Review summary

We had a great time. There wasn't as much night life on this cruise as others weve been on. Ages ranged 22 - 55, but then again most of the people were older. They did a good job of everything the majority of the time and the staff were excellent, efficient, eager to please and generally really great. Really no complaints. The ports were very touristy but we are tourists, after all. Had the best time in Homer after our cruise staying in a cabin and fishing. Alaska is an amazing state. Very expensive but a bucket list trip worth experiencing.
