Review summary

My pros and cons above summarize my impressions. It.s a relatively small ship so you get the good with the bad. We had a terrible, disorganized tender disembarkation in Juneau that took hours. Alaska is beautiful, but we saw very little wildlife--you really need to go on specific excursions to do that. The pool and hot tubs were not crowded. It rains a lot in August.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5

Excellent food. The service was very slow. For sit down service the waiters seemed very busy. In the buffet room, the waiters just seemed unmotivated.

Entertainment

1 out of 5

There were a couple of excellent acts, but the rest were largely unwatchable or just sad. Did they just not have a budget for entertainment?
