I really enjoyed Our 2nd Cruise to Alaska! Canceled trip due to Covid. I'm glad to be back Cruising! We took home Kits inboard & tested Negative! Yay! Makes it so much nicer when you don't come home sick!
It's been 12 years since we visited Alaska..I think I can squeeze another in!

Food was Good! I'm surprised Escargot was not on Main menu. We did go the Brazilian Restaurant Moderno which was really Good. O' shannessy was a comfortable pub like Restaurant to dune as well. We also ordered Room service for Breakfast on Early excursions ( $9.95)
I'm a Coffee lover and I do Not Like Starbucks ( Ugh)

Entertainment

Didn't care fir the Comedian at all. The singing Trio was Basic. We are spoiled after Enjoying the Wonderful Music in the Smooth Jazz & Dave Koz Cruises! You just Can't Beat it! I don't think we heard Any music in Dining Rooms or Commkn areas.

We came into Vancouver 2 days before the cruise. We stayed at the Fantastic Pan Pacific Vancouver Hotel! I'm telling you..THIS IS THE PLACE TO STAY! You are right at the Ship Terminal and Cananda place! The Bell staff Takes your Luggage to the Ship Terminal!! Great staff & Restaurant.
The day before we went on a Food/ Culture tour of Chinatown! Later in the evening we saw a Play " Come From Away"( Loved it ,my 3rd time seeing it)@ the Elizabeth Theater. Nice time. Yes, Chinatown was riddled with Homeless & blatant druggie. But we are from LA ..seen it before
Fun time on the Duck Boat tour! Nice tour of city with Fun Guides. And then our Bus turns into a boat and in the water we go! Fun! Afterwards we walked around the city & had lunch at Alaskan Crab house! Very Good!
Tiny Town! No Hospital, Doctor, Dentist, nor Vet! 1 school K -12! 1 Fast food..take a Guess which one!! Lol!
Folk that live in these ports Really depend in the Cruise industry! After the season back to the Lower 48!
We had a Nice Guide on the Streetcar tour! Of course afterwards shopping and Food! Fry Bread & Coffee!
Tour of the day Mendenhall Glacier! Big difference in weather Brrr!
Very Nice & informative Guide! Nice Centwr with Different Hiking Level trails. Toured the city and had time to walk around to shop & Eat! Found a Great coffee shop The Grind Mmm! Just what I needed on a Chilly day! Oh, and the Scrumptious Brownie! Then lunch..Seafood again!! Yay!
We had an Early ( 6AM) disembark. We took the train( 4hrs) from Seward to Anchorage Airport ( our flight to LA was 2pm) Great way to end our trip! Highly recommend! We did have to wait a bit for our luggage to be place in room ( 30- 45 min) but we had plenty of time still
