Cruise Review: Spirit of Discovery - Alaska

Alaska's Whales & Wilderness - July 2008

Linda,

We had a wonderful time on our cruise. I hope you received the post card we sent you from the ship when we arrived in Sitka. We followed your advice and went to Lane 7 for our bizarre flavored milkshake. I am embarrassed to say I had strawberry. We met lovely people on our ship and they came along with us, the list of flavors was fun and everyone enjoyed the "greasy joint" after all our wonderful meals on the ship.

By the way, we were the only ones who had information of what to do and see in Sitka. Others who booked through Cruise West and other travel agents kept asking us where we found our information. We made you famous and very much appreciated all your efforts.

The ship, the crew, the wildlife, the sea life all exceeded our expectations. Beyond that, the beauty of Alaska we found breathtaking. I am so sorry we waited 62 years to visit and we plan to come back. We made one of those deposits on the ship that gives us a good discount for our next cruise. We are thinking the Bering Sea for 2009, tell us how that compares to our Whales and Wilderness.

Thank you again, I have your cards and have passed them around my office. Everyone is going to be so jealous when they see our photos (all 10,000 of them).
