Review summary

This was our first cruise. I would take another but would take a larger ship and perhaps a longer cruise. A few people in our party felt some seasickness, so bring mess with you so you have options without having to pay to see a doctor on board.

Cabin / Stateroom

HUGE suite. The closest was walk-in. The balcony seated two with a small table and still have room for 2-4 other guests to stand. Lovely.

We didn't actually see much of Juneau itself; our excursion was out of town.

Beautiful city. The GOP-on / hop-off bus was a great way to see everything.
