Review summary

Positives included efficient boarding/no hassle disembarking. Ports of call enjoyable despite intermittent rain/ temp in low 60's. VanCouver's Greenville Market; downtown Victoria/Empress Hotel/Chinatown worth a visit; Scagway colorful; Sitka/Junea/Prince Rupert less so - would consider a tour in these ports. Alaska scenery breathtaking. On board naturalist talks not to be missed-excellent. Negatives included mediocre service in restaurants (eg cafeteria ran out of lids for take-out coffee cups on day 4); table clearing slow/hard to find open tables for am cafeteria breakfasts. Main restaurant very noisy/seating crowded with limited chair space. Food in cafeteria repetetive/mediocre. Nothing spectacular about the ship/food displays. Would definitely recommend an alaska cruise; would not recommend this particular ship/crew- can do better elsewhere.

Ok, thanks for the tip. Although, July/August may have lots of kids on board:)

while weather can be quite unpredictable re rain, would suggest end of july to mid august for best chance of sunny/warmer weather

Would you suggest cruising to Alaska earlier in the season then?
