Review summary

Only disappointment was the Observation deck. The views were amazing. It was great except you rarely could get a seat. People camping out. Families hoarding areas all day. People sleeping. we get it, people what to relax. It was a observation area not a room! The morning of Glacier bay, it was packed by 7 am, chairs were reserved but no one in them. Their loss, the views were much better from outside.
