For a one line summary- what an amazing cruise! Of the many cruises we have been on, this was on of the best we've ever been on.

We stayed at a hotel in downtown Seattle, which was really nice, since we were able to take a monrning run from our hotel to the ships and back. Being an incredible day- sun, sun, and more cool sun- we got to see both the Rhapsody and the Celebrity Millenium docked during the morning run.

And that seemed to help our timing as well- while I've recently read a few complaints about boarding, we didn't have any of those issues. Between the run and eating breakfast, we arrived at the port at nearly 12:30pm- so the crowd were much lighter, and we were able to get on the ship quite quickly. Since it was also near when the rooms were ready, it was a short wait until we went to the cabin and unpacked (we carried all of our luggage on).

Cabin Review

For an Alaskan cruise, this has to be one of the best cabins available.The cabin itself is just like any other Jr Suite- for this class of ships, it's ok. No walk in closet, but that's ok for the two of us.But the balcony is the one that wraps around the corner of the ship- seems as if it's the same square footage as the cabin is. Oh, so very worth the effort to get the cabin. The view when leaving Seattle and Olympia Park, the view of the inside passage, the view of the ports, and the amazing view of the glacier- all very enhanced by the size and shape of the cabin.
