Alaska/Coral: A brief review

[hop2it]

No great insight or major complaints here, just a few FWIW observations:

-- The Vancouver to Anchorage itinerary and scenery are wonderful, as most here have likely already experienced.

-- Most of the crew were invariably courteous and helpful.

-- Alaska Cruise Transportation (Big Bus) is a great option for those seeking independent transfer from Whittier.

-- The mattress is our balcony cabin was way too soft and in need of replacement.

-- Quality of dining room food preparation was inconsistent, and some servings (including lobster tail) were seriously undercooked.

-- Selection of wines by the glass was far too limited, and even some of those on the menu were not available. We enjoy most any wine, so this was not a serious problem, just a disappointment, especially since we had the Sip 'n' Sail package.

I believe the OP covered that in the first bullet.:D

Who was the Cruise Director on this trip? Was there a BOGO? What is your opinion of the condition of Coral Princess?

Thanks for the report.

So getting a decent selection of wine by the glass was way too hard.

 

The bed was way too soft.

 

But the cruise was just right.

Yep, that sums it up fine. The condition of the Coral seemed just fine as well.
