Thank you Karen, yes that was a major concern of mine.
No the rough seas did not bother me at all, the captain was surprised, but as I said, I expected it to rock and roll it's a ship. He said, it was exceptionally rough 2 of the nights.

The caviar bar was russian caviar and american caviar, Yes, they have room service 24/7 and you can order the caviar to the room as well but it was so nice to have it in the observation lounge. I think it was from 6 - 7:30 (not complimentary). Don't know about the others, this was my first cruise

The staff was fantastic from the ones I briefly talked to to the ones I had dealings with.

I did tip my room stewardess extra as well as one bartender and the room service guy on the last day. I felt they deserved extra tips, and they were so happy and thankful to receive them.

Yes, the Pan Pacific is a great hotel, and very comfortable and accomodating. It's very close to downtown and shops and nice restos.

I had 2 courses most nights and hubby had 3 (deserst that I didn't have). It's just long for us as 2 hours is usually our max and after a long day at port 2 hours was very very long for us. Hubby really does not enjoy those long dragged out dinners.

What we didn't like was the short times in port. We would have liked it if we would have had overnights in ports so we could have spent more time in Alaska.

I don't know for what I could have interacted more with the staff we really didn't participate in any shipboard games/life with the exception of the show on the last day.

They were there if we needed them on the few occasions and were fantastic.

The staff was great.

What I can say is that a lot of people didn't realize that the spa gratuities were not included. I knew this from previous spa/resort travel, the spa is seperately owned and run (not by Raddison)and I think Radisson should make that clear but for me it was not a problem personally.

Also from what I observed and overhead a couple of times, in the daily paper, it was not clear that the caviar bar was not "complimentary" and a lot of people were grumbling on the elevators that they assumed it was as it was not clear.

Again not a problem for me as I knew it would be a charge from past resort experience in similar situations but it seemed to be a problem for quite a few people.
