The Bluegrass music oriented cruise was a fantastic experience. The entertainment, whether the bluegrass planned or ship's entertainment, was worth experiencing. The food, as usual, was beyond description. Enjoyed the fine service, sharing with the various crew members and the fine dining atmosphere. The art auction was a new kind of experience. Won a free choice of art through their raffle ticket entries. Only slight criticism of the cruise was the "bottle neck" created in the hallway near the shops. Too many items on too wide of tables. Feel this could be corrected by using narrower tables. Explored the ship from top to bottom, stem to stern and received exercise by using the stairs. The windowed elevators were quite the adventure - this worked as long as you had no "height" challenge! The bluegrass entertainment met all our expectations. The "jam" sessions offered also kept my husband happy. He wore his fingers out playing his instruments and he had wonderful smiles on his face as he played with many talented musicians.
Great location for those who don't want to "rock 'n roll" because of unusual weather! Felt little, excessive movement because of cabin location. Hearing the lapping of water was unexpected but soothing.
Went ashore to experience the shops at the local mall area. Enjoyed the chance to have my photo taken with the McCaw birds located in the lower shopping area.
