<p>P.S.   What are others saying who&#8217;ve been there?&#8230;</p>
<p>&#8220;My husband and I have stayed at the Westwind II club<br />
before, and just are smitten with it! The people,<br />
environment, area, everything is just so wonderful!<br />
Hands down, best place to stay on vacation in the<br />
Bahamas! LOVE it!&#8221;</p>
<p> &#8221;Being at &#8220;end&#8221; of Cable Beach is the best. You get<br />
all the privacy of a private beach and use of the best<br />
beach in the Bahamas if you want more. Staff is great,<br />
regular residents welcome new visitors like they were<br />
family.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;This New Year&#8217;s Eve will be our third year in a row to visit<br />
West Wind II. It is the most pleasant vacation home we have<br />
ever found. The location, the staff, and the other tenants are<br />
just the greatest. We look forward to it all year and we can&#8217;t<br />
wait to go back!&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;It is well maintained.The location is beautiful,right on the water.<br />
The staff will go above and beyond to be helpful. There is always<br />
plenty to do,very convenient location.&#8221;</p>
<div><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman;">&#8220;I have been going to Westwind II for 17 years. My family have<br />
been going for about 25 and we love it! The people are so<br />
incredibly nice and you always feel like your at home.&#8221;</span></span></div>

Double rooms feature canopied four-post beds with overstuffed mattresses and airy comforters. The larger rooms have en-suite bathrooms. And thankfully, unlike the Elizabethan era, air conditioning is standard.</span></span></span></span></p>

It is the perfect spot for evening conversations or just watching the embers glow while sipping tea. All guests have access to a communal kitchen for </span></span></span><span style="color: #000000; font-family: &quot;Verdana&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;;">making hot beverages and sandwiches<span class="smalltext1"><span style="color: #000000; mso-ansi-font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">.</span></span></span></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span class="smalltext1"><span style="color: #000000; mso-ansi-font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Verdana;">A television lounge is available, too, if you prefer electronic entertainment. But why not spend time in the game room? Accept a challenge of snooker, billiards or darts, then savor a single-malt Scotch while enjoying a match of chess. It is a wonderfully tranquil way to relax after nightfall.</span></span></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span class="smalltext1"><span style="color: #000000; mso-ansi-font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;"><span style="font-size: small; font-family: Verdana;"> </span></span></span></p>

Tennis and fishing can also be enjoyed nearby. And for your convenience, there is a driving range and putting green provided for you to practice your golfing skills before taking on one of the many, fine local courses. You have never seen fairways so verdant.</span></span></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span class="smalltext1"><span style="color: #000000; mso-ansi-font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;"><span style="font-size: small; font-family: Verdana;"> </span></span></span></p>

You will want to rise early each morning for a walk in the fresh country air. Watch the hedgerows and shrubs for butterflies and birds, occasional rabbits and field mice, or perhaps even a fox.</span></span></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span class="smalltext1"><span style="color: #000000; mso-ansi-font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;"><span style="font-size: small; font-family: Verdana;"> </span></span></span></p>

If riding appeals to your sense of adventure, you can hire a mount for the day. Or ask the front desk to lend you one of the bicycles reserved for guests. What a fine way to tour the local area.</span></span></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span class="smalltext1"><span style="color: #000000; mso-ansi-font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;"><span style="font-size: small; font-family: Verdana;"> </span></span></span></p>

Tour the area to see “oasts,” the cone-shaped farm buildings where hops are threshed. Or stop by a local pub for a pint and bit of discourse on local events.</span></span></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span class="smalltext1"><span style="color: #000000; mso-ansi-font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;"></span></span></p>

This is your opportunity to embrace the ease and refinement of country aristocracy.</span></span></span></span></p>

But don’t even bother trying to get a reservation through a online agent. </span></span></span></span></p>

You have access to a championship-level 72-par, 18-hole golf course, The Country Club, designed by none other than Robert Trent Jr. Watch out for the intertwining canals that serve as traps on its long holes.

From the moment you set foot on this 91,000-ton floating resort, you know you have chosen wisely.</span></span></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span class="smalltext1"><span style="color: #000000; mso-ansi-font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;"><span style="font-size: small; font-family: Verdana;"> </span></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span class="smalltext1"><span style="color: #000000; mso-ansi-font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Verdana;">Take a moment to stroll the Promenade Deck, nearly a thousand feet long from stem to stern. You will pass by the Broadway-style Celebrity Theater, bustling Fortune’s Casino, and the cocktail spot known as Michael’s Club, as you make you way to the Grand Foyer at mid-ship.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">  </span>Marble floors and an onyx staircase tell you this is the luxury at sea you were seeking. </span></span></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span class="smalltext1"><span style="color: #000000; mso-ansi-font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;"><span style="font-size: small; font-family: Verdana;"> </span></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span class="smalltext1"><span style="color: #000000; mso-ansi-font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Verdana;">Further aft, you will come upon the Rendezvous Lounge and the Metropolitan Restaurant, where you hear the soft sounds of piano music. Stop here to take in the breathtaking view of Vancouver, B.C. as the cruise ship pulls out of port. Hard as it is to imagine, there are still ten more decks to explore.</span></span></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span class="smalltext1"><span style="color: #000000; mso-ansi-font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;"><span style="font-size: small; font-family: Verdana;"> </span></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span class="smalltext1"><span style="color: #000000; mso-ansi-font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Verdana;">Your stateroom may be on the Penthouse Deck, where the most lavish suite features a master bedroom, a dressing room with vanity, a powder room with shower, and separate master bath made of marble with whirlpool jets to sooth you. A private A/V center is at your disposal, and even the draperies are motorized for your convenience.</span></span></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span class="smalltext1"><span style="color: #000000; mso-ansi-font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;"><span style="font-size: small; font-family: Verdana;"> </span></span></span></p>

It is one of the most beautiful stretches of ocean in the world, flanked by glaciers and rocky inlets, rainforests and snow-capped peaks. Look for whales and sea lions in the cold waters below.</span></span></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span class="smalltext1"><span style="color: #000000; mso-ansi-font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;"><span style="font-size: small; font-family: Verdana;"> </span></span></span></p>

Perhaps you went jogging, relaxed in the Riviera Pool or had a massage in the AquaSpa wellness center.</span></span></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span class="smalltext1"><span style="color: #000000; mso-ansi-font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;"><span style="font-size: small; font-family: Verdana;"> </span></span></span></p>

Or visit the Saxman Native Village to see the world’s largest collection of totem poles. It’s a day you will never forget.</span></span></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span class="smalltext1"><span style="color: #000000; mso-ansi-font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;"><span style="font-size: small; font-family: Verdana;"> </span></span></span></p>

You might even want to do a little shopping at the boutiques on the Entertainment Deck. There is just so much to see and do here.</span></span></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span class="smalltext1"><span style="font-size: small; font-family: Verdana;"><a href="http://globalresortsbyjim.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/04/hubbardglaciercalving.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-165" title="hubbardglaciercalving" src="http://globalresortsbyjim.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/04/hubbardglaciercalving-227x300.jpg" alt="" width="227" height="300" /></a></span></span></p>

Your last port of call will be the Hubbard Glacier, an unforgettable natural sight to behold. When at last you moor in the fishing village of Seward, Alaska, your return flight will be waiting for you. What an adventure you have just had!</span></span></span></span></p>

If you were to select the least expensive inside cabin, you could still pay $1,398. But as a member of the Global Resort Network, you can </span></span><span class="smalltext1"><strong style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="color: #000000; mso-ansi-font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">book your cruise for as little as $280 per person</span></strong></span><span class="smalltext1"><span style="color: #000000; mso-ansi-font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">.</span></span></span></span></p>
