I took my 70 yr old parents on an Alaskan cruise in August from Seattle. The port was very easy to navigate. We had visited Pikes Market in the morning, so I purchased a huge $5 bouquet of fresh flowers for the cabin. Overall we had a pleasant experience. My mom has hip problems & the wheel chair attendants on & off the ship were wonderful! We enjoyed the dining experiences, especially Teppenyaki which we paid for 1 night. My mom & I thoroughly enjoyed our spa passes, which we purchased as soon as we boarded! Being from Chicago, we especially enjoyed all of the Second City performances.

The mini-suite was large enough for 3 adults. The pull-out queen bed was surprisingly comfortable. The bathroom was fairly large for a cruise bathroom. We had a shower in the tub. The balcony fit 3 people easily & we were able to see whales, dolphins & eagles from our balcony.

For excursions, In Juneau we did the Mendenhall Glacier & Salmon hatchery. The Glacier was fabulous, but could have skipped the hatchery. Visited Tracy's Crab Shack, which was delicious! Took the Roberts Tram which was pricey, but saw several bald eagles in their nests from the tram. Read more
