Serenade of the Seas Review

Additional details
Our trip to Alaska on Serenade of the Seas was a very wonderful experience. Here is an overview of the trip:
Embarkation- Three groups of two flew into Vancouver from Edmonton, Calgary & Toronto the day of departure. We took a limo ($110 with tip-cheaper than two cabs) to the pier, arriving just before 11 AM. We were at the front of the check in line and made it through check in and US customs and were the first on the ship by about 11:40 and dining in the Windjammer by noon.
We had great weather by comparative standards for Alaska. The two sea days travelling up and down the coast were cloudy with fog and cool, but we had lots to do on the ship that it didn't matter. The first two days in Alaska at Icy Strait and Tracy Arm fjord were beautiful with sunny skies all day and temps about mid 70's. Skagway and Juneau were cloudy with temps in the mid 60's, but with no rain.
Cabin Review
Cabins 7132, 7134 & 7136...were smaller than we are used to on Voyager and Freedom class ships, but we didn't spend lots of time there. The balconies are right atop the life boats so there is a covering on them that limits the views directly below if needed. This may have been an inconvinience were it raining and we had to watch the scenery from the cabin, but fortunately it was good weather and not a problem.
