Sail Date: Jun 2017
Cabin: Veranda Suite

The ship is beautiful, perfectly maintained. The crew waits on you hand and foot. Nothing is ever crowded, nor do you have to wait for anything.

We are big foodies, however, and therefore suffered disappointment. The menu descriptions were fabulous, the presentation was gorgeous. The only thing missing was taste. We did not hear others complain, so maybe we're just spoiled,

We took advantage of two ship-arranged tours and did the rest on our own: 1) Mendenhall Glacier can be done with a bus from Juneau. Should have been our choice as we didn't need so much time there. It's well worth seeing. MT. Robert's Tram was crowded, lovely view, but not necessary. 2) The steam train into the Klondike region in Skagway was fun and interesting, with some beautiful views. I would recommend taking the bus one way as the photo ops were better. My husband liked this tour more than I did.

Cabin Review

Veranda Suite

Cabin V1

Going from Vancouver to Seward, we had a fabulous view. Most nights, despite the lack of darkness, we kept the drapes open to view the gorgeous scenery. Our butler and cabin attendant were fabulous and took care of all our needs.
