Review summary

I can’t think of a better destination to take a cruise. 1-1/2 day at sea was longest time sailing, which I think is great as a first time cruiser. Also, having land in view for lot of the trip was nice to view. We only saw a few seals, some eagles and a couple river otters. I was hoping to see more wildlife.

Embarkation

Great choices at all the places, even had surf and turf one night. Fantastic. They went above and beyond for my wife’s gluten allergy. She preordered day before for each night.

A little small and we did get someone’s cigarette smoke creep into our window from somewhere. On the good side, bed was very comfy and the bathroom was nice size with hot water available all the time

We did the Mendenhall glacier and had plenty of time to walk to the falls even though tour said there was not time, our driver said we could. We had half hour to spare. It was awesome too! So glad our driver gave us confidence to do it.

Disembarkation

No problems and they even served breakfast that morning. I was pleasantly surprised as the buffet was excellent. We also had a great guy take our luggage to the taxi stand. I tipped him well as we had some heavy stuff and we bypassed long line to grab a cab
