alcpa1 Posted May 18, 2008 #2 Share Posted May 18, 2008 We've been on the Serenade and are booked on her again later this year. We sailed her sister Radiance to Alaska. We have also sailed to Alaska on the Celebrity Summit and had a starboard cabin, and believe me there was no comparison. Aft is best. The best balcony cabins for Hubbard Glacier and the Inside Passage are actually aft cabins, particularly on decks 9 or 10. If you have a port or starboard cabin you will want to be out on the pool deck or in the lounge on 13 or even in the fitness center on 12 to capture the glacier. We were in a friends port cabin for part of the passage and could not believe how much better we could see whales and shore side birds and animals cruising through the coastal areas and islands from our aft cabin. Unless you can snag an aft any balcony will do. The higher deck the better. Have a wonderful cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
