Review summary

We have been to Alaska several times. The stops are not new to us which is ok. we know what to expect. The highlight of our trip was the fishing as last time we came to Alaska we couldn't go salmon fishing as it was bad. Also my husband won the last day BINGO Jackpot, that he spit with another winner!!!

Embarkation

5 out of 5
We got our medallions 3 days before, after watching the box be mailed to and fro all around us. It went from LA to Santa Clarita, to Bakersfield, to Lancaster, to Rosamond, back to Bakersfield, then back to Lancaster to be delivered to our door! Very Sad!!!

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

2 out of 5
Main food has gone down hill, Need more plant based foods that are appetizing. Specialty dining was so-so. we have had better on other ships

Onboard Activities

Bingo expensive but worth it if you win! Casino is fun but kinda tight. Too cold for us to go pool hopping.

Entertainment

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
Patrick was EXCELLENT. Give him a raise!!!! He fixed our TV twice. Always had a smile and a kind word to say. Waiter didn't know the difference between Chardonnay and Riesling . I ordered Riesling and got Chardonnay. And Then tried to say it WAS Riesling!

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
Yes Clean and beautiful. Would like more elevators that move a little faster. Waited forever

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
Not bad at all Front of the ship 3 big angled windows to see everything. Maybe install window wipers for the rain and drizzle.

Disembarkation

1 out of 5
Everybody clabbering to get their luggage and squish into 1 line to get out. Not Good. I WOULD PAY TO JUST GO TO THE TRANSFER BUS AND HAVE OUR LUGGAGE TAKEN CARE OF, LIKE AT THE HOTELS.

They offer the service to deliver your luggage to airport. Real handy.
