We are currently decided between Radiance and Enchantment. I have been on both ships in the past and enjoyed both. I am glad to see such a nice post about Enchantment as I am leaning to this Itinerary but was worried about the condition of her. Both ships need drydocking, I am sure, but you and others are correct that with Alaska the ship is not what it is all about! Thanks for helping me make up my mind!
