Ship Quality

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5

Good size cabin with plenty of storage, bathroom compact , but expected on cruise ship. having a balcony on an Alaskan cruise is worth the extra money. Our room steward kept our room spotless Quiet room , never heard anyone outside our room . Close to the forward lifts and not far from the library

Ship tip

Pre purchase all packages pre cruise as there are significant savings prior to savings, keep eye out regularly for sales , it will save you a lot of money.

Icy Strait Point (Hoonah), Alaska

4 out of 5

If you want to eat crab , try the crab shack it is a small restaurant/ pub with reasonable prices compared to Juneau and Ketchikan Paid to travel to peak on gondola , unfortunately wet and foggy not worth the $50 cost
