We arrived at departure pier at about noon. We were on the ship at 12:50. We went to our room right after a quick lunch at the Windjammer and it was ready with our suitcases outside the room.
A very strong odor of sewage was evident at the end of our hallway, close to the centrum elevators. This continued throughout the cruise. Some days were better than others.
Where was the sail away party???? A couple employees for RCL put on a CD with some music and that was it. No dancing, no band, no nothing. My wife looks forward to this event and it did not happen. We brought four other people on the cruise with us and we all sat there waiting for the sail away party and nothing materialized. My wife had been telling them how much fun this was. I cannot believe that this saves money by not having a sail away party or did RCL decide that Alaska cruises don't get this event????
