Review summary
This is what I call a vacation. Once we got on the ship we just had to decide what things we wanted to do, or just relax in the room. Beds very comfortable. Loved having the balcony, could leave the door open and listen to the ocean and view wildlife and awesome scenery in Alaska. Our trip was unseasonably warm for Alaska but actually beautiful weather. Fun things to do on the ship, the staff was all super nice. Our cabin steward was great and very helpful. Food was great. We didn't get a drink package as we don't drink THAT much so only water or tea/lemonade with lunch and supper and juice and milk with breakfast, regular coffee at all meals but if you want soda or alcohol you would have to pay. We didn't miss it much. We bought a few drinks and a bottle of wine one night and still didn't spend as much as a drink plan would have cost. If you love soda then you may want to purchase a soft drink package as they give you cans. You can bring on water but only one bottle of wine, the rest they charge you for so no point but that didn't really affect us. We saw whales and sea lions off and on the ship, eagles of course. We didn't see any bears, but we didn't really take any excursions to see bears. I wish the stays in the ports were longer, like from dawn to dusk to get to see more. Getting off and on went smoothly. Shows were good, voice of the ocean fun as well as dance your face off, we had some brave passengers participate in that and it was hilarious and great fun to watch. Clubs open with various types of music. The walker black duo actually was very good and they took requests and you could dance. The skywalkers lounge open late and had a DJ and they had singers in the piazza often. The naturalist on board very knowledgeable and experienced in all things about Alaska Wildlife. I liked the pup lunch for a quit bit at lunch a couple of days and something different. Just great fun all around. Made a few new friends.Embarkation
