Enjoyed the cruise, loved being with family & thought Alaska was beautiful. The ship was outstanding. We were disappointed to have canceled the Endicot Arm & Dawes Glacier, but understand.

Embarkation

3 out of 5

Unorganized wiring, started down a line that dissipated & we went back. Others just butted into lines with poor etiquette.

Appreciate your feedback and positive attitude. Sorry you had “those” people on board. Sad about your luggage. Glad you enjoyed your cruise otherwise!

Thanks for sharing your cruise experience. Sounds like you had a nice cruise for the most part. That’s too bad about what happened to your suitcase and missed port stop. I’ll never understand why people feel so entitled that they don’t have to wait their turn in line.
