I was pleasantly surprised with the luxury on the ship and the cruise line overall. The cabins are very generous, full-sized bathroom and shower, gourmet food and appetizers. The all-American staff is amazing. Daily happy-hour and appetizers was a great way to meet fellow shipmates and make new friends. The dining room is well-appointed and spacious. Wine was offered at both lunch and dinner. The food was amazing and beautifully presented. Items that were not on the menu could be requested and everything was done to meet expectations. Evening reviews of the area, Snake and Columbia Rivers, and historical information on Lewis and Clark and their expeditions to Astoria, Oregon, were very informative and interesting. The service was excellent and the entire all-American staff appeared to be enjoying their multi-tasking jobs. The bus transports used for excursions were the same throughout the cruise. They followed us so we had the same buses and drivers, making it very nice to be familiar with them.
