Review summary

Be careful buying jewelry. White quartz with gold vein is very pretty but may actually be 'synthetic' quartz with gold vein injected.

Everyone said we needed a balcony in Alaska. We saw many things on deck 11.

Ship tip

Elevator lines long after a show, step away for 5-10 minutes and it will clear out.

Very delayed. Other ships had begun their season and it was too busy. We were familiar with the sky train so for a short walk we got out of the chaos walking with our bags and rode the train for 2.05 (CAD) to the airport and took hotel shuttle from there.
