outstanding cruise
August
Pros: personal attention
Cons: none
Recommended: Yes
Our cabin was spacious and well appointed. Cabin attendants were always available Ram and Wawan did an outstanding job. The shore trips were varied and all offered the Alaska experience for which we signed up. Guides were knowledgeable. Particularly liked the seaplane trip to Taku lodge, and zodiac tours. Seeing wildlife and hearing about them from enthusiastic guides was a plus. Going ashore in the small villages was enjoyble.

Small ship experience
May
Pros: The Expedition Team gives you the advantage to zodiac and kayak right off the ship from the watersports platform
Cons: none
Recommended: Yes
We prefer small ships (the Legend has only 210 passengers) for the more intimate experience this type of sailing provides. Everything on the Legend was perfect - the food, the staff, and the suites - every room is 288 sq ft. with a HUGE picture window.

A very good experience for first time small ship crusing
August
Pros: Yacht sized ship, less than 200 guests, excellent guest to crew ratio, great food including several dining options and a great pool deck BBQ, wonderful all-suite stateroom accommodations, open bridge policy
Cons: Ship is a bit dated, and a little rough around the edges, evening entertainment options extremely limited including in suite television channel selection
Recommended: Yes
Outstanding crew, friendly and accommodating at all times. Excellent food and service in all dining venues. Open bridge policy is an added treat. Take note that shore excursion pricing is outrageously expensive. We booked independently and had terrific tours at reasonable pricing. There is no swimming pool, only hot tubs on decks 5 and 7. This ship is a former Seabourn yacht, rebranded as the Windstar Legend, and launched only several months before my trip. The ship still needs some sprucing up here and there, but all in all the renovation is lovely, with an understated decor (translate: not cruise ship "gaudy") in earth tones in the suites and pubic spaces.
