The Bliss to Glacier Bay? 2019?

[AlaskaGoer]

I was a bit surprised to see the Bliss was the choice for the Pearl's old route (Glacier Bay) starting in 2019.

 

Figured the ship was a bit big, but I guess not?

[don't-use-real-name]

The differences between the ships:

 

The BLISS has a greater passenger capacity

The BLISS has a floating amusement park on the top deck

The BLISS is slightly longer

The draft is pretty much the same

The BLISS is higher (more vertical decks) *

* and I don't know if its structure will clear the Lions Gate bridge Vancouver ???

Other than that the BLISS can go most anywhere the PEARL or SUN did.

 

What is the difference between the BLISS sailings in 2018 and 2019 ?

Instead of the Tracy Arm Sawyer Glacier doing the Glacier Bay ?

Any port stops different i.e. Icy Straight Point ? Sitka ?

Juneau Skagway Ketchikan Victoria are pretty routine ?
