Review summary

ALASKA!! I know we had great weather with not a day of rain. I highly recommend an Alaskan cruise to everyone. Will be going back again and again.

Embarkation

4 out of 5

Seattle terminal was pleasant. Easier to navigate than Galveston. Usual standing around waiting in line. But didn't seem to take to long.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5

Ahhh nicely sized ship. Not overcrowded feeling. MDR was Grand. We had a table by the windows looking out the back of the ship. Food was good and so was the service. Seemed like there was always 2 buffets open. Usually one or the other had a short line.

Onboard Activities

4 out of 5

Attended a few shows. Watched thr Dive In movies.

Entertainment

5 out of 5

Shows were entertaining

Service and Staff

5 out of 5

So far my 3rd cruise and the staff did not disappoint. Steward magically made the beds and brought clean towels without ever being seen.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5

Never felt lost on this ship. Was laid out well and easy to find what you were looking for. Well kept and clean.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5

Balcony cabin was great for whale watching and the views!! Oh the mountains, the glacier, the icebergs that looked small until the excursion boat showed up and there was something to compare them to. They were pretty freaking large chunks of ice.

Disembarkation

4 out of 5

Disembarkation went smoothly and luggage pickup was easy to find.
