Review summary

Only 2 complaints are the ship being hot and the buffet. MDR food was fabulous but the buffet food was consistently nasty. Saw lots of food wastage which I feel is partly due to how bad the food is.

Balcony mid ship on deck 4. Great location with easy access to everything. I typically like higher decks, but this was a great location.

Ship tip

It's hot in the interior parts of the ship

Walked around town. Went to Walmart like a lot of others. The casino in Prince Rupert is sad and depressing. Walked in and out. Otherwise, Sunken Garden worth a visit and the town is cute

Great to visit but wouldn't want to live here! Hills are killer. Beautiful places to see. Walk the Golden Gate, at least some of it. Amazing! Alcatrez was a must visit as well.

Rented a car here as well. Saw a bear playing in a field and so many eagles. Hiked a little at Settlers Cove and Beaver Falls. Again, recommend car rental to see the sites.

Must do the Explorer and drink the Glacierita. I will do this on future Alaska cruises for sure.

We rented a car and drove to Chilkat and Chillkoot Parks. Stunning areas. Highly recommend renting a car to see the area. Town is cute but couldn't get service in restaurants due to crowds.

So commercial with the same shops as the Caribbean. We did the helicopter to Mendenhall with a guided trek. So beautiful. Pricey but worth it.

I'm sorry but there is a 4 complaint minimum for any review on this sight. Are you sure the disembarkation wasn't too hectic or the elevators too crowded? 🤔 ..I'm glad you had an awesome cruise. Such a beautiful itinerary.

I was on the carnival miracle and evidently the buffet food hasn't changed. from what I hear, Carnival buffet food in general is usually pretty nasty. worse than even Golden corral! 😞
