I would have to call this trip a "once in a lifetime" type of trip even though I know I will be back. Everyone should see Alaska if they can at least once. The glaciers are melting rapidly, so if you want to see them, better hurry!

Cabin / Stateroom
5 out of 5
The cabin was larger than we expected and the balcony was perfect. We were on level 7 and the people on level 6 did not like their balconies due to obstructions so go 7 or higher. Our attendant Raj kept the place in tip top shape...
Ship tip
As stated above, if getting a balcony, go level 7 or higher due to obstructions. Also, not sure I would pay for a drink package again. Unless you drink more that a dozen drinks every single day...
This was a nice city but was my least favorite since it is a larger city being the capital of Alaska. It is where all the glaciers are though and we did take a helicopter and landed on one which was truly spectacular...one of the trip highlights
Another smaller town that was great for hiking. We took the White Pass train into BC, Canada which was awe-inspiring with it's majestic views along the way. Worth every penny
Truly a one of a kind city but was unfortunate that the stop was too short to really do much so I guess we'll have to return sometime to really see it all...
