The Spirit is very colorful, somewhat gaudy. The ship was laid out well and easy enough to get around. We were at a small table, although we requested a large table. It seems like the Spirit has an abundance of small tables, and groups got the larger ones.
The ships naturalist was very very good. This is important in Alaska.
Our waiter and busgirl were wonderful. The service was very good. The Maitre D was not helpful with my husband's health needs, we had to be very stubborn with him to get some of the accomodations we'd requested.
We had some complaints about the debarkation. We were dropped at the airport in Anchorage with no guidance and no idea where to find our luggage.
If you have any other questions, let me know at sherryschube@hotmail.com.
For the difference in price, we believe the Inside Passage cruise will give you a lot more for the money. Good luck in whatever you decide.
As for the ship...I can personally tell you the ship was beautiful, the crew very personable, friendly and helpful. My wife and I had a blast and we met some very nice people who we are still in touch with and hope to cruise with again as a group early next year.
I did a review of my trip (and the ship) that's posted on this web site under reader reviews. I know the islands of Hawaii won't help you much, but I did point out a lot about the ship as well. my advice is to book away!!! You'll have a blast on the Spirit!
