Evening greeting in our cabin

Many people told us about cruising in Alaska. We have cruised on RCI and liked the service and boats. This was our first time on The Exployer of the Seas. A medium size ship with a decent amount of amenities. We left Seattle and headed to Juneau then on to Skagway then into the glacirer fjords then into Victoria and then back to Seattle. 7 nights total. We had priority boarding with our Jr. Suite 9606. That went quick, well and easy. We had a really good cabin attendant and he made sure we were well taken care of.

We packed for a chilly cruise no we were glad we did. It was chilly (cold to many) and somewhat wet. This caused many people to congregate inside and not by the pools and outside decks. A little crowded to say the least.

At Juneau, we had a friend take us fishing so we did not take an excursion. We did hear many comments on how some were great no a few canceled due to weather. The Whale watching got many positive comments.
