Additional details
Let me start off, by saying I really enjoyed my trip. I’ve always wanted to go on a cruise and I’m glad I finally got the chance to do one. Alaska truly is an amazing place to visit. Going through the Tracy Arm Fjord was truly a thing of beauty. Here is a recap of what I saw on the boat:
Boat
Since this was my first cruise, I had no idea what to expect when getting onto the boat. The boat is HUGE! I live in Seattle and apparently it’s the biggest boat that docks in Seattle (according to the local news station) I had previously read that the Seattle Dock is very unorganized in registering people to board the boat, but I had no problems at all. I think the entire thing took less than 20 minutes. The lady at the “front desk” took our pictures, asked what credit card we wanted to what room, and away we went….. Once on board, we went to the buffet to have lunch and then went to our rooms… After we dropped off our carry on bags, we went off to explore the boat. Like I said, the boat is HUGE. I didn’t feel like I was on a boat at all.
Cabin Review
Room (C Class Room #6293)The room was a very pleasant surprise. I expected it to be much smaller than what it was. I’ve stayed in hotels, where the rooms seemed more cramped. For 1 person, I had more than enough space. The bathroom was spacious as well. In fact, the bathroom in my room is bigger than my apt bathroom J I wasn’t in my room for more than 5 minutes, before my steward showed up and showed me how to use everything. My room had a note of “obstructed views”, but my view wasn’t obstructed at all. I just couldn’t look down to well, but I could see out with no issues what-so-ever. In fact, I saw a whale swimming right underneath my balcony one morning. My parents, where in room #6289 and their view was more obstructed. They had the crane thing that moves the life boats in front of their balcony, but they didn’t have any complaints. The only odd thing is; they had the hair dryer in the vanity, by the veranda and not in the bathroom. I don’t blow dry my hair, so I’m not sure why this is, but I had to help my mom locate hers.
