Review summary

First time visiting Seattle and Alaska and we could not be more pleased. My wife and I really had some wonderful experiences zip lining in Ketchikan, whale watching in Juneau and exploring Skagway and the history of the gold rush. It was a trip of a lifetime.

I was worried about the "obstructed view." But we were very pleased and didn't mind the obstruction at all. It's 50/50 of ocean view compared to obstructed.

We went whale watching, toured the Alaskan Brewing Company, and had dinner at the Twisted fish. By far the best day we had on the trip.

Very short only 4 hours in port. Doesn't allow for time to really explore.

We loved Seattle and Alaska, and have done several Caribean cruises, but Alaska is our favorite hands down!! Going back in September 2018 for our 3rd time...

Understandable. A few decades ago for me but I still consider Alaska one of my top five vacations. Awesome beauty ( and you did the cruise on a terrific ship too).
