Solstice Tracy Fjord June 29 Cruise

[tlk1013]

This was an awesome cruise! The crew, ship, itinerary and weather were perfect. Our Captain Tasos was very impressive; his navigational skills into Daws Glacier were unbelievable. He spun the ship in a 360° view for all of us to enjoy. We were very lucky to have Brent Nixon, Marine Biologist, and Miss Amanda, Alaska historian, on the ship as special speakers. In Ketchikan, we enjoyed the Duck Tour with Captain Rosaire and Jacob and all the eagles we saw. It was very interesting and they both were very entertaining. Juneau was very exciting with the whale watching tour. We saw lots of whales!! In Skagway, we did the White Pass train; words cannot describe the breathtaking scenery. In Victoria, we took a scenic bus tour. Our guide made the trip very interesting. The city is fascinating and the flowers are gorgeous. Nicola was the casino host and what a great job she did! All her events were well organized and lots of fun. Paulina was our Captain Club Hostess...such a bubbly personality and desire to make your cruise extraordinary! She invited us to view the Daws Glacier from the heliport...she gave us a lifetime memory. We also had an exceptional cabin steward: Roman in 1602. What an example of how things should be done! We look forward to seeing him again on the Edge in January. We really had exceptional weather and were very fortunate. WiFi was good, food was excellent...especially in Blu. Embarkation and disembarkation were flawless. My only caution would be to check your bill for the premium liqour package; we both had premium but were charged several times for drink upgrades. This was just inconvenient because we had to go to Guest Services to have the charges quickly reversed. Since this is the ONLY negative I could remember, I believe you can see that this was one of the best cruises EVER! :cool:
