This was our 50th Wedding Anniversary cruise. This was our 3rd cruise to Alaska and it was the best. The weather was just great. Our first port was Juneau and again the weather was nice. No rain and no coats required for us. The shopping is great and the time in port was enough. Skagway was next. We did a tour of the city and a stage play called the Days of 98 about Soapy Smith. Again the weather was great and no coats for us. Then on to Glacier Bay and the beauty of the Margerie Glacier. The captain also sailed into the John Hopkins arm and we were able to see three more beautiful glaciers. Then we were on to Ketchikan where is is always raining. Well not this time. It was overcast but not a drop of rain and no need of a coat. From there we headed for Victoria, Canada. We only got off the ship and walk to the customs station and then back to the ship. After our visit to Victoria we headed for home. San Francisco here we come and them on to home. We had a great time. Our accommodations were great. We had a mini suite and it was great. Lots of room to move around. We had a couch and a coffee table as well as a chair. It was very clean and the room steward was great. We had room service every morning and that was great. Our dining room table and service were great. Alan and Maribel our waiters were great and the food was outstanding. Crab, Lobster, Steaks, along with all the other goodies, oh my. The entertainment was outstanding and the comedian Gary DeLena was so funny. His act was clean and very funny.

We had the easiest embarkation and disembarkation that we ever had. The new cruise terminal is a great improvement over the old one. So easy to drop off passengers and pick them up. This is so far the best cruise that we have taken. Would do it again.

Very clean and enough room to move around. We had a couch and coffee table. The table comes in handy for room service and playing cards.
