  1. Went on the Dawn for a new year eve cruise. Like to use the weight room while at sea and then a great steam room visit. This is impossible on the Dawn unless you pay the spa price. Weight room is open to all but not the steam room. May not be important to all but a few may enjoy a steam room visit without paying for it like most cruise ships.

  2. We took the same cruise June 2016. Our land started in Fairbanks. Nice town. Do not recommend the salmon bake pushed by most lines. Just a large overrated buffet. Pick a Restaurant downtown and enjoy a served good meal. Train trip to Denali is great. Lodging at Denali is average at best. Restaurant at the lodging is over priced and average at best. Take the shuttle downtown to your choice of good places to eat. Bus ride to Seward is long with a short stopover in Anchorage. Embarkation was easy at the port. On board the Martini bar is great. All excursions seem to be enjoyable. Recommend the crab feast and sea plane ride. Hope this helps.

  3. Looking for any information about the this 3 day 2 night excursion from Vietnam to Bangkok. We are booked on the 29 October cruise from Hong Kong to Singapore. In particular the last day trip from Siem Reap. What time do we get to the boat in Bangkok. Any tips or advice would be appreciated.

  4. We did the land tour in June. Too much time on the buses. Not one of our better tours. Seemed that other cruise buses had priority and we were always toward the end of the bus que. Salmon feast in Fairbanks is just a buffet that is not very good. Spend your time in a restaurant in Fairbanks. Train ride from Fairbanks to Denali Park was great. Hope this helps someone.

  5. For the cruise part I think we paid about $7,000 for Aqua class. Well worth this price as the food in Blu is great. If you Stay in Fairbanks I would not recommend the Salmon Bake. Find a local restaurant. We went to the Salmon Bake and it is a crowded buffet. Some of our friends went local and really enjoyed. The hotel in Fairbanks is average at best. Clean. Agree with the above ratings about Denal Village. Take the shuttle to town. The Overview Restaurant was excellent. The Prospecters Bar is also great with good bar food.

  6. We only stopped for lunch. Not enough time to really explore. There is one store across the street and around the corner from where you get off the bus that sells Alaska Art (carved antler, walrus bone, Alaska ivory, etc.). It is on a side street and downstairs. Don't remember the name but great buys. Beats the prices of any of the port shops by a great amount.
