Review summary

The cruise was good experience for the first time to visit Alaska.

Waiter and assistant waiter were excellent.

Food from Ocean View Cafe were good and had various choices. However, I wished the plates were dried without water. Some people from my party were looking from some Korean spicy food.

Our waiter and his assistant were excellent.

Ship Quality

3 out of 5

Ship is kind of old with some bumps in the floor rugs in the lobby.

Cabin / Stateroom

3 out of 5

Cabin fitted 5 people. However, the sofa bed is not really a good place to rest. Staff maintained it clean. However, we were charged for some drinks used by last cruise. We told the cabin staff and they didn't take them off.

Ship tip

For example: Go to the Lido deck for breakfast. They had the shortest lines!

I hope that you loved Alaska as much as I did. I finally got to return there for two additional ports of call. But, I didn't get to see any glaciers on the second trip.
