Our group of four ranged in ages from 40-65 and had both seasoned and newbie cruisers. We all had a fantastic time on the Spirit and are sad to see her travel south in the fall! Embarkation and debarkation in Seattle were painless.

We chose "Your Time Dining" and found it worked great for us! Only once did we have to wait about 10 minutes for a dinner table - but that's less than the local steakhouse and we were waiting in the piano bar with Alaska floating by so who's complaining? Our dinners were delicious and the wait staff always friendly. Our other meals we ate on the Lido deck - YUM! If you can't find something there that suits you, I just don't know what would!!!

We loved taking our coffee out to the Serenity (21 and over) deck where it was nice and quiet most days. The new "clam shells" and hammocks are fabulous! Even in Alaska we had warm and sunny days we could enjoy them. Being on the aft deck also meant less wind - so bonus!

Our obstructed view meant we looked mostly at lifeboat #5, but we could see daylight, breath fresh air, and see the current weather without leaving the room.

Bathroom was adequate size and had a clothes drying line. We had three closets. Two for hanging and one with shelves. We had four small drawers and a small shallow cabinet and a room safe. The minibar fridge remained locked. There were two mirrored areas in the cabin but only one outlet for charging electronics.
