Pros: the ship was just the right size and the activities were great - the shore excursions were a terrific mix and we really enjoyed being waited on all the time.

Cons: The 8 hours spent (needlessly) in the Gulf of Alaska in 45mph winds. Very rocky - lots of elderly people on the ship having a hard time. No announcement from the bridge as to why we were out there.
