Review summary

Really amazing experience. The highlight was the Alaskan Wilderness, but the onboard experience was nice as well. This being our first cruise I have nothing to compare it to, but several people were unimpressed with the onboard experience. Bring a few cases of your own bottled water to avoid criminal upcharges.

Pleasantly surprised at the quality and variety of food. Not easy to pull off on such a large scale.

Half the features on the TV didn't work. Would've been great to have it all linked up to a detailed navigation system, as it kind of alluded that it was. I was informed by numerous crew members that I could tune in to the PA system through the television but this was not available either so I missed a lot of the announcements unless I was in the hallways.

Would've liked to have more time here. I imagine we stopped here as it is a requirement to have 1 international port I think? Felt a bit rushed though.
