Review summary

How can one go wrong on a cruise to an amazing part of the world? The only surprise was that the food was underpar compared with other cruises I've been on. The rooms were great, service good, and the landscape spectacular!

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

1 out of 5

Subpar compared to other cruises I've been on, both in the dining room and cafeteria.

Entertainment

3 out of 5

Except for the naturalist on board who did an excellent job explaining everything we were seeing, the entertainment was just average. Nothing special.

Service and Staff

3 out of 5

Always friendly and willing to help, but so many of the staff do not speak English well enough to actually be of assistance. This was frustrating.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5

Lovely ship, pretty standard.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5

Very clean and well kept.

Skagway, Alaska

Don't Miss: Glacier Point.

Juneau, Alaska

The port is horrible, a total tourist trap, ugly, and nothing to see. Mendenhall Glacier is breathtaking, a must see. But get out of the port as quickly as possible.

Stay away from the tourist traps!!!! There are beautiful and authentic souveniers to be had further north. Don't buy anything here - wait.
