We'll I think the weather help on this cruise, sunny on most days and hardly a drop of rain.
We had a 9:30 am from Ord direct to ANC that landed at 1:30 a little wait for the shuttle and a 1.5 hr ride we were on and in our room by 5pm. Getting on the the ship was pretty quick.
The ship was very clean and spotless and room C210 had a nice oversized balcony. There is plenty of hangers and closet space. Too many bars to choose from, but we really enjoyed drinking bloody Mary's in Skywalkers. Every once in awhile we go up a deck to take a look at the Glaciers from there. The food was very good in the main dining room, the buffet was not very enjoyable. We only at there twice for breakfast because either we over slept or had to eat very early to get off the ship. As a Chicago pizza snob the pizza served is too greasy and the cheese a low grade mozzarella. Burgers and hot dogs served were ok. My only complaints.
Good oversized balcony. A little far from the main dining rooms, but a very nice quite room
