Review summary

Pros:

This was our 12th cruise and we think the food was consistently the best of all our cruises.

The guest speakers (Brent Nixon and Amanda) were exceptional and added a great deal of knowledge of the animals we saw and cities we visited.

The Soltice is a beautiful ship and is well organized for a smaller ship.

The staff were all attentive and smiling, delightful people without exception.

Cons:

The tendering in Juneau was tedious and took much longer than it seemed it should have. We didn't get to the dock until 2:40 pm for a 2:00 pm excursion. 

It was difficult to find a seat in the buffet dining room at peak meal time. We usually ate breakfast in the main dining room.

The room was typical for a balcony room. The robes were a nice touch.

Ship tip

The dining staff made an effort to provide Vegan meals for our nephew. Eat as many meals in the main dining room as finding a seat in the buffet dining room was difficult.
