This was THE MOST amazing trip of our lives. Alaska was so much more beautiful than I imagined!
Our captain was Fabian and cruise director Peter. But that is coming from the memory of my 6 year old, lol.
Our favorite thing we did on board was get hot chocolate and relax in the port hole windows of Route 66 as a family. We spotted MULTPILE humpbacks and orca whales from that spot. But multiple cast told us it wasn't that often that guests see as many as we did. So I wouldn't bank on it. Howver, the first at sea day and Tracy arm morning seem like your best bet. We did the most amazing whale watching tour with adventures in Alaska with captain Alan in Juneau. I would HIGHLY recommend them.
We also really enjoyed the movie theatre on board. And my husband and I enjoyed our outlook cafe coffee dates together.
As far as entertainers, we had a hilarious comedian named Marcus Monroe and that's all I can speak of, we didn't go to the other enterainer's shows, we opted for movies instead.
I didn't use the bar service so I am not sure about Bert, I'm sorry!
We stayed two days prior and one day post in Vancouver at the pan pacific. They took our luggage to and from the ship. Such a perk of staying there! Made life so much easier.
We ate a restaurant within walking dustance to the pan pacific called Rogue and it was awesome. Bella Gelato is a must and flyover Canada was my daughter's favorite thing! We also had a great time at the suspension bridge and enjoyed the free shuttle to and from.
Our PAT was 11 and I'm pretty sure we were on the ship by 11:45. Although I wasn't looking at the time so that's just my guesstimate.
went straight to the port adventure desk for our meet and greet tickets and got all meet and greets for the first at sea day.
