Ship experiences

Food and Dining

1 out of 5
The only reason I gave this a 1 is because on our last night we ate at the Crown Grill and it was good food. The rest of the cruise was horrible food. Thank God for the hamburgers and Hot Dogs on deck or we would have been hungry for a week. The Buffett never changed same food every meal every day and not good either. As for the dining room also same food every night with maybe o e variation . Not to mention because of this crazy new App thing so the crew never had to interact with you the only dinner reservations we could get was 8:30 or 9:00 way to late to eat bad food

Onboard Activities

Service and Staff

1 out of 5
The crew does not wish to speak to guests. After 7 days on the ship we were spoken to by 3 crew members our room steward Mary Ann who was awesome and the steward working further down the hall because we passed him in the hall occasionally. Also waiter in The Crown Grill was very nice.

Ship Quality

1 out of 5
The ship was clean enough but so boring in the decor . It’s a new ship only 2 months old at the time but it’s decor is so blah!!! I like a little opulence when I spend this much on a vacation

Cabin / Stateroom

1 out of 5
I know it’s an inside stateroom but it was the tiniest cabin I have ever been in .

Ship tip

DON’T

Ports of call

Juneau, Alaska

5 out of 5
We had a great time on a whale watching excursion ( not through the cruise line) through a private company called Viator it was great but when we got back to Juneau everything in town was closed so just back on the ship to face another horrible dinner

Seattle, Washington

1 out of 5

Victoria, British Columbia

What is the point, you have 3 hours in port and everything is closing up an hour after you get there pointless

CRUISE ENDICOTT ARM & DAWES GLACIER

1 out of 5
Saw nothing but tiny pieces of ice in the water. They said there was too much ice to go any further so at that point they could have gone on so we would have more time in Juneau but they didn’t we just sat staring at the same scenery

Skagway, Alaska

5 out of 5
Skagway was great had an afternoon excursion also with Viator for a salmon lunch( thank goodness we did , decent food for the first time

Ketchikan, Alaska

5 out of 5
