Review summary

Alaska was a different experience for us. We have been on many Caribbean cruises. This cruise was very laid back and older demographic. We enjoyed the smaller ship and the Alaskan ports. The cooler weather was a bonus and the rain we didn't mind because we were cruising for the first time since January 2020. This cruise was well worth the money! We can't wait to go back.

Ports of call

Seattle, Washington

No excursion but we did go downtown on our own. We walked the harbor and Pike's Place Market Center. Too many people in a small area (Market Center). The Sound Transit was right behind our hotel walking distance and we took it to downtown. We also took it back to the hotel. We ate a Sharp's Roasthouse which was very delicious!

Cruise Tracy Arm Fjord, Alaska

We could not go to this port because of the ice conditions. However, we did go to Endicott Fjord which was breathtaking!

Skagway, Alaska

White Pass Excursion and the scenery was beautiful. We only went half way up the mountain because of construction and we were refunded a portion of our money.

Juneau, Alaska

Mendenhall Glacier & Wildlife Quest - Mendenhall Glacier was fantastic and whale watching was truly the best excursion. Kudos to "Ralph" our bus driver.
