Review summary

This was our second time to these ports. Weather in Skagway was a breezy with clouds but not real cold. You need up go to the Red Onion and take the tour. In Juneau it was off and on rain/mist. We walked to the Ref Dog Saloon and rode the tram up the mountain The views were amazing . Last stop was Ketchikan and we did a little shopping and took an excursion around part of the town and the island. We saw the Salmon spawning, Eagles and a bear. The weather was perfect. We Also saw a few waterfalls .

Embarkation

5 out of 5
We had 10:30-11:00. Our shuttle ran late do we arrived about 11:00. We got through the line in about 10 minutes and on the ship about 15 minutes later. Very well organized and staff was great.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5
We ate on Lido when on board. Good selection of food. Chopsticks was very good and of course pizza, Guys burger and desserts. Tables always clean and sanitized. Staff very helpful answering our questions or pointing us in the right direction. The staff are all so happy to be back at work.

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5
We had a group of 4. We loved spending time with Ventzi the Piano man and Sheryl the bartender in the Piano bar. We played in the casino on the non smoking side. The smoke smell was not bad this time. We f do lent home at the Atrium Bar and mingled with people and listened to the band and singers. We spent time in Red Frog Pub listening to the band, listening to Karaoke and drinking πŸ˜‚. We attended all but 1 show because the martinis were really good that day πŸΈπŸ™ƒ. The dancers all 8 of them were excellent every time we say them. We played bingo 2 times no winners in our group. We went to 1 comedy show and did not return. We have seen better ones on other Carnival ships.

Entertainment

5 out of 5
The entertainment on board was great. The bands, guitarist, pianist, violinists and dancers were exceptional. The night shows were exceptional , very interactive. We sat in row 2 in the front and were up close to really enjoy their expressions and interactions

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
All the staff we interacted with were very friendly and met all our expectations. Jen the Cruise Director and Aussie Neil on her staff were great. We will miss them. Our bartender in the Atrium bar Jaya was very entertaining. Always knew what we were going to drink. We did tip him extra because he deserved it. In the Red Frog Pub our bar waiter Patterra was the best. He remembered our card number and our drinks each time. We did tip him extra because he deserved it. The Bar Server in the Phantom Theater is Carolina (sounds like Caroleena). She always looked out for us. She is from Brazil. We will miss the staff when we sail on 2/15/22 from Long Beach to Cabo.

Ship Quality

4 out of 5
All areas were very clean. She is an older ship and has some sea rust but nothing major πŸ‘ship size is great hard to get lost

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
We had a balcony and loved it. Pretty quiet except our neighbors liked to let their door slam all the time. Our cabin was ready when we boarded and luggage was there in about an hour. We opted for morning cleaning and they came between 11:30-12:30. We did not see our room steward much because we were out and about a lot. Room size was good. We have had balconies before.

Ship tip

Have fun and enjoy yourself. The Mask wearing was not an inconvenience since we have been wearing them for almost 2 years anyway.

Disembarkation

5 out of 5
Easiest disembarkation. We left the ship on our own with our luggage and caught our shuttle and caught our shuttle in enough time for our 11:47 flight home .
