I was a single person and booked as such. On the boat,I was put with a family from India that had 4 teenage kids whom 1 was in my seat and refused to move. Even after showing them my ticket. The snobby little girl got up went to a waiter and complained that I was telling them they had my seat. She was so rude. Their parents and grandparent was in the next both never even acknowledged what was going on. I never got my meal that I paid for. And I had to spend 5 and a half hours standing outside on the deck. I got a second degree sun burn and my legs swelled up so bad I thought I was going to have a heartache. I am a senior citizen and to be treated like this was inexcusable.. Staff did nothing. They said there are plenty of open seats just take 1. Well if you know which seat is not bought then tell me and exchange it. But they would not say. I will not be taking another cruise with this company again. They owe me a refund of at very least the meal and seat as I got neither of which I paid for.

The ride on the Seaward Freeway was awesome with great view of the emerald colors of the water nestled with the pristine evergreens surrounded by ancient ,but now receding glaziers, under the blue skies.Tommy our guide & driver was awesome & so also the captain of the boat ride.We were lucky to have the perfect weather conditions with calm seas under the blue skies & were lucky to see the Calvino of the glaciers with thunderous sound.

It was raining and so foggy we didn't get to see 26 glaciers. The captain changed the itinerary and took us to other places and the glaciers were amazing. The sea otters were so cute. My main complaint is how rude and selfish people can be standing in the doorway to avoid the rain. There were so many people standing in the doorway or right outside of the doorway that it was hard to get out to see the glaciers and the wildlife. People's behavior is not the fault of the tour company. The tour was great. The food was delicious. We booked the train ride from Anchorage and the 26 glacier cruise prior to our Princess cruise. Our luggage was taken at the train station and was on the cruise ship when we got there. SO convenient! The train ride was awesome.
