Hey - we are scheduled for 6/3/05 Alaskan cruisetour on Statendam. We have a verandah balcony toward the back of the ship. Is it a good thing to basically stay on your own balcony or go on deck to be sure we are not missing anything? I want to use the balcony as much as possible. And what is this about being at the back of the ship? Not that I can change it at this point - but is this a bad thing?? When do I know when to go up on deck versus stay on my own private island?? Also what about roughness of seas? I know during the inside passage - it is non-existant - but what about when we get into the Gulf of Alaska? Any suggestions?? Our first cruise to Alaska and a balcony!! Always had interior cabin - couldn't stand that. Thanks for any input
