Before The Cruise/Day 1 Seattle We spent a day in seattle and it was amazing. The Space Needle and Pike Place Market were among the things that we visited. We slept one-night in the Red Lion Hotel. We got to the pier around 11:30, and we waited 20 minutes to get our information processed before we boarded. From there everything was smooth for the day. Our cabin, 7051 was nice for the money.Our luggage came very earlyand we were happy. We were completely unpacked by the muster drill. Dinner in the Trellis was very nice, it gave the week a start with a kick. My sisters and I all attended the youth program and we were impress by how the counselors cared about each child.

Day 2 At Sea The day of excitement!!!!!! Everything was perfect each meal my family ate was perfect, and since it was formal night in the dining room we got palette cleansing sorbet, which was awesome. Today no one saw one another as we were all over the ship. Again the Trellis was superior.

Day 3 Sitka Despite waiting for 50 minutes for a tender we had a great day. God weather, good everything. Advice: Wait til around 1:30 to go ashore, Sitka is small and you can do everything in about 90-120 minutes. Today we had afternoon snacks in the Cova Cafe Milano. F.Y.I snacks from 3-5 in Cova Cafe Milano are called Taste of Europe Pastries, eat the snacks daily. They are really nice. The Trellis was a bit disappointing, but the desert saved the meal. Day 4 Hubbard Glacier Brunch day in the Trellis. It was very cool, with sculptures and a lot of fun!! The glacier was cool, but dress warmly to watch the ice melt!! haha. If your cruise has polar bear plunge it is worth it, and you're in the Cruise in REview DVD if you do it. The Trellis better than the night before. Read more
