Review summary

Awesome and serene cruise through inner passage. Sights were breathtaking and unexpected. Loved the whales, seals and dolphins that swam with the ship.

Embarkation

5 out of 5
Super fast getting on board. Not sure if it's because of the lower capacity of this ship, but it was great!

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
Easy to get around. Loved that that comedy club is under the main theater. Made it easy to get good seats. Always saw crew cleaning and detailing different areas of the ship during the journey. There was a sense of pride in their work.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
Huge balcony which offered great relaxation during sea days.

Ship tip

Plan to see comedy shows after theater shows. You're already in the vicinity and you'll be able to get great seats.

Ports of call

Juneau, Alaska

4 out of 5
Went to Mendenhall Glacier and Glacier Gardens Tour. Booked through Carnival. Had a knowledgeable and friendly tour guide. Awesome to be able to get so close to the scenic items. Only downside is that we didn't have extra time to explore the city. Shortest port day on the itinerary.

Ketchikan, Alaska

5 out of 5
Quaint town. Didn't book an excursion here. Just walked around and checked out the local shops and restaurants.

Skagway, Alaska

5 out of 5
Friendly sleepy town. Booked our own excursion, not through Carnival. Did the Jewell Gardens tour and glass blowing, only we made a glass flower instead of ornament. Staff was super friendly and enthusiastic. Spent time in town and enjoyed the shops and restaurants.

Cruise Tracy Arm Fjord, Alaska

5 out of 5
Beautiful scenery. Loved everything about this area. Didn't know what to expect and was blown away by the huge mountains and forests flanking the ship nearby.

Vancouver (Canada Place), British Columbia

4 out of 5
A little slow getting off the ship.

Seattle, Washington

5 out of 5
Quick embarkation process. Loved it!

Disembarkation

4 out of 5
Was a little sluggish getting off. Chose to carry off luggage and that took a surprisingly long time to disembark.
