Review summary

The cabin staff and dining hall staff were excellent.   The food was second rate at best, and the first thing on the ship we were pushed beverage packages, which ended up being a waste of money.   Our tour in Juneau was cancelled, but we were not informed until a half hour before the tour, which didn't leave us any time to book anything else.   Skegway was cancelled altogether.  The only town we saw was Ketchikan, the rest of the time was out to sea.    I had been to Glacier Bay before and thought that Tracy Arm Misty Fjord would be good, but not!.   I even heard another passenger complain about it.    I brought my grandson along on this trip and I know he was disappointed not to see Alaska.

Very impressed that the cabin crew knew our names from the moment we walked into our room.

Beverage package is good IF you make good use of it.

What was it about the beverage package that was a waste? We are on this ship in a couple of weeks.
