Review summary

Alaska is amazing. The views are spectacular. I would advise to take a cruise to Alaska in May or June when there is still snow on the mountain top. I would also advise to take a 8 day or more cruise to Alaska so you get to go to more ports and spend more time in the ports.

Embarkation

5 out of 5
We had to wait outside a long time before being allowed to go sit in the terminal before boarding.

Cabin / Stateroom

4 out of 5
I gave it a four because the refrigerator didn't work and because the balcony was partially covered. It rained the majority of the time I was in Alaska so I wasn't able to sit on the balcony without getting wet. If it was covered more I would have been able to sit outside more. The views were spectacular from the balcony.

Ship tip

Don't book a aft balcony. I wasn't able to sit on the balcony as much as I wanted to. It was only partially covered and it rained almost every day.

Ports of call

Cruise Tracy Arm Fjord, Alaska

This was an amazing experience being able to get close to the glacier. I was even able to see it calving and hold a peice of the iceberg.

Juneau, Alaska

The glacier was beautiful and so was the waterfall next to it.
