Ship experiences

Food and Dining

Restaurants were nicely decorated and the staff were awesome. The food was good but nothing I would write home about.

Onboard Activities

3 out of 5
Some of the contests were fun, the spa was a waste of time for me, the massage was terrible and expensive and afterwards the masseuse tried to sell me other a bunch of other treatments. Not impressed.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
The ship was awesome, built in Hamburg Germany it couldn't be anything less.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
The cabin worked well for us we planned in advance and brought over the door storage holder and some heavy duty magnets to hang our coats on to free up space. We were pleasantly surprised that there were plenty of hangers in the closet, and there was adequate space under the bed for our suite cases. The fridge could have worked a little better drinks never really got cold.

Ship tip

Over the door storage holder and heavy duty magnets.

Ports of call

Vancouver (Canada Place), British Columbia

3 out of 5
Vancouver drove us nuts, especially driving it was awful, turning was a nightmare with the pedestrians crossing the road every time we tired to turn a corner. We were shocked to see all the druggies in the streets and people walking passed them like it was normal. We did not do any excurions.

Cruise Inside Passage, Alaska

5 out of 5

Ketchikan, Alaska

4 out of 5
Yes we did excursions but not through the cruiseline. Viator was our way to get around. I hated all the jewelry stores it was ridiculous how many there were and we avoided them at all cost.

Sitka, Alaska

5 out of 5
We loved Sitka, the perfect town. Again we did Viator excursion and had a good time.

Skagway, Alaska

5 out of 5
Loved Skagway, the excursion through the Yukon was something I will never forget.

Icy Strait Point (Hoonah), Alaska

3 out of 5
Very small town with not a lot to offer, we walked into town but there was not much to see. The locals though were super friendly and talked up a storm.

Juneau, Alaska

3 out of 5
The town itself was ok again a bunch of jewelry stores which were a turn off for us. The excursions were good though.

CRUISE ENDICOTT ARM & DAWES GLACIER

4 out of 5
We were not able to go through to the glacier as it was too dangerous, too much loose ice, but the portion we did see was still phenomenal and made for some great photo ops.

Victoria, British Columbia

3 out of 5
Ok not so much for us. It was smaller then we thought and not much to do.

Disembarkation

5 out of 5
Seamless.
