Imputu, waiting staff, happy willing and able to service your needs. Offshore Excursions Manager, knowledgeable, happy and able to service any needs.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

1 out of 5

Meat seemed to be only food preparation well handled, i.e. beef, any other foods were overcooked or badly cooked. Wine menus out of date, and out of stock without apology or inconvenience to any person. Matre de and Bar Manager deserve either more training or to be let go from their positions.

Entertainment

1 out of 5

Same entertainment provided as from previous cruise Hawaii to Vancouver, not worthy even of mention. Thanks but no thanks.

Service and Staff

1 out of 5

Only four staff could be considered going above & beyond in their friendliness, willingness and ability to help our cruise enjoyment.

Mount Robson Tramway worthy of viewing and close to port dock, so no problem to navigate. Mendenthall Glacier helicopter and walk on Glacier an absolute must for anyone visiting, albeit expensive yet memorable.

Train ride to the Yukon border fabulous scenery, snowing at the time we went, enjoyed immensely, old train kept in great condition with terrific commentary. Local pubs and staff friendly, in many ways better than ships crew.
