Best viewing on Star for Inside Passage?

[klh-or]

We'll be in an inside cabin so will need to find a good place from which to view the scenery while cruising. Any suggestions? We'll have 2 teenagers with us so a bar location isn't an option. Thanks!

The Star does not always go through the inside passage, sometimes it goes outside of Vancouver Island. (I know we did last year on the Star)

 

If they do take the Inside passage, you are talking many hours of travel so you can go to different places to see it.

 

As far as a bar is concerned, the only restrictions on kids in the bars is in the evening. During the day, they can go in there. (can't order alcohol, but can order soda.) The Spinnaker Lounge on Deck 12 forward is a wonderful place to watch the world go by! (and it is enclosed). Other nice areas are on Deck 13 forward. (open area) and the Kids Pool area on the back of Deck 12.

 

It is Glacier Bay that is only a short period and that is when you want to station yourself on Deck 13 or in Spinnaker! Glacier Bay is incredible.

I believe what I meant to ask was about Glacier Bay, so thanks for reading my mind! I'm guessing there is smoking in the Spinnaker Lounge?

Although I believe Spinnaker, like all the bars are smoking areas, I have never noticed a "smoky" smell in there. My mom is VERY sensitive to smoke and she has never had a problem in Spinnaker on the Dawn or Star.

 

The restaurants are smoke free however.
