It was fantastic, cold, rainy, everyone got sick last half of cruise (head cold), food became boring near end of trip, but over all, it was really fun!
Started out food was fantastic, until it was the same thing over and over, so then by about 9 days into cruise, food wasn't interesting any more.
Elegant nights were awesome!
The paparazzi were interesting and fun to do photos with, which of course, we bought more photos than we needed to.
The excursions and trips to town were overall interesting.
Looking forward to next cruise.

Ship experiences
Food and Dining
4 out of 5
All food was wonderful until 2nd half of trip when the same things were getting boring to eat, but the wait staff in the dining room was SPECTACULAR!!! And everyone on the ship was amazing.
Onboard Activities
4 out of 5
Didn't do much on the ship this trip, too cold to swim. But did a massage (that was extremely awesome), enjoyed Elegant Nights, was interesting to see Aurora from ships' deck. Overall, it was an amazing trip.
Entertainment
4 out of 5
Didn't attend shows. Instead, we brought games to play on the Lido (cards, dice, etc).
Children's Programs
No kids, just 4 adults who think they are kids.
Service and Staff
5 out of 5
Everyone was amazing!
Ship Quality
5 out of 5
Everything was well maintained all over the ship.
Cabin / Stateroom
5 out of 5
Comfortable, private, the obstructed view wasn't a problem, Stateroom attendant Par was amazing through the whole trip. I requested more hangers and got some, I also requested a warmer blanket, got it too.
Ship tip
Bring more magnets to hang stuff on the walls. Bring a charging brick, as you only have one outlet to plug into on the desk and no USB outlets provided in your room. And if you are doing Alaska, bring plenty of warm clothing, rain jacket, umbrella, other things to keep warm and dry. We didn't bring enough, so had to purchase while at ports.
Cruise Tracy Arm Fjord, Sept 18 2023: had photo shoot with glacier planned, but too foggy for captain to feel comfortable to drive into port, so boat turned around and no one went on shore. But the Ice burgs were amazing to see.
I guess it's a little tough to understand how the food was "same thing over and over again" just 4-5 days into the cruise; but otherwise it sounds like you had a good time
