Review summary

Embarkation

We were on the ship within 30 minutes.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5
Delicious food and cocktails.

Onboard Activities

4 out of 5
The evening shows in the theater were amazing. We did not attend the game shows because there were too few places to sit. A larger venue would have been nice because we normally spend a lot of time at the game shows on other ships.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
The cabin was comfortable. There was lots of storage and the shower was especially nice. I personally like the TV in front of the bed.

Ship tip

Be sure to visit the buffet when it first opens. The food preparation was an art form.

Ports of call

Ketchikan, Alaska

4 out of 5
We enjoyed walking around the small town. The tourist area is well maintained, but the outskirts of town were rather rundown. It left me with a sad feeling for the residents who are there year round.

CRUISE ENDICOTT ARM & DAWES GLACIER

5 out of 5
Beautiful... Wish we could have seen the glacier up close.

Juneau, Alaska

5 out of 5
We wandered through the town. We were going to take the tramway but it was way too pricey.

Skagway, Alaska

5 out of 5
We enjoyed the train ride and the town. It was our favorite port. I enjoyed the history and the quaintness of the area.

Cruise Inside Passage, Alaska

5 out of 5

Victoria, British Columbia

4 out of 5
We have been to the town a few times. We did an excursion called Bites and Sights. This excursion was way overpriced. We had a dry biscuit with whipped cream at one location, a small piece of polenta and 2 oz. of beer at another, and a wrapped chocolate standing on some steps. We learned some interesting facts along the way but overall the excursion was disappointing. This could be a great tour if the food portions were more substantial. The main stop (beer pub) was way too loud and the food took 30 minutes or more to arrive. :-(

Vancouver (Canada Place), British Columbia

5 out of 5
We stayed in Vancouver for 3 nights after our cruise at an Airbnb. We loved exploring the area, especially The Capilano Suspension Bridge Park.

Disembarkation

5 out of 5
We were the last ones off because we had no place to be. No crowds and EASY!
