. Always something fun going on up there. The atrium roof closed after the 1st day. Sometimes it got a little stuffy in there but not too bad. There were 2 very nice pools and they were not crowded at all. We had 4 kids along in our group. I loved that we did not have to search fro them in the pool. There were never more than 15 or so people in at once.
