WOW ... that's the best short description for our feeling about our cruise on the lovely Amsterdam on the Alaska Explorer Cruise. We knew this was not the Inside Passage but felt the trade off to be able to round trip from Seattle was well worth it. And we loved the sea days.
This was a family Anniversary and Birthday trip, hopefully the first of many, ages from 54 to 4 1/2. Not one of us was disappointed, our expectations were more than met.
The Ship - Beautiful, elegant, spotless... We took a galley tour and it was amazing how they can do so much for so many people and keep everything so clean.
