Review summary

lovely time had by all. weather was wet but sun came out each day. one day was 30+ mph winds in scagway that reminded you of what it must have been like with -30 degrees to boot! (my sunglasses even blew off!) seafood galore from port to port. as usual tanzanite, etc. in every port as well. took the Alaskan Amber brewery tour just for fun and turned out to be the best time because of the guide. just a slow relaxing time enjoyed by both of us. enjoy!

broken drawer but fixed like new, no heat for 15 hours with poor communication by staff, turns out the thermostat fell apart in pieces after removal from wall. it was NOT just an engineering tweek from down below. he resealed stripping around outside door, made adjustments inside and outside the cabin to finally get heat a day later. was given two airline blankets and cheap chile wine after 1 am in the morning screaming to get something done after 15 hours of freezing in our balcony ($$$$) room. was told its an old BOAT!

Ship tip

only talk to top staff, not people behind the desk. they will lie to your face and quite frankly don't understand how physics works. others were wonderful in what they do.
