"I just wanted to let you know that we just got back from our Alaska trip....... It was Great!  Took lots of pictures (which we haven't had time to look at yet), ate and ate and ate on the ship. I think it can be summed up by quoting the tour director.....  "This is NOT a vacation, it IS an adventure" Thanks so much for the wonderful dinner at the Pinnacle Grill.  The food and service was superb! 

All of us really enjoyed it!  Thanks again, for all your help in coordinating our trip" -- May 2010 mini-group party of 8
