Review summary

This is a great way to get to Japan with stops along the way and two ports in Japan. other than the transportation to and from the ship it was a good journey

Very fast and efficient because I did all I could online before.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5

Onboard Activities

4 out of 5
We didn't do a lot of activities on the ship we mainly relaxed

Entertainment

4 out of 5
I enjoyed the shows and the comedy , I wish they had more repeat shows because I missed some because of other events.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
All the staff were excellent and very accommodating .

Ship Quality

4 out of 5
The ship was clean but was going in for some updates after our cruise so probably better on the Maintenance. I also stayed on deck 3 and couldn't go to the restaurant without going up and back down.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
It was a good size for us. We don't spend time in our cabin so we picked the standard interior

Ship tip

Be patient when getting on and off. The ship is very big so a lot of people have to get on and off at all the ports.

Ports of call

Long Beach (Los Angeles), California

4 out of 5
We flew into LAX and booked a shuttle though Carnival from LAX to the port. Unfortunately that was not a good experience. We waited four hours for the shuttle.

Ketchikan, Alaska

5 out of 5
The port was beautiful and we just walked around.

Sitka, Alaska

5 out of 5
Very nice and we just walked around. Lovely place

Icy Strait Point (Hoonah), Alaska

5 out of 5
Fun place and we just walked around

Otaru (Sapporo), Japan

5 out of 5
Very nice place but make sure you know where you are going when getting off the ship.

Aomori, Japan

5 out of 5
Very nice and fun place

Yokohama (Tokyo), Japan

5 out of 5
This is where we got off the ship and waited two hours in a long taxi line in the hot sun. The city is great and China town in Yokohama is amazing. We stayed at a hotel here and trained into Tokyo and to Mt Fugi. Great trip

Disembarkation

4 out of 5
We got off ok but there were not enough ways to get out of the port area. We waited two hours in a taxi line in the hot sun.
