First, the date I chose was purposeful and intentional! It rains 98% of the time. May is the least rainy time if the whole year. It did not rain a single time, at any of our stops and the sun came out! I figured, if I'm going to Alaska; I want to see snow and it all melts in the summer months... So May it was! We experienced sun, snow, green spring/ early summer colors and seriously, it was AMAZING!!!!! At every single stop the locals kept saying "You picked a good day. No rain today, and it rains every day here".
The ship itself is well maintained. I only encountered ONE rude crew member and it was an American crew member in the gift shop. Everyone else was superb and helpful and kind.
Our first stop was Juneau. We went whale watching. The crew on the boat were knowledgeable and friendly and very helpful! We saw humpback whales (a mom and baby) that breeched several times. We also saw eagles and and see lions and seals!
Cabin Review
Balcony
Cabin 8C
We got an extended aft balcony. For me this is THE ONLY WAY to do Alaska!!! It made a HUGE difference. We were the floor below the dining area so it was way way to get to breakfast, etc. It's mostly quiet except for the ocean sounds which was lovely 100% of the time. We did notice a small vibration at times from the engine but it wasn't annoying or upsetting in the least and in fact I felt that vibration in many places on the ship. Our cabin steward came rtwce a day and we loved him. FYI if you do pre paid tips they only give your cabin steward about $45 so be cool and leave them extra. They definitely earn it!!!
