Alaska has been one place we have always wanted to visit and a cruise seemed the best introduction. The only problem was we didn't want to be on a big ship. Searching the internet led us to Un-Cruise.
The Safari Endeavour was heading for it's summer playground of Alaska from Baja and we picked it up in Seattle. We started at a reception centre in the Crowne Plaza and made our way to the ship via a short city tour on a coach. At dock side the owner welcomed us on board.
We were photographed before being shown by a member of the crew to our cabin where our luggage was already waiting. Cabin 303 was towards the front of the ship on the 300 deck. We wanted to be able to step out onto the deck straight from our cabin and the 300 deck is ideal for this.
The cabin was just what we needed. The beds were very comfortable, even for my bad back. Plenty of space for our clothes and luggage.
The bathroom was compact but not restrictive. Like most ships all space is used.
The cabin opened straight to the walk around deck. This is what we wanted, free access to the wild. There was too much to see outside to worry about what the cabin had or did not have. Curtains worked if you wanted a mid afternoon nap and if you wanted total privacy a rope on the door handle kept housekeeping out.
As with the rest of the services if you need anything just ask. Extra pillow, it was there within 20 mins. Need fresh towels, leave the old ones on the floor. Simple.
