We chose this cruise because we had done the round trip out of Seattle last year. This cruise was a one way which ended in Seward, AK. Precruise we stayed at the Pan Pacific. It was a little pricey but we were pleasantly surprised to find that it was connected to the cruise port and the hotel took care of our luggage the day of embarkation. Our hotel room overlooked the port. The room was exquisite.

Our cruise in Alaska was exceptional. We chose a whale watching excursion in Juneau and were NOT disappointed. We had the experience of a lifetime when an adult whale breached about 30 times. The excursion employees were shocked that this one whale because it breached over and over again. The glaciers in Glacier National Park were beautiful but the Hubbard Glacier was breathtaking. We plan on taking this same cruise again next year. We had a wonderful time.
