I loved this cruise. My wife and I's first.
I think it was key to have an aft-facing balcony. Seeing Dawes glacier bracketed by a 180 degree rainbow with waterfalls coming out of the mountains on the side was perhaps the most beautiful thing I have ever seen - all from our private balcony while sipping a drink.
Food was great. Staff was great. Entertainment was great.
On this trip - Best cabin on the boat. With an aft cabin you can see land on both sides of you through the Inside Passage. Glaciers right in front of you from your room. Sit on your balcony with a drink and watch for whales, seals, or peruse either shore with binoculars.
We slept with the outside door open every night.
8th floor was convenient to everything.
Get out on the Alaska water!
What beautiful landscape!
Fun fun fun. Easy - only one uphill section.
Seattle - another big US city - but a nice one.
