My parents and I cruised the Inside Passage to Alaska in late June 2008, enjoying a Verandah Suite cabin on the Navigation deck. This cruise exceeded our hopes!
The port at Vancouver was extremely well organized and embarkation went smoothly. Vancouver itself is a delightful city and I enjoyed Granville Island, Stanley Park, and the multitude of restaurants and shops in the few days I spent there for a conference before the cruise.
Our cabin was spotless and luggage was delivered without incident. Our concierge, Jackie, was charming and helpful. We loved the spacious outside deck, and it afforded many excellent views during our cruise.
