This was my 4th cruise, but 1st ot Alaska and my husbands first cruise. We arrived in Seattle and stayed at the Olympic Fairmont. Nice! We arrived at the ship at 11 am and were at the bar at the back of the ship by 11:30 having a drink! After that we checked out the buffet for lunch and were in our room on the Concierge deck nine by 1:30. We stayed in a room on the very back of the boot. Amazing, will do that every time. Went to bed every night with the door wide open listening to the sounds of the water.

Dining room was good and sat next to a lovely couple from England, who were a lot older than us but were very interesting and fun!

First stop was Ketchikan, it was raining but didn't stop us from walking around. Later on the boat we checked out the hot tub and stayed there until the boat was going to leave. Saw the illfated Celebrity Millenium just sitting out in the water about an hour or so from Ketchikan. Figured something was wrong because they weren't moving. Read more
