This was an amazing cruise that I highly recommend. The southern route is not as popular as the northern route so the ship was not at full capacity which made it very nice. The dining was excellent and the staff was superb.
Embarkation
5 out of 5
Very easy. It was not crowded as everyone had appointed times to report.
Ship experiences
Food and Dining
5 out of 5
We dined mainly in the main dining room. We did not use the specialty restaurants and only went to buffet a few times when the dining room was not available. The food was excellent and the staff went above and beyond to please.
Onboard Activities
4 out of 5
I only use the pool area. The hot tubs were crowded and people tended to stay in them rather than limit their time.
Entertainment
2 out of 5
The entertainment could have been better especially in the lounges. The only really good one was the man doing James Taylor songs. The rest were subpar. There needed to be a lively duo or group suitable for dancing.
Service and Staff
5 out of 5
All were excellent. Very friendly and willing to help to suit our needs.
Ship Quality
5 out of 5
It would have been better with a main atrium in the center like many ships have that can be used as a gathering area. I did like the martini bar and coffee shop.
Cabin / Stateroom
5 out of 5
Lots of storage space and hangers. There was a safe and space to put a suitcase under the bed. It was kept very clean by the steward.
I took the train to the Yukon but it could not go into Canada so it was round trip on the train. The trip was too long. The original plan was better with a bus ride back. Most people were sleeping on the train. The views were good but not both ways. It got boring.
Not much here except a gift shop. Don't bother going to Hoonah village. That was a waste of time as there was absolutely nothing there. I rode the $5 shuttle and returned back as soon as possible.
Vancouver was a bit disappointing. There are so many homeless everywhere. I did the Hop On and Hop Off and only got off at Granville Island. China Town did not look safe. There was also a lot of drug trade on the streets in many areas.
