relaxing cruise to small port towns in Alaska's southern arm and in some Canadian cities.

Embarkation

lines were disorganized and I was directed to the wrong queue (not to concierge).

food was excellent especially in the specialty restaurants. my standard drink package was not available on the ship and was not corrected until the last day. I had to purchase another drink package and wait for reimbursement when they finally got it.

Theater, night club, lounges, art auctions.

comfortable. size was appropriate for a cruise ship. room was cleaned as if by magic after I left for activities.
