This was the 13th cruise for my husband and I. We have cruised on Carnival, Norwegian, Royal Caribbean, Princess and Holland America. I cruises include the western Caribbean, southern Caribbean, Hawaii and Alaska. This was our third Alaska cruise. My two other Alaska cruises were in May/June. I love the longer daylight days of early summer. On the Alaska Pearl cruise we covered 1583 miles in 7 days.
My husband and I, and two friends booked cabins with an obstructed ocean view guarantee. I did not get a bump up in category and was assigned cabin 8529. We had a big window that was partially obstructed but we still had a great view. My friends got a two category bump up and were assigned a cabin with a port hole on deck 4 in the front of the ship. I was glad I did not get a bump up to that cabin. My room was relatively quiet. It was close to the Crystal Atrium so we heard the solo act Tino until 10:00 pm.
