Review summary

We first of wanna start of by saying if their were more stars we would give them. 

 

Boarding the Ship:

We though it was going to take for ever slow lots of people and long lines, we though different. Yes there were lots of people but lines were moving and we never stopped one time going from the buss till we got to our room. 

 

On the Ship:

The one person we saw the most was our room steward "Roger." He was the most friendly and most accommodating person out of the whole ship. If we needed anything get was able to get it of find out the answer for us. Our room was spot clean every time and he was so polite and kind to us that he made our whole trip wonderful. 

 

Excursion Days off ship:

Ketchikan Alaska;

I reccomend the off-road adventure, its not really off-roading but the views and the Alaskan Rain Forest is beautiful and the best way to see it is on the ground.

Juneau Alaska;

By far you half to take the Mendenhall Glacier helicopter tour, It is one of the most beautiful sights you will ever see. Being up on the Glacier and being on such a beautiful piece of nature and see how powerful these things are in mind blowing. You are also able to drink the fresh Glacier water out of a stream running threw it.

Skagway Alaska;

The most relaxing thing and beautiful thing on our Honeymoon trip was the train trip threw White pass into the Yukon. This was a well worth your money trip. it was 2 hours up and 2 hours back. There were hundreds of waterfalls and many beautiful picture spots.

Victoria on Vancouver Island;

The Craigdarroch Castle, scenic tour of Victoria trip was very interesting, on this day pulling into port is late so going to the Butchart Gardens or the Butterfly Gardens is quite hard because it is at night.

 

Days at Sea:

You have one day on the inner passage and that day is quite smooth. The other day at sea is an open passage, We highly recommend you bringing some motion sickness medicine and some anti nausea medicine because the seas get quite rough. 

 

Back to Seattle:

We recommend staying the night in Seattle, one of the fun things to do there was the DUCK tour of Seattle. Your able to sea a lot of Seattle by doing this, we had noticed that the line for the space needle was very long and didn't want to wait. 

 

The Food: 

The food on the trip was easily 5 stars if not more, great food!

 

Overall this trip made our honeymoon very special and we would do this trip again!
