Additional details
There were six of us. My husband and I did Seward to Vancouver on the Crown, my sons first cruise, my moms second to Alaska (her first was on NCL) and sister and her husbands first cruise.
EMBARKATION: Got to Pier 91 around 2 p.m., it was farely organized but the line was pretty long so we got on ship just before 3 p.m. As soon as my sister saw the lovely Atrium she said "I'm gonna enjoy this!"
CABIN: Although I tried to get the Starboard side there was only one so we took the Portside and had cabins C 600, 602 and 604. The attendant removed the balcony barriers so we could visit each other easily which worked out great. We all liked our cabins and found the balconies to be a great size compared to the A and B deck which were half the size. Plus our balcony was half covered so it was nice the we could sit out there without the upper decks being able to see us. I had requested egg crate pads for all rooms but none had them so I requested one from the attendant who placed one there that evening. No one else minded sleeping on the very firm beds. I have to admit that the shower stall was really tiny! I am only 110 pounds but found it difficult to manuever without getting the floor outside the shower wet. There was plenty of shelf and closet space for all our things and the safe was put to good use as well.
Cabin Review
Balcony
We liked the location because there was a laundry room just a few doors down. It was always quiet which was great since I am a very light sleeper. The balcony was large enough for four, we might have been able to slip another chair in there if we wanted to. And half the balcony was covered so our upstairs neighbors could not look down on us if we sat near the cabin doors. Whereas the B deck balconies were half the size and the D deck balconies were fully exposed.
