Looking forward to your updates. I'm on the May 26th sailing with a group of friends, we are also in Aqua Class cabins. This will be my 7th Alaska cruise, so yeah, we're kind of addicted to it!
I was surprised that it sails from Smith Cove, glad I noted that or I might have otherwise wound up at the downtown pier for sailaway -- OOPS!
Do you have any excursions planned?
I'll be interested to know how crowded the Persion Garden spa gets. That was one of the lures for the AQ cabin.
Happy Sailing!
