This itinerary covers a long distance with few towns along the route. We originated in Anchorage (Seward); in retrospect I think we should have done the reverse by starting in Vancouver. Origination in Anchorage means an overnight stay is almost mandatory to meet the schedule of buses to Seward. The Hilton is an old, crappy hotel with costs of food and lodging in the stratosphere.
Embarkation
5 out of 5
Went smoothly; Two double beds were quickly modified into one king bed
Ship experiences
Food and Dining
4 out of 5
Food generally well prepared; good quality except the beef. Overnight at Anchorage Hilton provided to concierge cabin guests was in a very outdated hotel with cramped public areas; breakfast provided day of embarkation was cold, cold, cold.

Ship tip
Bring a couple of books or an e-reader. Several long passages with little to view or just more of the same pine-covered hills.
