My review will be very honest and I will try to touch on everything...

My wife and I are in our 40's and we have cruised all over the place from Europe to Hawaii and all throughout the Caribbean. This was our second cruise to Alaska. The fist was with Holland America on the Westerdam. This ship did not come close to the Westerdam.

We flew in two days early and stayed at the Westin Seattle. Great place with a great view of the needle. We are Gold Starwood members and always try to stay at one of their properties. We took the Airporter Shuttle that was around $15 each that took us to the hotel. The next morning, we went on a Wine Tour that picked us up at the hotel and took us to (2) wineries for tastings, a great waterfall, and a chocolate factory that we could have done without. This tour was about $65 and lasted from 10 until 5:30. I think it was called "The Best of Seattle Wine and Waterfall tour. You could Google it if you are interested. Well worth the price. Read more
