Alaska - Cruise West's Spirit of Alaska

Hello Deanna -

Here is a picture taken of us by a fellow traveller. We had a great time and we did sign up for a future Cruise West some time in the next year or so.

We had a great time!

Alaska - Cruise West's Spirit of Columbia

Hello Mike,

Yes we had a fabulous time on our Denali / Columbia / Glacier Bay tour. The trip as a whole was awesome. We loved
seeing the glaciers, scenery, and wildlife in their natural habitat. We really lucked out on the weather, too. It was sunny and warm almost every day we were in Alaska.

The tour was well organized, the staff was wonderful, the exploration leaders were knowledgeable. Our favorite shore excursion by far was the helicopter ride over the glaciers of Juneau up to a summer dog camp, including a dog sled
ride.

This Cruise West tour will not be our last!

Thanks!

Alaska - Cruise West's Spirit of Endeavour

Hi Roxanne,

We were more than happy with our cruise. The vast wilderness and beauty of Alaska exceeded my expectations and they were pretty high. Cruising right up to Sawyer glacier at the end of Tracy Arm was a highlight as was Glacier Bay National Park.

We saw bears a few times and got to see a black bear with 3 cubs when we were returning on the train from Denali on the train and a brown bear with 3 cubs on the cruise. The cruise is exactly as it promotes itself, small, casual and personal, not big or ritzy or pretentious so it suited us perfectly.

When we spoke to people on the big cruise ships in a few ports they felt they had not seen any wildlife . I am already promoting the benefits of small ship cruising with CruiseWest and will recommend you.

Thanks for your efficiency and good wishes.

Alaska - Cruise West's Spirit of Columbia

Dear Alma:

I had a wonderful time. The land portion and the ship cruise were fantastic! All the staff of Cruise West and the Spirit of Columbia were very personable and informative of their surroundings. I learned a lot.

I have attached a few pictures showing my good time, hope you enjoy. All the land tours were great, had a little problem with the Denali School Bus Ride - the driver had a lead foot and travelled too fast so we had trouble spotting animals and did stop long enough for everyone to snap that picture.

Alaska - Celebrity Cruises's Infinity

Hi Jackie,

We thoroughly enjoyed our Alaska Cruise. The Infinity is a beautiful ship, and we were treated like Royalty. The ports we stopped at were picture perfect, and the Hubbard Glacier was the highlight of the whole trip. Our Captain was able to get us to within a 1/2 mile of the glacier -- Spectacular! If anyone tells you that they were closer, then they were on the Titanic.

I have attached a photo for you. It is of us with the Mendenhall Glacier in the background. We are standing just in front of a lake in town. Although it looks like a studio backdrop, Steve's sister Stacy took the photo using a point and shoot digital camera.

Thanks Jackie for your assistance on booking this wonderful vacation for us.

Alaska - Regent Seven Seas Cruises's Seven Seas Mariner

Hi Shelly

For the record the Seven Seas Mariner was "Simply the Best" - more than exceeded our expectations. Our only ever previous "cruise" was a transatlantic crossing on the Queen Mary 2 and she carried fives the number of passengers.

Believe me, I would happily prefer to sail on Regent Seven Seas again.

Cheers

Alaska - Celebrity Cruises's Summit

Donna -

We had a good time. Can't say enough good things. Even the stay in Vancouver which we did on our own worked out good.

The best advice I got was from a neighbor who told me don't buy optional excursions aboard the ship, the locals do a better job. He was right, on the whale watching trip they had 120 piled 4 deep in a boat, we had 40 and all the room we wanted. They were right next to us, that is why know.

Thanks for taking care of us. I've attached a link to our online photo album.

Alaska - Norwegian Cruise Line's Norwegian Pearl

Dear Roxanne,

We had a wonderful cruise. The Norwegian Pearl was a beautiful ship and the crew really made us feel like family. Everyone had a personality from the captain to the servers. The food was excellent and we even tried one of the specialty restaurants. We totally enjoy the Free Style Cruising and eating whenever we want rather than having fixed dining times. The shows were fun and I especially liked the big production numbers.

We were very pleased with your services, Roxanne, and would recommend you.

Thanks for everything.

Alaska - Royal Caribbean Cruises's Vision of the Seas

Hi Tara,

We had a fantastic cruise indeed, Thank you, for getting us aboard the Vision of the Seas. Me and Juliet had a wonderful time and a very memorable one. Six days of nothing but party and relaxation.

Thank you Tara for the fantastic and once in a lifetime Alaskan
cruise on the Vision of the seas.

Sincerely,

Alaska - Norwegian Cruise Line's Norwegian Dream

Uf,

I appreciate how well your organization worked to put our Alaska cruise package together, and appreciate all your efforts very much. You can be sure we'll be talking to you for all planned cruises in the future. I'm enclosing a picture of our entire group. It was taken in the parking lot of the little log church overlooking beautiful Auke Lake, just outside of Juneau.

Sincerely,

Alaska - Celebrity Cruises's Infinity

Alena,

I am writing to say thanks for your assistance with our cruise arrangements and to tell you what a wonderful time we had on our Alaskan cruise.

Alaska is such a beautiful and wonderful place. The trek through the Inside Passage was breathtaking. We sat on our veranda for hours enjoying the beauty and wonder of this amazingly diverse area. We enjoyed each port from the quaintness of Ketchikan to primitive Icy Strait Point. His walk on Mendenhall Glacier mesmerized my son. My wife did lots of shopping in Juneau and aboard the ship. Cruising up to Hubbard Glacier was the most fascinating part of the cruise for me. It is awesome.

We will go back to Alaska soon, probably to Anchorage and points north. I look forward to working with you on that trip.

Thanks again!

Alaska - Princess Cruises's Sun Princess

Thanks to our SUPER sales agent, Roxanne Gadsey , we were able to take our Best Cruise yet thru The Inland Passage to Alaska!! She got us a great Deal & a Great Cruise!!

Thanks Roxanne!!! You are THEE Best!!

Alaska - Cruise West's Spirit of Yorktown

Roxanne:

Our trip with Cruise West was great! We had no problems or issues. We really enjoyed the Spirit Of Yorktown and the small ship experience and were able to go to places that the big ships can't navigate. We loved the casualness of the ship including no locks on the staterooms, no dress requirements, no assigned seating, etc. The accommodations, crew, service, food, lectures, etc. were wonderful.

We had great weather everywhere with no rain or real cold conditions. Our fellow passengers were mostly those who didn't care for the big ships and groaned when at ports when 4 to 6 big ships were present.

Our land portion of the trip (Anchorage to Fairbanks) was very good also. Again, we had good weather and great views in Denali National Park. We didn't sign on for many extra trips since there were always included trips at all stops.

Thanks again for your help.

Alaska - Cruise West's Spirit of Columbia

Hi Alena,

The trip was wonderful. The Cruise West staff were outstanding. True to its advertising promise, the ship's captain would steer the ship closer to whale pods and seal rookeries so that we could get better views of them and as close as was safely possible to glaciers such that we were able to experience a number of calvings.

This was, indeed, a memorable cruise; thank you and Cruise West for making it special for us.

Alaska - Royal Caribbean Cruises's Radiance of the Seas

Hi, Uf!

I hope you understand how absolutely fabulous the trip was, and that everything that you had a hand in was just perfect. The dogsledding was fantastic. The boys had an unbelievable time.

Thanks again for all your help.

Alaska - Cruise West's Spirit of Oceanus

Dear Trisha,

This trip has been marvelous. Ship is first class with an excellent crew and tons of guides and naturalist on board. We have had a great time and the weather has been perfect. Scenery and wildlife most enjoyable.

Many thanks for making the booking and we do hope to come back to Alaska again. I’ll be in touch when back in England.

Regards,

Alaska - Princess Cruises's Sun Princess

Alma,

I've earned my living for many years in sales; therefore, that qualifies me to recognize talent, decication, determination, good sales tactics, people skills and plain "grunt work" when I see it.

Rest assured we'll never cruise, anywhere, without calling you first. Again, thanks and blessings!

Philip:

The cruise, all the tours, staff, food, ship....everything was superb . . . We have lots of souveniers, photos and memories to last for a lifetime. We are having fun sharing the trip with our kids and grandchildren.

Thanks so much for all your help. Best regards,

Alaska - Cruise West's Spirit of Discovery

Hi, Mike -

I'm writing from the Spirit of Discovery. It's a great trip and it gets better every day! Best wishes . . ..

Alaska - Royal Caribbean Cruises's Radiance of the Seas

This is commend Arlene Brokaw for her caring help in guiding us throught the processes for our Alaska Cruise, May 18, 2007 on Royal Caribbean Radiance of the Seas. She first walked us through the process of getting cabins and dining times, etc-even helping me with the process of getting Crown and Anchor membership-which she pointed out is important since this is our second cruise on Royal Caribbean.

She guided me through the process of getting from our plane in Seattle to the bus taking us to the ship and suggesting hotels in Fairbanks so we could stay a day to see that city before getting on our flight hom

What I am telling you is what a comfort it is having someone who is always there-over a nearly 2-month period-and who was knowledgeable and efficient in representing you, helping us. I am now retired, but when I had my business, she is the type employee I would look for.

Thank you for providing such consistently competent and caring support. It makes us want to choose Royal Caribbean everytime we want to take a cruise.

Alaska - Norwegian Cruise Line's Norwegian Sun

Dear Shelly,

We would like to thank you and your colleagues for the help in booking all on our recent cruise in Alaska aboard the Norwegian Sun. The cruise was fantastic and when we decide to cruise again we will use your company with no hesitation. We also have been regaling our friends with the details and told them to book through you. Once again we can only thank you for your time and expertise.

Alaska - Cruise West's Spirit of Endeavour

Just wanted to thank you guys for recommending Cruise West! What a fantastic way to see Alaska up close and personal. I've been on a lot of the big ships, but they cannot compare to the personal attention and the things you see on a small ship cruise.

I spoke with four travel agencies about a cruise to Alaska and you guys were the only ones to listen to what I want.

Thank you so much! I'll definitely recommend you to all my friends!
