We always pushed an Alaskan cruise off saying "we will do it when we're older." Now we wish would've went years ago! The good news is we've booked a 9 day one for September 2026!!
Embarkation
5 out of 5
Super easy! We didn't have any long lines to wait in. Rooms were available before 1:30 and all our luggage was already there.
Ship experiences
Food and Dining
4 out of 5
The sea day brunch didn't impress, but otherwise, the food was pretty good. Chopsticks had a line each day during lunch because it was yummy.

Entertainment

Only made it to a few shows but we enjoyed them. I was pulled onstage to hula hoop so that was hilarious! Need some practice! Haha
Service and Staff
5 out of 5
I rarely find staff or service issues on Carnival ships. Just be kind, they all work so hard!

Cabin / Stateroom

We love being toward the back of the ship. The room was clean and exactly what we expect.
Ship tip
Most ships we have sailed on previously were much larger. Little did we realize how much we love the smaller ship! Less people mean less lines! Just remember it also means fewer amenities such as dining options.
Whale watching and lighthouse tour. Please don't go into this thinking you'll get up close and personal with the whales. The boats don't get too close because the whales don't like it. But, it's still majestic when you see them.
We bought the shuttle pass through Carnival and we were first to get off the ship. Sadly it's was 3 hours...at 8:30pm. I'm looking forward to going back and seeing it during the day.
