Review summary

Our weather was perfect for most of the cruise. It was chilly in Glacier Bay, but not like sub zero temps. It was partly sunny. Captain of the Noordam slowed down and gave us plenty of time to enjoy the glaciers. Truly a memorable experience! Absolutely beautiful...

Cabin / Stateroom

4 out of 5

Cabin was clean and comfortable. We didnt spend much time on the tv, but one night we had a dvd ordered to watch on the dvd player that was in the room. The dvd player wouldnt work. Other than that, the room was very nice.

Ports of call

Vancouver (Canada Place), British Columbia

The pier was fine, and everything about embarking the ship was fine. The city of Vancouver tho, was extremely "busy". What i mean by that, (and by the way, we were there on a Sat afternoon/evening, embarking on Sun) was that traffic and people were ALL OVER THE PLACE! Just crazy busy and crowded.
