good42n Posted September 24, 2023 #1 Share Posted September 24, 2023 Looking at the 14 day Glacier Voyage next year on either Grand or Sapphire. Same itinerary, which would you choose and why? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sillyjilly Posted September 24, 2023 #2 Share Posted September 24, 2023 I'm a bigger fan of the Sapphire. The closets on the Grand are sometimes smaller, depending on the cabin you get. I also like the way the Sapphire is layed out. The Grand just doesn't do it for me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Coral Posted September 24, 2023 #3 Share Posted September 24, 2023 Sapphire. Just a bit newer. Has Skywalkers and a wider promenade deck. Built in Japan. Better shipyard than Italy. I would sail either but would go with Sapphire if given a choice. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mtnesterz Posted September 24, 2023 #4 Share Posted September 24, 2023 (edited) You didn't mention the Coral, and that would be first choice, because smaller is better in Alaska. Yes, it too goes to Glacier Bay. Otherwise agree with previous posters for their reasons. Edited September 24, 2023 by mtnesterz 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thrak Posted September 24, 2023 #6 Share Posted September 24, 2023 Sapphire. Love the extra wide Promenade that has room for loungers rather than just chairs and still has plenty of room for the folks walking. Also, as mentioned above by @Sillyjilly the closets on Grand are smaller. Grand also has a truncated midship stairway that only goes a very short way up. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
good42n Posted September 28, 2023 Author #7 Share Posted September 28, 2023 We ended up booking the Sapphire, since it was a pretty clear favorite. Thanks, all! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
