We too will have the same itinerary. I SHOULD HAVD LOOKED AT THE TIMES IN PORT, that’s on me. But giving the ports 3 stars because of the time frame seems harsh.

Thanks for the review. Cruising is not the same as it was prior to Covid. If you want more time in Ports, take a one-way cruise from Alaska to Vancouver or the reverse.
