Review summary

The favorite part was the Fjord.  Not a port.  The views were great even though we could not make it in to Tracy Arm.

The state rooms were dated and had a few issues with the bathroom.

The Faster to fun didn't work for disembarkation.  Half the ship was let off because they carried/wheeled their own luggage and we had to wait for them before we could leave.  So much for paying the extra money to get off earlier.  We waited almost 1 1/2 hours on line.  My brother stayed in his stateroom almost that same amount of time and then exited.  He was in his taxi and we entered our ride.

dated. The sink didn't drain and leaked underneath were we didn't have access to

Ship tip

Even though you will spend too much money, take an excursion because the ports are too touristy and really are no different than one another. If you want to see anything, you will have to pay!

Might have been nice. Raining too much to enjoy it. Buy "double-decker" bus early. It was sold out on the ship.

Do you know that with FTTF you can disembark anytime you want once they have called for self assist? They don't really make that clear. I just go to FTTF lounge and leave when the self assist do. You might have to wait a bit for your luggage but maybe not.

I agree Alan, Dwight and Florin were excellent!  We had a 10:35 flight out of Seattle after the cruise and we were delayed getting off the ship.  Once they cleared for people to get off, we were on the Seattle Express shuttle by 8:00 and at the airport by 8:35.  We carried our own luggage off.

Did the boat do a complete 360 at the Fjord? Trying to figure out if I can stay on my balcony the whole time

We fly out at 12:20. Our shuttle is supposed to be at the port at 9:20. Did you guys get off by 9:00 to 9:30?

What time did you get in your ride. I have a plane to catch at 12 when we get off
