  1. Is Inside #9010 on the Millennium a quiet cabin?

     

    The fitness center and spa club seem to be above it, although I can't tell for sure from the deck plans if they are directly above.

     

    Any insight into the quietness or general location of this cabin welcome!

  2. We returned two weeks ago from 14 days in Alaska. By stalking and asking questions on this board, I received enough helpful advice to plan the whole trip independently, including shore excursions. Our trip was wonderful, and we wouldn't do anything differently. We first did a 7-day Northbound cruise on Island Princess, then another 7 days on land in Seward and Denali.

     

    One of the best pieces of advice I received on this board was to go from Whittier (where the ship docked) to Seward via taxi. That saved us so much time, and was well worth the cost. You don't need a car in Seward, as there is a free shuttle that loops around the town. We were 2 nights & 3 full days in Seward. The afternoon/evening of the 3rd day, we took the train to Anchorage and the next day headed to Denali in a rental car. We spent 4 nights and 3 days in Denali before driving back to Anchorage. I have never done a Cruisetour, so I can't compare it with independent touring. However, I think that in general you get more bang for the buck by going independent.

     

    I'm still in catch-up mode from the trip, as we've had company the past 2 weekends, but I plan to write a review of the trip before too long. In the meantime, I'd be happy to answer any questions.

     

    Have fun planning--you'll love Alaska, no matter what. As someone else has said, you'll fall in love!
