Chose this cruise for destination and port. Wanted a smaller ship than the newer Bliss, which left a day earlier from same port. It was our 11th cruise but first to Alaska.
About one month before our cruise date I was looking at the web site and saw that a forward facing suite was available for a very small increase. I had booked a mini-suite. Called and booked into the suite. I believe it was 9206. The cabin was lovely and had everything we could want and need. Lots of space and a great bathroom with a big tub.
Embarkation was a dream!! We were escorted to a very nice lounge where we were checked in. There was a great selection of breakfast items and beverages. We waited a very short time and our concierge, Anoop, came in to great us and introduce himself. He remembered our names from that point on! He always popped into whatever restaurant we were dining in to check on us. Shortly after that, other ship crew came to escort us to lunch in a private restaurant. We would be able to have breakfast and lunch daily here if we wished. They announced our suite ready and upon arrival we were greeted by our butler, LingLing. She was there to see to our needs. The only thing we requested was breakfast in our suite daily. It was amazing.....she served us on linen and china!!!! Our cabin steward was Milli and took great care of our suite. It was such an incredible experience, as we had never had a suite before!!!
awesome!!!!! loved the large closets and dressing area!!!
This was our favorite port. We cabbed to the water front and dined in an incredible restaurant!
