Third cruise but first time in Alaska. We selected this cruise for the itinerary. Our group was large and multi-generational (ranging from seniors to toddlers), with a variety of room types.
STATEROOM - Excellent
Our first time splurging on a mini-suite with balcony and we found it worth the price, particularly for sailing in Alaska (spectacular views all day - we saw whales and seals from the balcony!) and for wrangling young children who can't yet sleep in bunk beds without falling out. The room was comfortable and the view from the balcony was amazing. Several family members had purchased interior rooms and ended up spending most of their time in our room. Only caveat was a strong odor from the bathroom that was resolved by keeping the lid down whenever the toilet was not in use.
