Review summary

Two weeks was too long and we could have done without seeing Anchorage, Homer & Kodiak. And our room, although not considered an obstructed view, it was obstructed and did not have a great view at all. ABSOLUTELY NOT WORTH THE ADDITIONAL MONEY PAID.

Sadly the Captain could not get us to dock due to high winds. Highly disappointed because Victoria looked so pretty and we were looking forward to enjoying a day to explore and couldn't.
