Review summary

Overall, not having cruised in many years. This was a great cruise. I would just shop around for better deals. I spoke to other cruisers onboard that got way better deals than we did. I know where to go shopping if we cruise again.

Juneau, Alaska

Best port of all for us. Great excursion with Tongass forest hike and whale watching. We had the best tour guide in Griffin Bailey and Captain Jen. Very knowledgeable and great photo tips. Would highly recommend. Got to see whales, porpoise, harbor seals, sea lions and bald eagles!!

Skagway, Alaska

4 out of 5
Sis the White pasa railway in this port, but wasn’t able to see much because of the fog. Disappointing. Maybe nicer on a clear day.

Cruise Inside Passage, Alaska

5 out of 5
Great views and scenery

Victoria, British Columbia

3 out of 5
This port was okay. Got there late and only stayed a few hours. Think $15 shuttle ride per person is kind of steep.

Disembarkation

5 out of 5
Great. The port Valet for luggage is the best. Disn’t Have to see our luggage until we arrived at destination airport. Got right off and on a shuttle to the airport.
