Review summary

This cruise was a nice balance between relaxing, luxury on-ship time and beautiful scenic Alaska. Our stateroom was perfect in every way, the service was impeccable and our stateroom attendant was super helpful and attentive. The restaurant Blu was so fantastic that we rarely ate anywhere else. The Blu staff was over-the-top friendly and the food was way beyond my expectations. Social events and offerings were a nice mix, and we particularly enjoyed the musical performers. 

 

The only negative experience we had was at the spa, where the staff seemed to be operating on a different customer service platform. Scheduling was difficult and the staff, while very nice, pushed purchases of products far too aggressively. The running theme was to criticize the condition of our skin and nails until we agreed to purchase products.

Our cabin was perfect! More than enough room to move around, comfy beds, big enough bathroom, tons of storage and a beautiful balcony.

Ship tip

I would recommend the unlimited beverage package, which is well worth it, even if you drink only soft drinks. I would also recommend purchasing the wi-fi for the entire trip, but keep in mind it is a one-device-at-a-time deal.

Unfortunately like all cruise lines the Spa is run by a different company and the staff are not trained by the cruise line, so you will get a difference in customer service.
