Stayed at 4 Points by Sheraton the day before the cruise so we could get a shuttle to the port. We arrived at 8 AM from Anchorage and found a room waiting for us thanks to an email request a week earlier. The folks at 4 Points could not have been nicer - the hotel falls comfortably into the 3-star category.
Transfer to the port was problematic as the transportation company kept asking for our voucher, which RCI had never provided. All we could do was show the reservation confirmation that included the shuttle. We finally arrived. Checking in at the cruise line was strange - the premium guests (suite or platinum/diamond) were at the very end of the line. It went well, the folks were pleasant, etc.
I was looking forward to seeing how this renovated ship would look. It's small, and showing her age in spite of the renovation. Adequate would be a good word. The room was fine, Dolly was magnificent. How she can remember new guests names every three or four days is beyond me.
The closet was way adequate, especially for a four day cruise - lots of hanger, too. The amenities in the room were excellent (love the fruit tray on arrival!). The bathroom is quite large, much like our guest bath in our home. On second thought, it might be larger than our in-suite in our master bedroom. Nice.
The main sleeping area provided balcony access with the curtains closed - a nice touch, since Pop was sleeping on the fold-out bed.
