Did not get to see glaciers as expected. Our Captain opted to skip Tracy Arm Fjord and neglected to cruise closer to Hubbard like other cruise ships.

Entertainment

4 out of 5
Royal singers and dancers were a disappointment this trip. They were crude and suggestive especially since there were many families in attendance. The volume was ear splitting and required moving to the back of the theater. The Headliner show singer and the Juggler were excellent.

Children's Programs

No children

Service and Staff
