I cannot find anywhere else to post this...I really wish Cruise Critic/Trip Advisor would list the Allen Marine line - Alaskan Dream Cruises.

My husband & I sailed on 25 Aug 2012 out of Sitka. There were 44 passengers on board. We had an absolutely wondreful time, the boat is a little "old" but they are spending the winter finishing her update. The crew is fantastic; they are all "local", most have advanced degrees and they are more than happy to share their love of Alaska.

Captain Stu would stop for sea life & even stayed at the glacier when it finally decided to calf (we saw a "big boat" come & go while we were cruising to the glacier).

The food was very good & there was always a choice; the pastry was fantastic & we finally met Sunshine.

I am intolerant to various foods - the chef (I'm bad with names) & Heather (our server) made sure to tell me the ingredients & would offer to cook something else if necessary.

My only regret was the queen bed; but I'm the one who insisted on it when I booked the cruise. Remember it is an older ship & they are still remodeling it, but the bed was surrounded on 3 sides & my husband & I had to climb over each other to get in & out...at our age that's frequent.

I would definitely book Alaskan Dream Cruises again.

Sitka is a really nice town.

Thank you so much for your reviews

My husband & I are cruising the '8 day Glacier Bay' on 26 Aug

I have cruised a big ship from Anchorage years ago & it was nice.

I am really looking forward to this voyage - it sounds great!

we will pack some rain gear & fleece

Oh, how was Ludvig's?

Thanks again
