Entertainment
5 out of 5
we went to the main stage show ever night and thoroughly enjoyed the Amsterdam singers and dancers who performed 5 nights , another night a very weak comedian and everyone was saying that, another comedian who was good and Juan Carlos an excellent piano player
Every night after the show we went to the Piano Bar and listened and sang along with Johnny the Piano guy who was amazing his show started at 7:45 and some nights he was still playing and singing at close t1 pm and he never took a break

Ship Quality
3 out of 5
only problem dining room for anytime dining deck 4 show for main stage with wheel chair deck 3 so you had to take elevator out side of dining area to deck 5 walk along to main area and get an elevator to take you back down to deck 3 there is no direct route to rest of deck 4 from dining room
Cabin / Stateroom
2 out of 5
very nice cabin and great balcony and tons of storage space
Ship tip
love that the exploration cafe is still on deck 5 and that the Crows' Nest is still all an observation area
did the Bering Sea Deadliest Catch tour (offered through HAL) and it was fantastic caught huge crabs, shrimps, octopus etc and told great stories of their adventures
Raining all day so just walked over to shops and did a little bit of souvenir shopping was going to do Mt Roberts but too foggy and rainy to see anything
you no longer have to tender here but I was disappointed it was pouring rain and you had to walk a long way to get to the shuttle that takes you into town - before with the tender you got off the tender walked to the right along a beautiful walk way that led to a forest that hadbeautiful totem poles in them - with the shuttle (and if you had a walking disability you would have been exhausted getting to the shuttle) they drop you off in the centre of town
