Review summary

We loved the ship and Skagway. We would pass on Juneau and Ketchikan next time. As a group we determined the towns are just too crowded when multiple ships are in port at the same time. If they spaced them out more it would have been much more enjoyable.

Embarkation

Embarkation was well organized and quick.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5
Sabatinis was the best. Crown Grill was just ok, would not waste our time there again. Main dining room was fast and food was good. GiGis was good every time. O'Malley's had great drinks and food. Buffet was good if you go early.

Onboard Activities

Trivia was always a good time. It was too cold for pool activities, but we enjoyed the thermal suit.

Size was perfect for the 2 of us. Balcony was large with lots of space, even when we had friends with us.

Ports of call

Seattle, Washington

Juneau, Alaska

2 out of 5
Least favorite port. Glacier was less than exciting and shops all reminded us of ones in the Caribbean where staff stand outside and beg you to come in. Twisted Fish was a great place to eat though. Excellent smoke salmon spread and halibut burger. It was the only saving grace of this port.

Skagway, Alaska

5 out of 5
Train ride to White Pass was stunning! Town area was clean and beautiful. We enjoyed this port the most.

Cruise Glacier Bay

5 out of 5
Breathtaking scenery. We saw eagles, otters, seals, and whales. The glaciers were gorgeous as well.

Ketchikan, Alaska

2 out of 5
There were 6 ships in port on our day there. It was way too crowded to see or do anything enjoyable. We got off the ship, had breakfast and got right back on. Way too many people for one small area. Creek Street was cute.

Victoria, British Columbia Did not visit port

We were only in port for 2.5 hours and the line to get off the boat was insane. We enjoyed the views from our balcony.

Disembarkation

5 out of 5
Very fast and easy disembarkation.
