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.

Service and Staff

Our room stewards, Putra and Siswo, were fantastic. Red Frog Pub, Cussy, opened our bottle of wine for us! The staff on the Lido deck was always cleaning tables and picking up dishes. They were very efficient and friendly.
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!
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.
Mendenhall Glacier & Wildlife Quest - Mendenhall Glacier was fantastic and whale watching was truly the best excursion. Kudos to "Ralph" our bus driver.
