Review summary

Great Expense that fell WAY SHORT of expectations. Other than Juneau, the shore stops were a waste of time in my opinion, Only thing that was good was the weather and the temperature. We had little rain the days were were on land and temperatures were comfortable. Most of my family and others on our ship came home with Covid. Crew did everything they could to make it safe but when you have that many people in a confined space like a ship it is inevitable you will get sick.
