We chose this cruise for the opportunity to see San Francisco and Vancouver with extra days of travel at both ends of an Alaskan cruise and were not disappointed. The Sun is a beautiful yet small ship with a great crew and staff. As an older ship, it gave us the feel of cruising in the late eighties, early nineties. The entertainment was a 50/50 experience for us. We loved Harry O'Donoghue and Innovation as well as Black Diamonds but were disappointed with the piano music with Meny. Comedy of David Naster was also great! The tribute show to Burt Bacharach had a good selection of his music, but the performers left something to be desired. The venues on the ship were small so if you wanted good seating you needed to get there early. We loved the dining in Seven Seas and Four Seasons, whether for breakfast, lunch or dinner. The Garden Buffet was usually crowded and did not have much variety. We enjoyed the ice cream bar and other quick options available for snacks. What was the greatest for us was the itinerary and the glaciers! The Captain took great care to allow for all passengers to view these with his turning of the ship so all sides had the opportunity for experiencing and photoing these magnificent natural wonders. In Glacier Bay we were presented with excellent commentary, history and other facts from the Glacier Bay National Park rangers who were on board to make this experience the best it could be. I can't say enough about this bucket list adventure....but I can say....with the Whales, Seals, Sea Lions, Otters, Porpoises and the access to native culture this was surely a trip of a lifetime.
Excellent accommodations and our room steward Norman was very personable and accommodated all or special needs.
